The Stockroom From HELL!!

I have my days but I think I would be considered a neat person. Maybe my store manager at Walgreens figured that out or maybe they though I’m a good employee to represent the store, IDK. Whatever they though I sure hope they stop thinking it. So for the past few weeks I’ve been visiting other Walgreens stores and doing some stock room organizing. I spent last week at the store close to my house and it wasn’t fun and actually kind of pathetic at how bad their stockroom was. I’m talking a huge ass stockroom just completely messed up from top to bottom. I felt that the store manager should have been fired for having letting that place get so messed up but it’s not up to me, I just cleaned up. So we cleaned that place up and moved on to the store on the north side of town. Now this place is a B.I.T.C.H.!

Compared to the store by my house this store is ten times better as far as people and store organization. The stockroom is infested with RATS! They’re breeding in the stockroom and its so fucking gross! I decided to stay home today cause hell I’ve been there since Monday and couldn’t continue to deal with it. I’m going back tomorrow but needed a day off. The second day I was there one of the managers found a box full of about ten mice and a week ago they found about 30 in a corner I was working in yesterday. I think they should close the store and burn it and the rebuild it lol but that might be kind of pricey. I’m just happy tomorrow is my last day and I can go back to my rat free store and be happy.

How To React

I was watching Logo (gay and lesbian television network) earlier today and there was a program on about gay and lesbian people and the problems they face at work. The part that really caught my attention was a segment about a beautician coming out to her boss who is also her best friend. I noticed how hurt the lesbian woman was when her best friend reacted negatively and tried to anoint her with holy oil. Her friend assured her that her job wasn’t in danger but that public intimacy was prohibited. It must be said that her friend did later come to terms with her homosexuality but still lingered with a level of homophobia. As I was watching this segment the question that hit me was, what’s an appropriate reaction when coming out? It is OK for to have an “I don’t care what the hell you think” type attitude with people or does it matter who the person is? Is it necessary to “respect” the feelings of the person I’m telling? When I began coming out to people I was never really afraid of what they thought of me, I was more afraid of what I would think of them if they had a negative reaction to my coming out. As I watched this program I really wanted the lesbian woman to just say, “hey this is my life, you can be my friend or kick rocks.” That’s essentially what I said to most of the people I came out to. I guess it comes a time in ones life where you have to be yourself and people have to accept you as you are. It’s not like the woman was confessing about a past drug addiction, I don’t know maybe it’s me but for whatever reason, I got really annoyed.

NEW!!!!!!!!!!

So I know it’s been like forever and a day but I’ve decided that if I have a blog then I should probably write on it. Life has been kinda weird the last few weeks because I got a job! Can you believe it? Karen thought I wouldn’t be able to do it but lo and behold it happened. Working at Walgreens isn’t all that fun but it’s a job and it gets me some extra money in the bank. I can’t complain. More to come….
