Pretty good. Easy day at the office, irritating drive home, great sex, good dinner, good work out, and I'm deciding between snacking on apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, or old pizza.
How's stuff going for you? |

shitty. I feel like my current job has run it's course and I really hope I get one of the TX jobs I'm applying for. not smoking because of a possible test is the worst (although I'm enjoying my whiskey/bourbon collection more)

my day was pretty ok. tomorrow is the really hot social studies teacher's last day. so I sent an email out to a bunch of my coworkers saying we were meeting for happy hour at the pub after work as a pretense to hang out with her. A bunch of people committed to come, including her, and she thought my email was funny. It's the little things

I had therapy and then went out to eat with a friend.
Last night my drawer at work was $1000 over and I was getting prepared to put up a fight about it being impossible that it was actually me who fucked up (I took $1k from a person and didn't give them anything for it? Yeah, okay), but when I called my store today my manager told me the office girl fucked up and not to worry about it. I just got promoted so I was worried they were just going to blame the new person. Like, I might fuck up while I'm learning, but not that bad. |

what position you get promoted to?
publix, by all accounts i've heard, is a great place to work. would you agree? |

What language are you doing? I've been trying to learn German so I do one duolingo skill and at least half an hour of "strengthening" exercise every day but it's so difficult
Also does anyone know a similar website to learn some basic Russian? |

i always wanted to learn german, because if you're gonna learn any language, why not the mother tongue of the Fatherland?

I wish I had the energy to learn another language. It would most definitely be German.
I'm on day 4 of no cigarette but I'm cheating. I got an e-cig, the type where you use liquid. I had it shipped to my work, and I wasn't going to be able to go to this outlet e cig store in time so I sent T to buy me some e-liquid and I think he got the most potent kind. I get that light headed feeling I used to get when I was a wee young'n smoking cigs. I'm sure it's not that all that healthy but it can't be worse than cigs. |

I am experiencing pain in the left side of my chest. Gonna get a scan of my lungs. Hope i don't have cancer or a blood clot. It's probably just some kind of indigestion crap, but Dr wanted to make sure I wasn't about to die. Other than that, I guess I'm ok.

Publix is very transparent. You know exactly how to move up if you want to. They are fair in general, and the managers tend to be competent. They pretty much only promote from within. And you get dental after 3 months, a 401k after a year, stock every year based on how many hours you worked, and a quarterly profit sharing bonus after a year. All this you get even as part time. And if you work 1500 hours in a year (about 30 hrs/wk), you get health insurance. I get exactly the schedule I want (I give them a little wiggle room). If I need to change my availability, it's no problem. Perfect for school, since my schedule changes at least 3x a year. Before I started school I was getting close to 40 hrs a week. Once you prove you're a good worker, you basically get whatever you want. At least at my store. Pay is shit of course, but for this kind of job it's realistic (cashiers start at $9/hr, after 1 year I was making $9.75). tl;dr yeah it's a good place to work. And if you don't want to go to school, it's really good too if you don't mind working 50hrs a week. The customer service manager is a year younger than me and makes 73k/yr. Started working for the company @ 17 y/o |

This is why Japanese is so easy. No plurals. No articles. No masculine/feminine bullshit.

the quarterly profit sharing thing is probably the most enticing part. like, they give you stock options that are actually worth something. a company that's owned in part by its employees? fuckin pinkos. everyone i know who's worked there has done so for several years. the prices there tend to be higher but there are always bogo deals. i figured out that pasta and pasta sauce are bogo on alternating weeks. same thing with crackers/spreads, cereal/milk, chips/salsa etc. the trick is to stock up and you and up saving a shitload of money in the long run. but even so i don't mind paying a little extra for the staples because i know it's a great company that treats its employees with respect and pays them decent wage which is, in turn, good for the local economy. every company should aspire to be like them. |
