Lettuce

Hi everyone. When I saw the date on my last post I was surprised! I didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted here. Oops! I titled this lettuce because that is what I do most days. We cut lettuce almost everyday at work. We cut into wedges and send it into the machine. The machine shreds it or cuts it and sends it on its way. At the end of the line another machine spins it dry, then another machine (me or some other human) bags it into bags and someone else seals it into the bag. This takes any where from an hour to 5 hours, depending on how much lettuce there is. I have been a lettuce fan and now I am really not one. ICK!I don't really mind my job too much except for the 6 a.m. starting time, the lifting of 50 or 60# boxes of food, the 41 degree room we work in or the constant water everywhere ( and the water is cold). That is what my days are like. Now I get to do it 6 days a week. Oh goody! Maybe now I can come in later, because I can still only work 40 hrs. If I had my way I would like to work only 20 hours. Antway that is what is happening in my world.

Where are you?

Merry Christmas everyone. Even Marbles sister. I have been blocked from your blog. I hope I haven't offended you in anyway. I need an invite to get into it. I saw it earlier today, so something went haywire somewhere today. I have had a good holiday. I tried to call Mom, but so far she hasn't answered the phone. All is well here. I feel like a rejected family member today. I certainly hope that is not the case. I had dinner with DH brother and his wife. it was a pleasant few hours.

Sigh!

Surprise! I am writing on this blog. I have done a lot of thinking and reflecting on things lately. I often wonder if all there is in life is to go to work, come home, collapse from exhaustion. Go to sleep. Start all over again. It seems that that is about all my has been so far. Today someone did me a kindness and I just about cried. my manager helped me by getting me a chair and helping me be seated at a Christmas Pot Luck that we had at work today. I thought "What a gentleman" Then I realized how often I have been given such a kindness at work especially, but also generally. I wondered why I have had such a hard time with bosses in my working life! In my private life and social life. It made me sad to realize how I had been treated. I wondered if it was my fault or someone elses. I thought I deserve respect. I am so thankful to big bro and his son who shoveled my driveway last Saturday. And son also went to the mail box down the street and got my mail for me. I appreciate such kindnesses!

I am not to happy about this. My history of success in "production" jobs is dismal. Just as the weather is getting cold, we start working in the refrigerator. But what worries me the most is getting to work on time, and only having access to the bathroom when we all get a break, I am thinking I might have to wear Depends at work. I have to get a bunch of long sleeve shirts because it might be cold. I think it will be better than boiling hot all day! Pray for me, Please? I need too make it for 15-18 months until I can retire!

It's About Time!

I am going to play the name game: then I will update on what I am doing. I hope I have figured out how to make a list.We will see if it works.

I have been very busy lately. I am so tired when I get home that instead of tackling my "to do" list I end up sleeping. I went to Wally world and did some shopping for groceries on the 4Th of July. This is the 2Nd time I have shopped for groceries there. I am sold. I have been spending over $100.00 every week. I can get a bigger selection of items for less money. &60.00 last week, for the same amount or even more than before, Yippee.
