So i got a new phone and i've been playing around with it, trying to get music on it. Which has been quite a task seeing as you need the internet for it... haha well it's purple and freakin cool.
Work has been pretty annoying because the bosses are getting a little carried away with writing people up for nothing. Today Diann got written up for the cord for the slicer being plugged in while it wasn't being used. (This is the first and only time she's been written up in the 30 years she has worked for Albertson's). The reason why they don't like this is because it stretches across some open area to the plug and someone could trip over it. So if we are not using the slicer, we have to unplug in, coil it and hand it up. Even if we are just going to be helping a customer for a minute... waste of time i think because no one walks around the area it stretches over anyways.
Also a roody snoody guy who is in charge of 5s (some organization project thing) came in and wanted to move the entire bakery around for no reason. "because he likes change" he said, "he wants to make it easier for us, so we don't use extra effort and use less steps to get the job done" He wanted to move my table (the main production table) clear in the corner facing the wall, away from customers (its my job to help customers) and in front of the oven, proofbox, and fridge doors which are being opened and closed all day by the baker. So that would be in the way of them, and thus not very helpful at all... he's just a retard. Well the main part of this project is sticking labels on EVERYTHING, trash, paper towels, sink, book, tape, binder, pens, scale, table, heather, mixer, oven, icing, spoons, microwave, etc. Plus we have to put a tape square around all these things so they only have one spot where they belong... well with all this talk about saving effort and steps and such, thats alot of extra busy work they want us to do. Plus all those extra steps putting away the cord, then putting it out, then away, then out.... I think they're a little bit confused. But i sure wish i could have an office job where i just sat around all day and thought of ideas for everyone busting their butts at the albertson's, like putting stickers on everything with tape squares around it... cuz it just makes sense it should be that way...
And the best part of it all is the fact that we have audits every other day, and the bakery isn't looking its best because we're too worried whether or not the bucket of fudge on the back shelf and the stapler has a tape square around it...

OOH. I like the purple phone. That is pretty neat. I hope it works good. As for the crazies at Alb's.. they are just that.. idiots. Seriously, taping around where things go?? That is just lame.
Heather. Have you fallen off the earth? Its been a long while since we got an instant update!
Heather, I guess your dad has a different blog address.. it is http://lifeisyourtime.blogspot.com.
That is all for now, and if you are lucky, I will not post a 4th comment!!!
