Default Apparently I Spoke too Soon (OT)

LOLOL I was the route accounting supervisor for a now defunct vending
machine company back in TN. No, I didn't haul boxes or load and empty
machines. Me and my "staff" (of English illiterate *legal* imingrants from
Europe and Asia the boss hired via a church organization. He got a tax
write-off and they were cheap labor) tallied up the week's inventory vs.
cash received on computers. It was our job to try to make it balance.
Never happened. I could barely have a conversation with any of my staff.
They were nice people but most had never seen a computer before much less
know anything about accounting. It was like working in a Three Stooges
film. Who's on first?

The boss was a petty tyrant who ran around yelling at people. (I am not
easily intimidated. You do NOT yell at me. I'm an employee, not a slave.)
I only worked there for a year and got out as soon as I could find another
job. At my new job I ran into some of the vending machine route supervisors
pulling their machines out of my new office. Yep, their contract had been
pulled. No surprise there! Trust me, I won't work for a vending company
again!

If carrying that puter wore you out, don't apply for a job in vending.
Carrying cases of 20 oz soda is hard on someone my age but most of
carrying is balance and leverage.
Some things never change and I have to remember where the boxes are to put
things in.

Slow to the game, Adrian


Jill, please remember the time difference. Us Brits are off to bed
before you are eating your evening meal.

True that! Sorry! But it was a back-breaking chore. I know how to set
up a computer quickly but I don't relish doing it. It's back in the
garage now and I retrieved the information I wanted.

Spoke with the vet today and I might be able to bring Persia home as soon
as the 23rd! They're going to call me tomorrow. That would be
fantastic. Save me the expense of boarding her for another week now that
I no longer have a job.
