Okay ladies and gents it is time for another blog about you guess it work. I didn't get written up or anything and I haven't had any run ins with customers lately but there is something coming up that I of course am not looking forward to. As 2nd dairy clerk I am in charge whenever the 1st is off or on vacation meaning that two days a week I work 7am-4pm which aren't the most pleasant days of my week but they are tolerable. Don't get me wrong folks, I wake up early anyway so it is not that that I hate about those shifts it is that alot more is expected of me. Next week my partner in crime will be going on vacation meaning that I will be in charge the whole week which is not going to be fun, when I went on vacation back in June he only had 1 day off of course the good news is since then me and him have been training a 3rd whose training is coming along rather nicely. He learns quick, has a good attitude and an excellent work ethic but he will need a bit more training before he is ready to be the opening dairy clerk on my days or possible only day off that week.

Due to my history of knee injuries and my recent back problems I am going to have to be extremely careful this next week, the last thing I need is another damned injury. Trust me ladies and gents, you do not want to deal with workers comp. They treated me so badly during my 3rd knee injury that I almost sued them, and I am not exactly the most litigious person either so you really have to piss me off to make me considering sueing your ass. It is partly due to these injuries and the fact that I don't want to be in charge that I am a 2nd and not a first, as a matter of fact I actually trained the current 1st dairy clerk after the last one was transferred to another store in the district.

He is doing a good job, but him and I can occasionally butt heads on exactly how much or how little it is appropriate to order as he prefers to go a tad lighter and I prefer to go a tad heavier especially on yogurt. Perhaps in some odd way we balance each other out, in a way I am the Applejack to his Rainbow Dash or I suppose with the ordering it may be the other way around.

So for that week I won't be on here nearly as much, on those shifts I check up on things real quick before I leave and I of course will catch up at night but will probably avoid the more controversial topics as I will be too exhausted to even care anyway. If I am in any way cranky or irritable during this time than I apologize in advance. Until then I am going to enjoy this one last week I have before I am the big boss.
