Good evening (morning or afternoon) everyone! Am I in a good mood? Hell no. Instead of bitching, whining and making your read a lot of nonsense, I’ll just put things in a timeline.

• 1000pm – arrive at work
• 1015pm – start work, only one other Associate working with me again and six pallets not down stacked and put on carts
• 1030 – we begin collecting charts , boss tells other Associate to do drinks again. So he pulls out his drink pallet first and begins to stock. Meanwhile I’m running around still getting things I need like a pallet jack, more charts, printer, plastic bag for plastic, etc.
• 1045pm – pull first pallet out. As I walk back to the cooler, the boss came toward me, so I said, “Can I express an opinion, ‘Why does Associate simply do drinks when there are five other pallets that need to be broken down. He hasn’t helped with me in the last couple of days nor another Associate on my days off. That just isn’t right!’. As usual, “I’ll take care of it”. During my conversation with boss she disclosed that he was going home at lunch anyway and doesn’t have a plan yet on what to do. When I get back, the other Associate does begin helping with the one pallet.
• 1130pm – pallet down stacked.
• Ran two carts of yogurt because I’m pulling another pallet before break is ridiculous.
• 1215am – Other Associate goes back to stocking drinks. What? Seriously? He doesn’t help me at all the rest of the night.
• 0200am (lunch) – a pallet and a half yet to down stack with no help from other Associate
• 0300am – Other Associate indeed went home. During this time period I”m stocking some things because I don’t have enough carts. See boss and tell her how many carts I have in dairy (5), meat wall (2) and other Associates behavior. She was shocked but didn’t say anything, just walked away. Gee thanks!
• 0430am – Finally got everything down stacked. Seven in dairy, two butter and five for the meat wall. Started stocking dairy . Another associate who was doing soda, juice and water said he was going to help as soon as he was done.
• 0500am – Other Associate comes to help. We chit chat, so I tell him what’s going on. Another associate comes by asking what’s going on. They all happen to be friends and one of the Assocaites asked the other to text the Associate who went home, “You’re a bitch!” (<—-ROFL).
• 0700am – I just finish all the yogurt and cheese wall. There are three guys working on the meat wall. They got four of the five charts done. I didn’t want to AT ALL but stayed because we still had one cart to run. At least the three guys were kind enough to help clean up before they left for the day.
• 730am – Got dairy all cleaned up, finally got to last cart of meat wall.
• 800am – done for the day. All freight was stocked.

I told another Associate who drove me home, “If he even speaks to me tomorrow, I’m going to get fired.” I just don’t want to deal with his bullshit. Apparently he’s going through something at home, hence his recent change in behavior, as reported by his friends who don’t like it either. I don’t give a shit, leave it at the door when you come in to work or don’t come to work at all. Don’t plan on leaving at the middle of a shift. **bangs head against imaginary desk**

When I got home I took a walk. I honestly am thinking about taking a personal leave of absence to get my life straightened out. I just can’t do this anymore. The insanity I go through at work on a daily basis just makes me want to drink. I need time to detox and get sober (without work interruptions) and get to a place when I can deal with the crap at work and not drink. It’s seriously on the drawing board now.

It’s just to much.
