Going home from work ...

... with Peter Gabriel playing in my ears.

It's cold and I'm getting off the bus to get dinner and then going to get an Uber to get me home. I will not be walking up the hill tonight.

That and the buses are running on holiday schedule and I want to get home before midnight since I have to be up at 7am to get ready for work again.

New hours tomorrow

I was suppose to work from 11 am till 5 pm. This has turned into my normal hours lately. But I left work and I was checking my phone to see that work called me.

I was ready to write it off as a mistake since I was just there, but then I thought that if it was important they would have left me a voicemail. I found a voicemail.

So I leave the store, where I was looking for new work shoes, to go back to Tommy Hilfiger, since I was still in the mall, to see what they wanted from me?

I find the manager who called me and she asks what my hours were for tomorrow and then proceeds to ask me if I could come in for 8 am because they need people to go help at the warehouse. She wanted me to go at 10 am, but when I told her that I had never been, she then says they could take Ezra since he has been there before.

But that does not get me out of having to be at work that early in the end. I still have to show up that early to cover someone else that they are taking to the warehouse I think.

I'm just not happy about having to leave my house that early. I have to call an Uber. So now I three days in a row were I will be working at least 9 hours.

I don't even know what I'm going to be doing those days. I'm hoping for cash rep, but they could easily stick me in the fitting room. Either way I'm on my feet the whole time.

Well, I'm buying dinner. The don't feel up to cooking and everything is frozen anyway.

Later.

I couldn’t do it

I was trying to see how much it would cost to get to work buying single ride bus tickets vs a whole month pass. But I gave up last night and got a bus pass.

Other than the first reason given for why I was doing this, I came out of February with a light schedule and entered March on a light schedule, so didn't want to spend money on a pass I wasn't going to use that much.

But it was so a hassle. Buying two tickets every day. On my phone mind you. Then the thing only lasted for half an hour so I never got to use the built in transfer because by the time the next bus showed up it had already expired and the bus drivers were anted me to pay more for a transfer. When I had a two zone ticket.

Last I knew, that covered the price for a transfer. So I paid for the tickets and then paid for a transfer with cash, that I have very little on me of, and that leaves me not being able to make an extra stop on my way home, which I did once in a while to get something for dinner or anything else that I may have time to do after work on my early days.

I also saw my schedule for the next two weeks and I'm back to a full schedule. So there was no point. I would spend twice as much if I kept buying single ride tickets.

Time to take a bath. I have work today. The last weekend shift for a while actually. Now I'm rethinking signing up for swim class.

Later.

Back to being a Slacker again 😆


My internet radio of choice is Slacker. I even paid them for a time when they had a cheaper membership available.

So I had to get rid of them maybe a year ago when they just about dropped service for my old phone. It had two things working against it. It wasn't the newest OS and the OS was windows.

So two days ago I was reminded of their existence and now I have music in my life again that is connected to the outside world. 😆

I may get around to paying them again, but right now I have more pressing bills to take care of.

On my way home from work now. Later.

Yeah.. I’m at work...

... for sports day?



We have quaternary meetings and today’s theme is Tommy sport. It made Mose sense when I realized that we had activities.

Three legged race
Plastic egg toss
Speed hanging
Sack race
Toss cups??
Perfect folding

And last but not least a Tommy themed quiz.

I wasn’t on the team picked from the members of stock, fitting room and cash rep. So I was free to wander around and take video of most of it. I was going to say all of it, but people got in the way because it wasn’t stated beforehand that those not participating shouldn’t be at each station, so it was a mob around the players as they were loudly cheered on.

Now I’m trying to get a ride home since I got a ride here and I’m not dressed for standing outside in 43-degree weather.

Also, this is the third time I’m trying to send this post out.

Later.

PS
That jacket is not mine. I just tried it on. Yes, I look good in it, but I don’t need to buy it. I need to buy a rain jacket.

Did I tell you I was taking swimming classes?

Yep, they start on the 17th and I ordered a swimsuit since I didn't own one. It came before I expected it to.

At least I have it in time for my classes at the rec center. Now I have to get a swim cap and flip flops.

I was thinking it was too tight and that I should have gotten a larger size. Especially after I saw how small the cups were on the top, but now it's growing on me.
