I work at a thrift store. A non-profit organization. I work with disabled people, or should we say physically handicapped? They can only do so much. And some of them are excellent workers. They try their best.
I don't remember when we found out we're not putting out enough clothes. We have to hang a certain amount of clothes per day. The crew I work with has never met our goal. I don't know why. My supervisor has missed her breaks because she's afraid to loose her job. I personally don't care anymore. I've been with the company over nine years and have seen this before, at least two or three other times. Somehow the stores always manage to get out the clothes the higher ups want.
We've also run out of hangers the past week and had to go home a little earlier than normal. Fine by me. We can't do our job if we don't have the supplies. Besides, I like being sent home early. It gives me more sit down time. I hate standing.
The company does not seem to be doing all that good anyway. I was working 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, but they took 5 hours away from me. Fine. I work 35 hours a week and still get benefits. Fine by me.
They're threatening to give me back my 5 hours. Right now, that's all it is, is talk. I'll take them back if I have to. That would be more money for me. So either way, I win.
Maybe I should start looking around for an office job when I go on vacation. I don't have anything exciting planned except to go to church because we're having a week long meeting. I'm looking forward to that. Plenty of sit down time then.

/t.

ditto what /t. said..
keep on keepin' on..
i don't have a sit down job either.
it can get tiring ..
/t. Thanks, I appreciate that.
........, I thought you were a teacher. My teacher sat down and stood all day while teaching us students.
I've found that when a company is doing badly, it's always a good idea to have a backup plan. I got my job at Pretrial three weeks before my old job went out of business.
Yep, hang in there and do what ya gotta to take care of you!
no point hangering around any longer than you have to (yes that was a pun)
start looking Lambie. If sit down is what you want, sitting down is what I know you will get.

Indigo, I sort of have that back up plan. I'm looking at where I went to school for a sit down job. They hire students who have gone there. I keep looking on their web page for jobs.
Skunky, sounds like a plan.
Pink, Okie dokie.
yes,
start looking
maybe you have luck
best wishes.
Thank you.
I wish you luck in your job search, Lamb. I have been looking too. Maybe we will find one at the same time.
Looking around—even if you’re just looking—for another job is never a bad idea. There’s no telling what a smart lamb may come up with.
Corn Dog, Thanks. I wish you luck too. Maybe we will.
SSN, No, its not. One never knows.
art teachers never sit ..
except for those 30 mintutes for lunch.
we are always up and about helping students..
at least i am.
I didn't know you taught art. I thought you were an elementary school teacher.
HAPPY
WEEKEND, LL!

HI Lambie. I don't hope you get the chair.
/t is being silly.
Lamb is better SLOW roasted.

pinks
/t. I have to put the application in before we can discuss the donuts.
Pink, OH NO!!!!
lambs are important to education - where would graduates be without the old sheepskin??
:-0
Maybe we can spend those 5-hours together. We can start by carefully hanging our own clothes up.
;-)
You may have something there, Pug.

She fed it kerosene
The little lamb sat near a fire
Since then she's not benzene

Oh brother, here we go again! Goodnight Ruela, goodnight Pink.
/t, wouldn't that have been:

HEY! Lil Lamb! I thought of a sit down job that pays well and you might do great at it.
(o lord help me...)
telephone sales.
No, really.
The hardest part about it as some folks take the nos too seriously.
But you would just shrug it off like water on a duck's back.
It pays pretty good, too.
hey LL
hey ruela
hey carmen
hey pinks
hey boneman
>8---:} )
hay? why hay?
why not high?
good night, sweet princes...good night , sweet princesses...
Exit Horrortia
Boney, NO WAY!!!! I'd also take the no's too seriously too. I applied for that job one time, and you have to get all yeses on that type of job. It may pay well, but its not as easy as you think. That's why theres such a BIG turnover in that field.
/t. :-)
Carmen, :-)
/t.:#
LL,:#
OK, well, I'll keep thinking on it.
Y'know, I just noticed a couple of things....
The "lamb" army over to the right has gone out of step with each other, somewhat.
Well, 'Speed' Lamb is still on the stuff, but there's also a lamb in there with no arms.
Is that the one that was so good y'all didn't want to eat her all at once?
And, how come that lazy Dolly ain't jumping at all?
That lamb shouldn't have nay legs, it was only missing one arm...
>8---:} )
i can wink, too
>6---:} )
Carmen, \0/
Boney, I already put in an application for a records specialist with the police department. The reason that lamb has no arms is /t.'s fault. He ripped off the arms. Dolly thinks she's in good shape and won't jump rope.
Phos, which lamb?
/.t ;-)
*waving right back at You*
(( hug ))
Waves at anna-lys

Carmen, that sounds great!
Foam, its not the weekend for me yet. My weekend starts Sunday. But then I'm on vacation for 2 weeks.
Boney, I like the police and hope to work with them one day.
I don't know what happened to Boney. Blame me why don't you? Oh yeah, you already have. Baaaa!
AHA AHH AHAH HA AHAH AH AHA HAH HA HA AHA HA AHA AH AHAH AH AHA HAHA HAH AH AH AHA AHAH AH AHA HAHA AHA HA HAH AHA HAH HA HAH A HA HAHA HA HAHA HA HAH AH AHA HA HA HA HAHA AHH AHAH HA AHAH AH AHA HAH HA HA AHA HA AHA AH AHAH AH AHA HAHA HAH AH AH AHA AHAH AH AHA HAHA AHA HA HAH AHA HAH HA HAH A HA HAHA HA HAHA HA HAH AH AHA HA HA!

Drat those carnivorous lambs - left nothing but Boney's bones...
ok, we're gonna plant 'em here.
Some flowers....
so sad.....
never stood a chance.
back to the old pic
a wave and a wink.
Six feet under so
he don't stink.
If you look carefully
you can see the smile
and after watching for
a little while....
the idea suddenly lands....
hey wait a minute! waving hands?
It's a shadow for sure
and I wouldn't want to cause friction....
I mean after all,
it was only fiction.
(or was it? could it be?
well, it probably am
just the red lips of a
rare meat eating lamb.
Honestly!
We have to find the culprit.
LL, we need english speaking people in education here...
think again...:)
