Orientation Be Gone


I've been working at OD for 2+ months and that feeling of being a beginner ended probably after two weeks at the job. Some of the reasons why is because I was no longer asking anyone questions on where this and that were or are in the store. Instead, some of the stockers that have been there months longer than me have asked me where an item goes. I guess I have my education to take credit for that. I've been through a solid, two decade streak of academics. My brain has been trained to remember, learn, and adapt with what needs to be learned.
One thing I don't like doing at my job is wasting time. Even though this job has nothing to do with my degree, I can still learn from the experience. My motto is: 'Never let experience be a waste". For example, I use my blogspot account as a way to keep up with my grammar and literary skills. Honestly, if you go back and read some of my achives, you will encounter a ton of written mistakes. My vocabulary and word use has expanded too. I don't know if it's just by coincidence or the presence of Babble.
My fellow employees find my presence as a comfort. I don't necessarily find ways to get on their nerves, but I can analyze some of these co-workers, find their faults and work around them. The store manager does remind us that, "You are here to work, not to make friends". Although, everyone has that same OD goal to become reliable workers. We have a staff meeting this Sunday, Superbowl Sunday. It is time for everyone to vent and try and make the OD world a better place to be.
That part of my life has become a great impact on my life, but I still have a non-work type of life. I'm either spending time with family, Babble, or with myself. With Valentine's Day coming up, Babble and I are trying to find a way to top the last two previous, yet 'commercial', occasions. The planning won't be difficult since last year we just stayed home, slept, and spend time together at our place. I miss that apartment, but that's about it.
Is Valentine's Day another day for accessible businesses to make money?
Of course! On February 13th, the condom sales jumps up nearly 93% from any average day. Good job to those who enjoy using protection. Although, the disadvantage about February 14th is the increase of sexually transmitted diseases by 35%. On the upside, the number of one night stands rises exponentially by 300%.*
Are there any decreased statistics about Valentines's Day?
Yes, but nothing really significant to jot down.

Lastly, OD is selling a task chair for $17.04 (Regular price: $79.99) Is anyone interested? Limited supply. I bought one.
