pearwaldorfSo while I am waiting for Adobe Type Manager Lite to download so I can play with my nifty new font set mentioned a post or three back (dude, I'm happy that I have such a nifty font set for free, and I support all these new-fangled open source formats, but fuck. Couldn't y'all have made a plugin to give it Windows support, coz this 12 MB download? Not cool), I am going to tell you about the stupidity of my day at work.
So there is apparently a newly anointed president of KrogerCorp, which is Freddy's parent company, and he is Visiting the Store Tomorrow, which of course leads the store director to consequently flip out. And the big corporate people are freaking out, which amuses me no end, because these are the people who normally make my life a living hell whenever they decide to drop by and bullshit with my store director, who then makes me do all sorts of strange things like line up the vitamins so they're precisely on the edge of the shelf and strange things like that (and also because the regional person in charge of my section of the store is a fucking evil bitch who needs to die, but that's a story for later). Of course, my amusement was short-lived, as I was set to wiping down baseboards, and my knees hurt like a motherfucker, as well as my wrists. I think I'm getting the beginnings of carpal tunnel, which is like whoop-de-doo-and-why-am-I-still-typing?
And, to reward you for reading through that (even though I know you probably skipped it), a Mimi Smartypants entry. She is really weird. But she's entertaining while she is, so it's cool.

Date: 2003-09-03 03:38 pm (UTC)Re Kroger: The trick is learning not to care about the idiocy, which has been a long time in coming. It's also probably easier not caring being a peon, because your job is the same regardless of what happens above you. I believe the company is going through some Cultural Revolution-level purges of upper management, which doesn't exactly leave people sitting pretty, and then of course, it leads to vitamin lining-up.
