    Today a guy at work called me the little sister of second shift. Strangely enough that did not upset me, instead it made me feel better. I am not sure why. I have never been the little sister to anyone. In fact I have a younger sister and am the one to look after her when her common sense run the other way in some situations. It does help that I am the youngest girl on my shift, a lot shorter then most of the guys, and I for some reason tag along with the guys rather than the other women on my shift. I guess that to be a little sister is not that bad for in a way that means I have about 10 big brothers (the guys on my shift I talk to)  to look out for me.

    To become a sister or a brother it is in how we act toward our co-workers, friends ,and neighbors. I feel all of humanity could be one family if we tried.*(*soft moment*)*

    On a slightly different note. last friday my shift got cake and ice cream. yummmm, it was good cake too. none of that cheap stuff either. Why did my shift get cake? Well we were celebrating, of a sorts. One of my fellow co-workers quit after she had used the last of her vacation and PTO time, so we got cake. It was unexpected too, she just when on vaction and did not come back. Now the unwritten rule is if we do not like you and you quit we pool money and buy cake to celebrate. Which is what we did. Now I know that sounds mean, but you did not have to work with this woman. Also the other people to leave gave some warning and got some cake as well. Once, one of the people who really did not like the person going bought the whole cake and paid extra for "so long, goodbye" written on the cake. The person going thought it was funny. 

    Do other jobs have unwritten rules, besides the obvious?

    Anyway, the woman who just left was a nightmare to all three shifts for years, but a longest pain to second. Our job is very simple. We select orders out of the system that the sales guys put in. We then take product off the shelves for each of the orders. We then bring the copleted orders to our packers. The packers verify that what we picked is the right product for each order. Then the packer packs the order and loads the truck for shipping. Thats it. We just pull product off shelves and the packers do the rest. The woman could not grasp it for years, then when she does get it she does it wrong. To start if you take to many orders all at once then you have a greater chance mixing them up. This woman did that a lot. Not to mention holding conversations (arguing) out loud with herself, believing we are all going to hell for not believing in GOD as much as she, and thinking that we are all against her. (After awhile she may have been right about that last one.) Well she is gone now and I wish her luck for the future.

    Have you ever worked with someone you will never forget?

    Why are we here?

    I have been thinking about this for some time now and have come to the conclusion that we must make are own reason before the end.

    What brought this to mind of late was an accident on the expressway that closed the three lanes two one and I was stuck inching along in traffic resigned to being late for work. Anyway life is short they say and that is true for in one moment the two cars and the semi-truck were on the road and the next they are beinging watched by the daily afternoon commuters as police and a heavy duty tow truck hall them up from a ravie. What was going through their heads as the barrer gave way to the semi? Did their lives flash before thier eyes as mine seemed to seating there in traffic. It was very odd for I have never thought that much of life and there I was summerizing my life and all its moments.

    What will I leave if I was to go today? I have no boyfriend or girlfriend that are very close. Nor do I want one at this moment but I would still like to say I had one when I go. I do have a lot of friends that may miss me. But if I have to fight of my next breath those friends will not hold me to this plain. At most it will be the regets that hold me here. I have a family and my parents and sister will I believe miss me the most. for famliy is family and the love will hold us for eternity. Love is strong but how strong.

    Items never factor in my life moments, though items are being given or exchanged as the case maybe, but they are not that important. Humanity works for items not just the necessities for all of their existance but why, for as they say you can't take it with you when you go. but you know I what I am happy as a human for we all live in the now carefully gripping the past but with a loose hold on the future. I work to influence the Now in the hope it changes the future but knowing what I did last year. 

    Why are we here? We are here in this Now to be here in this Now, as well as toworrows Now until the end.

  • What would be a legitimate reason to break up with your significant other?

    A reason to break up is Drugs or abuse of any form to anything or any body.

       

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

  • What Now?

    I go to work and I come home. I go to school and I come home. I wake up to go to sleep. Yet I do not feel that I have achieved anything. Why is that?

    I know that I am working toward my degree and that school is helping that and work is paying for that but I do not feel that I am connent. A lady at my work she is happy with her lot and I am not.  I am the only one at work that understands her when she talks about random things like the dislike and the whispering of the other women at work or pets and house work. But she is conent with her lot in this life and I am not.

    I know those of you say I need to get with the Lord and everything will be alright but honestly I don't believe even he will sort my restlessness out. and that is what it is pure restlessness energy in the hope of something to happen and I know that i am the one to make it happen but do not know where to being. I have thought of this summer starting a daily routine, looking for a job, looking for scholarships for next semester, working out, doing things I love to do, expanding my vocabulary in the process. but how do I start? I have no friends to do anything with because I work the night shift so one is up when I am. How do I push myself to suceed?

  • Today is almost the End

    I got my First Aid licence today isn't that great? I can help people now and I know what I am doing. yay!!!! I have not e-mailed anyone that I have addresses for in about two week cause i have been so busy. last tuesday way a nightmare to plan for. I have three major classes tuesday and in all three I had presentations for. In one them I had a final and in another I had two quizzes and chapter questions to do. oh lucky me. well I managed to finish two of the projects and part of the third before going to school that day. well since all we were doing in my first two classes where presenting and one test we got out early so I was able to finish the third project and the chapter questions and two quizzes before class that night. when I got home at 9:00pm I did not move or look at a book for about three hours. I was so sick of studying at that point. Finals are next week and I am more relaxed then I should be but I can't help it. After that tuesday I feel I could do anything.
