Popcorn and nuts.

Today wasn't so bad. It was slightly busier than norm, but considering we're on the cusp of Spring Break, it was like the trickle that will be the precursor to the inevitable bursting dam. I think what made today an all right day is that I wasn't by myself for the most part. It's weird-- for the past week or so, I've been working with mostly full-timers. Today when I got on the bus, it was with a bunch of ODF CPs. The experience was bizarre. There's such a difference between the staunch work ethic of the full-time crew and the flightiness of the college students. Being on that bus was like being amongst peers again, like I had escaped reality for a bit. I can't say it was enjoyable, but it was amusing.

I was at GMR Popcorn for the first half of the day. It was slow. Ridiculously slow. I think people forget that that stand is there, but apparently it's worse at Street combo which is, to put it simply, dead. By the way, have you ever changed and oil can? It's not as easy as the guys at work make it seem. Those cans are about five gallons, and considering I have a skin allergy with the oil they used... it was a nightmare trying to heave-ho that thing back onto the shelf. Anyway, I spent most of the day watching the High School Musical, which became much more fun when my filler, Gastina came in. I was glad to be out of there by break-time, though. Super glad!

The was a filler at Icon Nut until clock-out, which was fun because I worked with this 'Craig – Jamaica' character, whose REAL name is Jorge. Cindy, our zone coordinator was there, and because of the torrential rains from the day before, the water had leaked into the combo carts and had frozen the boxes over. She was using the poles that lock the cart to harpoon the boxes open again. Ice fishing for Mickey premiums, anyone?

A manager dropped by to poke about our freezers and misplace our lemonade display... then he wandered away to do whatever it is managers do. Mess up another schedule and piddle about, I'm sure.

So Jorge decides to 1199 – bathroom break, mind – and doesn't come back. Of course, I didn't realize this until Katheryn drops by to tell me she's my new filler. I just sort of stared at her and told her that Jorge was on register. It wasn't until we called in that we were told he had been changed to a stocker while taking his small break. Geez, way to keep on it, ODF. I would have taken orders all day under his name had I not been informed.

I was glad for the day to come to a close, simply because it was slow... but I have a long day to look forward to tomorrow, hooray! That said, I should probably get to bed.
