Long over due post.
Aug. 1st, 2018 02:11 pmI just haven't had much time to post these days so thought I would do one to keep my account active.
Work has ups and downs. We seem to be the local store everyone watches. We have have home office drop in way too often. Our managers stress out and it rolls down on us. So many people have quit due to the stress. We have secret shoppers who watch us to see if we say hello and offer help to every person who comes close to us. They fired one worker who was busy with whatever she was doing and didn't speak to a guest. Makes it difficult to do your everyday stuff if you have to stop every few moments to speak to someone. Some of the guest get upset because they get spoken to every few feet. They think we are watching them to see if they are shoplifting.
Tommy and I've been going to the movies once a week lately. We've seen Black Panther, Avengers-Infinity War, Life of the Party, Book Club, Deadpool 2, Ocean's 8, Incredibles 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, and Mamma Mia Here We Go Again. Oddly, Won't You Be My Neighbor hit home with me more than any of the others. I never watched Mr Rogers since I was a teen when his show first started. Tommy watched it as a kid. It went over how the show was started and the many world events that happened during the series. I cried through much of the movie. It showed Bobby Kennedy being killed and how Mr. Rogers explained it to a child. One moment was about Mr Rogers sharing a kiddy pool with a black man to cool their feet. You see I grew up with water fountains for whites and blacks. That is a memories than has bothered me all my life. We had a town pool that refused to allow blacks to use it. So this brought up many difficult memories for me. I really hope many people will watch this movie.
The heat is horrorible here in Texas. So many over 100 degree days. It was just under a 100 this week and it was such a treat. I've living here most of my life and can't remember 109 degrees very often. Come on winter.
