Some chit chat.

It’s official. Out state is now in lockdown. All nonessential businesses are closed as of 5:00 P.M. Saturday. I’m still working as we are essential and the people are flocking in to grab everything they can. It’s difficult to avoid the 6 foot space suggestion when thousands come through all day and I have to sometimes get close in order to help them. I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

I’m still watching Grey’s Anatomy when I have time and it’s a great escape from all that’s happening. A friend gave me a huge box of DVDs and I’m planning to watch them too. And I’ve organized my books so I don’t have to think after I finish one. I just grab the next in the stack. It’s a mix of genres and should be fun.

Stay safe and take care everyone.

I managed to actually finish a few books this week. And I’m totally hooked on binging Gray’s Anatomy. I swear that every other episode has me in tears. Sheesh, I’m such a softy. LOL I plan to squeeze in a couple of movies this coming week. I really want to watch Freaks. And then I plan on winging it by pulling an old favorite out of my DVD collection.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Some chit chat.

I know I’ve been sharing a lot about how tired I’ve been. Like a broken record. LOL Thought it was time I told you a bit about my jobs. I worked as an auto detailer for 17 years. Basically, I transform the inside of nasty autos into something as close to new as possible. It’s dirty, nasty and hard work. Often entailing taking out everything, including the carpet to get it cleaned thoroughly. When I finally decided I was too tired and old for the job, I got a new one and gave my notice. I worked out my two weeks while also training for the new one. Then my boss begged me to continue working for them on a part time basis and I agreed. About my new job. I’m getting closer to retirement and wanted something close to home, inside and fun. I chose Walmart. I like retail work and interacting with people and having less responsibility. Thought it would be an easy job as a Self Checkout Host. Let me tell you, it’s hard work. You are on your feet for 8 hours a shift, have to keep your work area clean, which means every few minutes it’s dirty again, LOL, and help customers when something isn’t working right. And there’s lots of problem solving trying to figure out why something won’t ring up, why the machines refuse to accept items or payments, and having to figure it out yourself when it’s super busy and management can’t get there in a timely manner. I’m usually running from customer to customer to help them and it’s a large area.  I come home with aching feet, knees, hips and back most times. I did finally find a pair of shoes that really works and I bought every pair they had in my size! I’ve met some really great folks and made some new friends, something I’d really been wanting to do. And I now have a best friend! She’s awesome and we are so much alike. We text and talk on the phone when not working together. I always said if I quit my old job, I wanted to work at Walmart. It’s only 5 minutes from my house and since I shopped there all the time, I already new many of the employees. It’s fun and I love it. It will be my last job before I retire and I’m lucky I got it.

One quick note. I am finally ready to quit my old job for good. It’s a hard decision as it’s a family owned business and we are all really tight. But, it’s time. I don’t need the money and they have things in place for when I’m not there anymore.

And about Covid-19. While at work last night, they announced school closings in our area. It had been insanely nuts at work and I braced myself for more madness. Sure enough, people came in droves, often coming to my area with 4 or 5 buggies packed with stuff. Toilet paper and paper towels sell out faster than we can put them out and the same with water and nonperishables. I finally got off of work at 11 last night and walked the grocery aisles to see what it looked like. Barren shelves everywhere! It felt like a scene from The Walking Dead! I’m not panicked about the virus, but I’m worried about being able to get the things I need for normal day to day living as people are buying everything in bulk, leaving nothing but empty shelves. I was lucky with one thing. I’d just updated my hurricane preparedness stuff and have plenty of supplies. I just don’t want to have to dip into them and not have them later. Is it the same where you live? Are people panicking?

One more update. We now have some confirmed cases in our county. Our store is now closing earlier and we are being offered to work as much overtime as we want. I guess it’s in case they have to close for a couple of weeks. We will also get paid if they close. I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

I keep wishing I had something fun to share with y’all. It’s still all work, work, work. Sigh. But, I do have three days off this coming week and I plan to work on the pool and yard, get my hair cut, and do some serious reading and watching my shows. I’m sue I’ll squeeze in a few short naps somewhere. LOL

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.
