Digging Out of the Snow Hole Part Deux.

Well, I was successful in moving my car to a spot where snow has less occupancy.  I should be able to get to work tonight safely if I'm careful.  After using the shovel to move snow to a better place, I came to realize something important.

I made the right call yesterday.

Upon reading a status update from Warrensburg, Missouri's official Facebook page, I began debating whether I should call in or not.  After a couple of hours of deliberation and trying to go to sleep, I went ahead and did so.  More snow came later that night.

I wouldn't have had enough time to shovel the snow away so I could drive to work.  Hopefully the road crews will be able to clear some streets for safe travel.

Digging Out of the Snow Hole.

Well, today is going to be interesting.  I did call in yesterday, because I prefer to be safe as opposed to being sorry.  Recklessness in 2007 is what caused a broken limb, and I had no intention on having a repeat of that.

Today, the snow has stopped.  That means I'll have to shovel some snow away from the car after I get something to eat.  I figure I'll only need to move enough snow to move forward.  Hopefully, the car won't get stuck.

If I'm lucky, Business 50 will be cleared up enough to go down the hill.

If it isn't, I'll have to find another way to work (maybe take the other road to 13).  No matter what, I'll have to contend with some hills.  I missed one night of work, and if I can help it, that will be the only night this week.

The sun appears to be trying to shine through the clouds.  Let's hope enough of the snow begins to melt to allow traveling to work.

I might return for another post in a couple of hours depending on how I feel.  Wish me luck.

Weeekend's Over Wednesdays: Letting Go

Thanks to the mini vacation that I took, the batteries are now recharged.  Having only three days in a work week was also a good change of pace.  The ending of it was a bit stressful, but that's because of an unexpected rush we had.

My how corporate panicking can bring chaos.

The rush that day caused a bit of stress in and of itself.  It wasn't fully work related.  There's a personal issue at hand.

As I've noted before, I've been blocked on Facebook by a couple of a people.  When one of them comes to my place of work to shop, I try my best to not go near them when I'm not on a register.

After all, I'd rather not make things any more awkward than they already are.

I noticed that when I was on a register, that person would come to my line, notice I was behind the register, and choose a different register on the other side of the store.  So here's a heads up for people who may not care for me.

  1. My nights off are Mondays and Tuesdays.  Most of the time, I try to avoid going to my own place of work to shop on those nights due to wanting a break from the place that I work at.  Those nights are ideal for you to shop, because I'm not there, so things hopefully won't be as awkward for you.
  2. If you have a personal problem with me, you need to say something.  Who knows.  I might learn about something that I was doing wrong and not realize it before hand.  It could very well make me a better person and more considerate towards others.  In the adult world, I have to deal with people on a constant basis that I may not care for.  Guess what?  It doesn't matter, because I still have a job to do.
Needless to say, that behavior bothers me.  At least the other person who blocked me still comes through my line when they're purchasing merchandise on occasion.

Pruning the List

 I did something I don't normally don't do on Facebook.  I actually pruned my friend's list.  Most of it involved people that I didn't really communicate with or share much in common.  I normally prefer the other person unfriend me, but in this case, I felt it was necessary.

I'll probably do some more pruning in the coming days.  In the meantime, I did get another podcast up thanks to Steve Kelley.  He's an awesome co-host.  I also have work tonight, so I better get some sleep beforehand.  I wish you all a wonderful day, and I promise to blog more often.
