So I had the SDA union rep in the other day. I was headed to lunch, so I quickly explained that yes, I was new. Yes I love unions. No I don’t like the SDA and wouldn’t be joining. I said I will gladly discuss it all next time. Put your anti SDA info in this thread so I can let her know!

Waiting at the pizza shop for my order. They call out a bunch of names and nobody responds. Wondering what would happen if I answered to “Steve” and just walked out with his pizzas? Surely it has happened?

First job today, taking the pallets out for pickup by the delivery driver. Fun fact: new pallets (like the one on top) weigh a lot more than older ones. I guess because they still have a lot of moisture in the timber.

Two days into a six day work week and I’m already tired. Tomorrow I have a large delivery arriving, some 260 boxes of booze which I’ll need to manually wrangle about the place. I know I shouldn’t bitch about it, I have a job, and many don’t, but my life used to be a lot better than this.

According to a customer just now, Chardonnay gives you hangovers but Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t! How does one even respond to such a ridiculous statement?

The arena is empty, except for one man
Still driving and thriving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he’s driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom
he
still
burns.
