Working it out at work...& getting Aroundtoit !

We had what we call a "Grass Roots" meeting with the Store Manager on Saturday. Which meant........we had to sit there for nearly 2 hours & listen to him talk.......there were snacks......so, it wasn't to bad. He told us (the Demo Team) that if we had a Demo for the Bakery from now on.........that's what we did.....A Demo only. No more working in the Bakery........WooHoo!!!!!
Now if we could just do away with the Check-out line Demos.......we'd be very happy campers indeed.
Someone also brought up selling the Plus Memberships to him........well, while he understood selling Memberships was not part of our job.......he did say however, that if someone seemed interested in a Plus Membership all us Demo Ladies should know about them. OK, I can handle that.
I was off Sunday....but, had to work on Monday. I hate working on a week day......there is hardly anybody in the store. I had frozen Blueberry Muffins.......& I only had a case of them (12 boxes)..........Low product means if you sell out before the day is over.........you go home......or get "Bumped".
At Lunch time I checked & had 4 boxes on the shelf (actually 5, I had one under my table)........while I was in the break room, my Boss came in & said....."Looks like you will be leaving behind me, you only have 2 boxes of Muffins on the shelf."
Wow. When I got back from Lunch......& as I was putting my hair net back on......a lady came up to my table & said....."Oh, frozen Muffins, just what I need."
She wanted 6 boxes.......but, was happy with the 3 I gave her. So, I went home early. It was just the kind of week-end I like at work.......quite !
At home, I have most of my "Fall" stuff up. I have a few garlands of colorful leaves that I put around my Apt. door.......I've been putting it off. But, then......that's just like alot of other stuff........I just put it off. I'm so bad about that. I started Christmas gifts for people at work, & friends this Summer........& I'm still working on only the second hand towel of a set for my one friend........all the rest are piled up in a corner of my Apt. not even started yet. I take Surveys on line.......& get $3.00 a survey..........I have 4 checks stacked up here by the computer......my Bank is only 3 blocks away.......Jeepers ! I just put off, going to the Bank. I did however (finely) mail a box of Stephen King books to my friend in Ohio........& it only sat in my Apt. for 6 months. Right now......while I'm writing this......I'm doing my laundry......Why ?.......because I put off doing it yesterday. I also have to get dressed (sigh) to go down & help serve the Noon Meal. Note to Self: Stop doing that ! And....there's the buzzer for the laundry.......Excuse me.
In my bed room closet....there is a big suit case that I brought to Wisconsin from Florida.........there is stuff in it........& I've lived in Wisconsin for 4 years now.
Needless to say....whatever is in that suit case......I don't need anymore......it's been one of my goals to clean it out, & take the stuff to Good Will.
I need Aroundtoit..........& someday I will find my Aroundtoit. In the mean time......I need to get dressed & go Serve the Noon Meal.
