Vortex is an understatement but close enough lol. Turns out he was looking apprehensive about going to another store today because it’s a nightmare over there. The changes being made are necessary and a little uncomfortable for some people but should have already been implemented long ago. All shifts have cleaning duties but night shift has the most because they are slow. This morning was the first day I didn’t have to take 2 shifts worth of trash out. Just a very little bit after lunch.

@Josie Beth sounds like you are starting to make some progress.  That’s really great considering you just started.

It’s slow going. Some people have a hard time understanding the division of labor or priorities but when they see how it all works out and how prioritizing does improve getting tasks done and things run smoother then they have a lightbulb go off and have better attitudes. Getting people to expand their duties when it’s necessary is another hurdle. The one rule that trumps everything is that the customer comes first so getting them out the door with exactly what they need takes priority over everything else. If they can help do that even though their job for the day is something else then they can get back to their other things that can be done later.

Good Morning all, on my 2nd cup, getting caught up on the threads here from overnight. Yes Josie the customer is always first, why do some businesses continue to loose sight of this ?

 

A nice relaxing weekend ahead, our youngest daughter coming over later for dinner, always nice to see her, you miss them when they move out....

Why do some companies lose sight of it? Because they throw time restrictions into register times, or how long a person waits to complete a purchase when the time restrictions usually don’t take into consideration the social aspect of talking to a customer to make them want to return, which is what some customers need. It’s all about the most sales in the shortest interval to most companies so they lose sight of what got them to where they are: the customer.

That isn’t a problem in the south.  You have to learn to spend social time at the checkout unless there is a line.  Good morning how are you. Thank you have a blessed day...  coming from the north where your lucky they don’t throw your bags at you and start the next person it took some getting used to.

Good morning, gifted with yet another day here I ponder with coffee, the next steps of the day, the music is in my head phones (Jethro Tull, "Reasons for waiting" 1969, so beautiful), our daughter came to have dinner and hang out with us last night, always special.

 

Cool and cloudy here now, 39f, word of possible snow flakes here this week, that would be a first this season ? Our winter has been mild so far...

 

Have a great Sunday all

I’m just being lazy at home today. No coffee yet but I guess I can make a cup or two. I slept in. Decided to switch the TV to hallmark and it’s more relaxing than the other channels. It’s warm today compared to the last week. I’m deciding what to do with myself for the weekend. Maybe I should just stay home and enjoy some me time.

Somehow this reminded me of "Reasons to be Cheerful Part 3"  by Ian Drury and the Blockheads in 1979.  Such a weird stream of conscience prose.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcjh1a9Yoao  A great Sax solo.

 

 

I finished breakfast and still had a sour stomach from overnight.  I'm nursing a cup of green tea now.   The Mourning Doves are in the yard poking about.

Good afternoon. I just got to this thread today sorry for being so late.  Having a Pepsi.  Yesterday turned out so great. I dressed out and had my pronoun button on.  Did not get ma'med or miss'd once. It felt so great.  Today we're relaxing at home.

Great groove in the sax solo !

 

Hope you are feeling better by the time the words reach your eyes Jani

 

The season's first snow has finally arrived, it's becoming all white out here as I type this...

How about that!?  I have family in Seattle and they got a nice snow blanket too.  Of course, they have no snow shovels, window scrapers etc.  LOL

 

I'm heading for my 2nd cup and then heading to my new position.  ?

I was a bit surprised at how much snow we got here in Snohomish County.  They predicted 3" max overnight but it is more like 6" where I'm at.  No driving fir me today.  Doubt I'll do my daily walk either.  I can't find my darn ski gloves.  It's 21° F.

It's so rare for us to get any accumulation here down near sea level where I'm at, I thought I'd post a pic of my backyard.

oh my Susan, look at that, we have about 4" here, at 400'....

 

I did 4.5 miles in boots out there a little while ago and it felt good, the north wind is blowing and it was chilly....

 

I am thinking about making a hot cup of Chocolate Ovaltine ?

Wow, I thought there was a decent regular snow fall in your areas.  I know its fairly rainy in the summer, right?  Or do I have that wrong too?

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      TBH, I have no idea where to start with makeup.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.

      I had fun doing this a few weeks ago.  This is how I got rid of -money:     This music player code of mine is really working out nice.  My music collection is all mp3 files.  I put them on my server and then code things like that to play them and loop them.  And then I coded an app while I was in the mental hospital in 2009 that I use to transcribe my music with.  It's a Windows app and you can browse to an mp3 or use a URL to an mp3.  Once it is in the program, it looks like a normal music software timeline and there are sliders to slow it down and speed it up by octaves, semitones and cents, so you have complete control over what key the music is in.  And you can create loops in it and I added a feature a few years ago where it remembers all the settings so when you open it again, you still have the same loop set with the pitch settings.  I've been putting my favorite recordings in it lately, setting the funkiest loop I can find and then slow it down an octave or more.  Then I play drums to it and piano stuff, or pennywhistle.  I like playing drums on the floor.  Even though I got rid of money and well, I should have done that decades ago, I had a good time the other day hitting my bin of GO stones with my drumstick.   I don't know if I'll get flagged for self promotion here or not.  You know, I'm a musician and I'm just sharing ideas for how to listen to and enjoy learning to play music.  I'm not the only one who has made tools like this.  I'm really geeking out on my roommates drumset.  I learned to play in the 90's, but I haven't had a set since then.  I've been playing 5 gallon plastic water bottles as hand drums for 30 years.  They are relatively inexpensive and common and they sound great.  Very fun to play along to your favorite music.  And if you can slow the music down, it can make it easier to play to for some songs.  As advanced as I get as musician, I still enjoy just meditating on playing some simple pattern over and over.  Lately I've been playing an Emin7 chord going to an Fmaj7 chord on the piano.  It's all white keys.  You just play an E and then skip a key etc...  Every other key for 4 notes and then just move that all up one key for the Fmaj7 chord.  I just like the droning quality of it.
