Same old, same old

Well another month almost over. It is a usual blah Feb. But it sure beats Jan. Lots of lettuce etc. to cut. Still getting up at 3:30. I am still hating it. Cheer up in just3 weeks (March 13) we can go back to daylight savings time. This means that I can go back to getting up at 2:30 and waiting for three hours after I get to work before the sun is even up. Oh joy.

Hi everyone.I have successfully gotten through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, My Birthday, A nasty 2 weeks virus, Two weeks of impossible driving conditions,and todays holiday.

HELLO! Well fall is here again. It is my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately winter is my least favorite time of the year. Last week was homecoming, and apparently everyone wanted potatoes. 1200# worth. All but 100# were wedged red potatoes. On each of three days I had to wedge (cut with a machine) 10 buckets worth. This is a pain in the you know where. The hardest part finding the buckets and the lids to fit the buckets. We recycle plastic buckets & lids from bulk things like 30# butter buckets or cherry pie filling etc. The buckets come from different companies, thus each bucket has a different lid. They are not necessarily interchangeable. This turns out to be a really fun game of match up. It is a back killer also. lifting 50# boxes so not fun! This week it was celery sticks to cut, cases and cases of them. It has to be the most tedious job in the whole place. I have no idea how much a case weighs, but it has to be at least the same as potatoes, and the boxes are a lot bigger, thus more awkward to move. Besides that the area where we cut them is in the coldest part of the room. It is right in front of the refrigerator compressor (that is I am facing a table and the compressor is blowing on my neck the whole time)! i have also had many cases of green onions to trim. and then slice in the machine. It is a good thing that onions do not bother me! I do not cry. Get me out of there.

Hello

Hi! I am still here. I am feeling better than I have for awhile. Prozac is a miracle! The other antidepressant was not working. I had been taking it for years, I don't think it was helping much at all, ever. I am loosing weight. The doctor said it was aside effect of the pill. I actually feel like I can cope most days. It probably does not hurt that I am trying to go to bed at 8:00 p.m. either.

I am still here. Life is a struggle for me now. I know I should be thankful for what I have now, and to a certain extent I am, but my work is getting to me in a big way. I miss all of you also, and wish I had kept better contact with you. I am excited to see Alfs' Boy & Linc. on Friday. Be safe getting here!

Hi!

I guess I will post something, albeit brief. I have a few words that I like. LOLLYGAG, BROUHAHA, LOQUACIOUS, BODACIOUS, IMPERVIOUS, YUMMY, CHOCOLATE, ICE CREAM, CAKE, FROSTING, BEEF, PORK, LACKADAISICAL, FUNNY.I have been busy at work, and not very happy with work, especially the boss(es) & the politics of the place. I went to Doctors a few weeks ago. Blood sugar, electrolytes, Thyroid all normal. Only thing, why am I in so much pain most of the time, and why am I so blue. Dr. is changing my meds for depression. It seem that the ones I have been taking are not working. I do not feel that they ever have. Trying Prozac now. Cannot tell if it is working yet. Job requires that we will start working at 5 in the morning starting June 1. The will probably be deciding factor in retirement decision. YES, YES YES. I can officially on Jan first 2011. Probably will.
