The Town of Odyssey

If I came to the Meijer where you work, and didn't put my cart away, would you get mad at me?

Have I officially marked myself as a stalker now? In referral to tonight's activities in this forum.

Aha, that makes me smile. I am proud of you for your kindness towards Target.

However, I'm not proud of you for misspelling "Meijer". It's not "Myers".

Always.

Lee wrote:Also, how did you acquire such popularity on here?

Popularity is in the eye of the beholder... or something like that. I don't see myself as being "popular" or anything. I've learned how to just be myself, and if people think of me as being popular, sweet! Also, I learned from the best posters ever; Top, JIA, Catspaw, and others.

No; you'd be like most of the customers that come into our store.

Alas, it has been four days since you asked that question, and I can't remember what "tonight's activities in this forum" were...?

Translation: You're popular

I apologize for my actions.
Am I popular?

I was stalking Lee on the web and was able to locate her. But that's okay, after I posted the question I got a pm from Lee with a definite 'yes'.

What's some of your favorite things to do?

So this isn't really a question as much as a statement. But I went to Meijer (note correct spelling) today and there were a bunch of cart people (I'm not sure what they are officially called), standing around TALKING! I am sure you never participate in such slacking.

Obviously, I am a poor gauge of popularity, but you do possess an aura of coolness.

Pretend to be a rich man, play volleyball and football with friends, work with little kiddos, watch sports and movies.

Those poor cart pushers have been working outside for hours, and when they pause for a moment to strategize how to best collect carts, you have the audacity to call them slackers? Occasionally I will stop for a moment to talk to a co-worker, but I never slack off.

The official term for my job is "Utility worker", because we do much more than collect carts.

Ah that would be why I also saw them changing trash bags.

You take breaks? Well see if I ever come to your store!

We spend like half our workday on break!

That's what they do here, and it's pathetic

Do you get paid to be on break?

We have breaks and lunches. Breaks are 15 minutes, and we get paid for those; lunches are 30 minutes+ and we don't get paid for that time. You only get a lunch if you work more than 5 hours.

Yet you spend half your work day on break?

There is a slight possibility that I was kidding.

If AE uses the smiley, he is 99% of the time kidding.

What do you think of Joanne?

Lee wrote:What do you think of Joanne?

This is a trap question.

There's no right answer. If I say she's great, you'll chime some wedding bells. If I say she stinks, you'll call me an unfeeling beast.

True, true. I cruelly torture anyone who's in a dating/courting relationship (or someone who might get into one... )

I need to grow up.
