K_Kinnison Posted December 22, 2001 Posted December 22, 2001 for anyone who ahs worked retail from the time after thanksgiving to Christams eve, knows what i mean. the commercialisum of Christmas "giveing and reciving" is still going stong, even after reports of recession. Nwo granted i spend about $50 each for the people on my christmas list. But in know was was it to make them fel guilty on getting me a small present. i did it out of the Love of what my LORD has given me. and the blessings i have recived. Anywaz, working at UPS was VERY tiring. I was starting work at 3:00 am in the morning, and getting done with what we call "The sort" at 8:30am. At the End of the the sort, all the drivers trucks are loaded, and crammed with packages both for merchants, businesses, and residents. One of my drivers had a helper thruout the peak season. That was me. SO after i got with the sort, i rushed bakc home, got my brown uniform on, and helped my drier deliver packages for 3-5 hours. i did not have much time for anything else... even to eat. It was what i could grab, and i barley had time to clean my cloths. Sleep, work sleep work. I was so tired at the end of the day, i would even go to bed without supper, and hope i was able to eat enought calories to sustain myself. I suffered a cold, diarreha, and numerous boughts of an upset stomach. Thankfully it is over now. now i am able to focus on what christmas really is about.. the birth of our savior, and fufilment of God's promise of salvation from sin peace be will you all, and have a very merry christmas.
Admiral Odin Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 Monday will be my busiest day at work. (I expect to peal a lot of shrimp) So I have yet to survive the rush in my field.
Nitro Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 Yeah... The rush doesn't even START until Boxing Day for this Wendy's grillman. I'm working 3-7... The friggin' supper rush with all the hungry shoppers on their way home and too tired to cook for themselves.
milkshake Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 hehe, I got a story about Wendy's, maybe I'll share it with you guys one day.
Nitro Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 I've got a million stories about Wendy's, and I've only been working there for a month and a half!
Commander 598 Posted December 24, 2001 Posted December 24, 2001 I have a million stories about Wendy's to. It ain't about the food either. Note: I know that "ain't" is not a word.
Zargon Posted December 24, 2001 Posted December 24, 2001 Main Entry: ain't Pronunciation: 'Ant Etymology: contraction of are not Date: 1778 1 : am not : are not : is not 2 : have not : has not 3 : do not : does not : did not -- used in some varieties of Black English usage Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated, ain't in senses 1 and 2 is flourishing in American English. It is used in both speech and writing to catch attention and to gain emphasis You sure about that?
Rogue Nine Posted December 24, 2001 Posted December 24, 2001 It's actually more grammatically correct than "aren't".
Commander 598 Posted December 24, 2001 Posted December 24, 2001 Well I didn't know that... learning something ever day...
Rogue Nine Posted December 24, 2001 Posted December 24, 2001 But it ain't everyday you learn something here at XWA. Consider yourself lucky. Or not. This is XWA, after all.
JR2000Z Posted December 25, 2001 Posted December 25, 2001 Surpriningly I rarely eat at Wendys. I don't think I ever ate at KFC in my whole life for that matter.
milkshake Posted December 25, 2001 Posted December 25, 2001 Matey you are very lucky, KFC suxs big time, and I belive it always has since the col. died.
K_Kinnison Posted December 25, 2001 Author Posted December 25, 2001 the Col died? Not he jsut got reanimated as a cartoon... I RESFUSE TO BELIVE HE DIED!
JR2000Z Posted December 25, 2001 Posted December 25, 2001 Yes, we will remember him as a cartoon. When did he die?
Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 26, 2001 Posted December 26, 2001 It's Hell week at Regal Cinema's, and i got through the Christmas day rush. i got off New years day, which is the peak of Hell Week at regal, so i feel sorry for all the saps that half to work
Nitro Posted December 26, 2001 Posted December 26, 2001 Fortunatly, I'm closing today, which means I miss the Boxing Day lunch and supper rushes... On the other hand, it means I'm stuck there from 7:30 till 2 am...
Zargon Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 ugh, taht sucks, I am opening as we speak, 8-12, not a LONG shift, unless you are on crutches and have a leg immobilizing brace on...........I hope to get off at 11.....
Nitro Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 I'm on from 5 to 9 tonight... Boxing Day Episode 5: The Customer Strikes Back. See, only about a third of the stores here are open on Boxing Day, so we get our biggest rush today... AND I'M STUCK ON GRILL!!!!
Rogue Nine Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Methinks it's a Canadian/European holiday that has something to do with boxing and wrapping things and actually has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.
