Anyhow First Vblog couldn’t think what to type out so I done a video instead.

It’s pretty much set me off to be a very buzzed and happy guy and drinking more and dancing alone like a crazy cave man lol.  I been sending out some messages to some people for been great and awesome blogger to thanks for been a friend over the years.

Anyhow I have today off like everyone else. Though I am pretty much lucky I am not CSMing for black Friday as I just going to be a cashier !!! Though I be pleased to have xmas done and over with but the Job is sure is demanding. I kinda enjoying it but thing is I trying hard to play as well as I working a lot harder.  I just wish I could afford the gas to go to the barn instead than a few drinks and dancing like a sad little man lol.

I kinda happy when I am CSM this time of the year though because I think it’s speeds up to try and remember what rules and laws I have to follow. Any time the year I think It be a slow learning curve.  I seem to be in the management good books but then again I do 110% and try and go by the book much as I can.

Anyhow off to have a few more drinks

What else I have been impressed with is the Services that Google provides like Gmail improvements and Google + and other controls that seem to be simple to use. I have stopped using all other emails now and only using Gmail as I think the Junk filter is awesome as well.

Blogs well I have 2 public and one private blogs sites. Blogger and wordpress.net is what I like the most. I do like Blogger a lot tho bout I need to get use to the interface and see what I can out of it really. easy to link my pictures to my blog with out question but Livejournal I no longer post pics with my windows live writer.

None Google topic

Work been getting heavy and well also been times it’s been light but I feel that I am banging out more hours and I am seen a better pay check because of it. Though I am starting to want to play a lot more than before as in I want to hang out and socialize with people. I mean I been hanging out with Kazia who now left Walmart for a better job/career and she a blast to chill out with.

I am hoping to have a few other from work to come and hang out at the moose as well. Yes I know I am CSM and I will not get close to people at work as it can set a bad environment so to speak.

Anyhow I pretty much keeping this short because I kinda drunk tonight..

I dressed up in a kilt after my lunch. I didn’t know people were going to dress up at first but wish I taken my camera to work tho.

CSM work I like but now I feel I am having issues with people. Some cashier been use to not do this or that and now I can see some people giving me weird looks when I give them jobs to do. I think it’s time for me to take 2 steps back and look what’s going on as well. I mean I will not be as upfront and friendly as I was as a cashier. Some Cashier also rubbing me up the wrong way and dismissing me because I am new to the job…. Not even leaving me to find the information and making pretty look dumb in front of the customers.

Here the thing I starting to enforce.

• Redlining – No Customers then you stand in front of your register to pick up customer. Need to let people know your free to check them out.
• Reshops – I hated this as cashier but when you have a load of reshops you take them with you and get rid of them before your lunch, Break or leaving work.
• Stay at your post – When your in a middle of a transaction and you have a question you do not leave the register and find out the info. CSM will come and help if not they go someone above to ask not the cashier.
• Walmart shopping bags…. Someone trashing them or hiding them this getting annoying for people on nights doing chorse.

I have unfriended some people from work because well I taking a step back. I made friend with someone at work who she leaving after Friday anyway. I am ok with some people but I am stepping on people toes and they are trying to make me in what they want…. Which not going to happen period. 

Other than that I feel like I have this large amount of pressure to perform and my lack of experience in this field is going to be a hard one for sure. Though all I can do is do my best to learn. I mean I come home and I think about work and what I could of done better at and trying to remember something new too. Management not been on my case yet come pared to other CSM but I am waiting. With xmas coming up this going to be even more challenging…..

Anyway Not a lot going on really.

I have already brought this to management that there are general complaints about the CSM in question but same time getting advise how to deal with the Cashiers to deal with this whole larger issue.

Now I have a real CSM schedule coming up 2moro and at the same time I am nervous and looking forward to it. I have been managed to learn a few thing on the customer service desk a bit more but still have a long way to go. So it looks like I have to learn as I go to. For the next two weeks I am working with other CSM. So I think I have time to learn and get questions in on different scenarios.

Also back at home we have our Wood stove installed and been fired up. Man It has made a different in how much wood the stove uses. I mean compared to the old stove it uses 1/3 of the wood I think. So I am guessing I am saving $200 on wood this year a long. Also in the pic you can see their a Pipe going to it as well. Well the pipe use to go by to the dryer to the back. To me that was a silly place to put it behind a Wood stove. So Kate dad has made another vent else where so we can use this vent for the wood stove to suck in fresh air.

I have to show Kate how I start the stove up but with this one it will take me about 25mins to leave it alone. Reason is even though I get the fire going I have to have the door cracked open a little so It will warm up the stove. Other wise it will not burn and just puts it out. Soon it warm and the wood alone is burning then I close the door for 5 mins then lower the vent setting to low.

Real Test is when Winter is at it’s worst and see how much heat I can get out of this but Long we close the dog door and making sure the garage is not freezing cold we should be fine.

——————————————-

Chris is doing great too. He is walking and is is sooo much aware what’s going on too. We are now teaching him NO! which means NO…. Funny part is he throws a fit So I hope we can put that to bed some point. Man I love that little guy so much…….

I had to deal with a few unhappy people and angry one too but didn’t bother me. I just stated the rules and Wal-Mart Policy’s and local laws and sent them on there way. I think I have roughed some people feather too with the cashiers but they have to keep in mind I am a CSM and I will do my job. Though I only have a few who I would call friends in a way. Though same time I watch what’s going on and now I am in the position I going to keep my self distant (SP?) a little until people got the idea I am now CSM.

Thing is though I think young cashier take it personal when I tell them they need to do something and get grumpy but older you are you know it’s just work and know the difference. I will pick my job over friendship tho. Same in the Army your job comes first and most of all my Pay check. Saying that I do not get power trippy as I just make sure jobs are done right. I give them instruction to do the job and some robe if they do not do them.

Anyhow I seen the schedule and I was like wow… They know I like working nights and closing because it helps me be awake. Well they have me starting as CSM position with 9:30am…. I thought crap this going to be rouge as so freaking early. So Kate has to take some slack for me to be awake. I hate coming to work tired when I have to deal with Money… I end up making mistakes…

Though from Friday on wards I hope it stays to closing. Saying that I hearing two CSM thinking of transfer/ Quitting so that means more positions are going to be open too. Before Xmas this would be interesting and hard going. Though I almost getting 40 as you see in this week. Instead of 32 hours.

I just got to remember laws/ Wal-Mart Returns and money grams and all this before my CSM shift to start. I know I going to make mistakes but what I keep hearing is Management not good to deal with as CSM. I not sure the shit really getting on everyone nervous. Though I had to deal with arrogant pig headed officer in the troop in the last year. IF they give me crap and speak to me like I am below them they will get a warning shot from me to speak to me with respect and with professional manner. My Goal as CSM is to reach 6 months in this position for more doors to open. That’s just long they do not annoy me so much I will step down and back to cashier again. I see how this will turn out in the next month but my mission is to learn so much as possible before the xmas shopping starts….

OH and last thing Wal-Mart doing a lay away too. Just incase you guys like to know this.

Well I have a feeling LJ going to die. I use Windows Live Writer and it works great but now LJ will not let me post pics or video’s some reason…..

SO here one of two other public blog sites…

Oh and I am working on my word press layout.

Which she is also known to have a lot of luck with in the Guild Templar Knights. I must say I could of got the first one but I said to Kate I think you should have it because going to piss people off. I like Trolling people in RL and in games and my trolling sure worked here lmao.

Also I have been working on my Priest Human and I really in love with it. Healing is epic so is DPS. Though I think the Healing is a little over powered in holy.

So I made my self a mount – Fly Carpet. I been working on my tailoring and enchants as I level. So I haven’t leveled quick but now I am level 70 I going to work on my guild rep by doing a lot of questing.

Now my Guild I have (Honored By Death) is level 1 and it was used for a bank guild. Now I want to level it upto 6 and I am getting northwesten my pally 80 moved over. Northwesten is locked at 80 because I want to do all Lich King stuff. Sjar (hunter) going to move over who is locked at 60. I want to go every thing possible at 60 then move up to 70  

Anyhow I going to recruit a laid back guild and try and get people from work over to my server. Sentinels (RP server) 

So we have the update of fb and it didn’t go down well. It sure didn’t go down well for me too. As in I have to go though every single person and change the feed update. Sadly I can not find the master setting for this and pissed me off to no end.

So I went and tried to get many people on Google+ much as possible because I love the site. It’s basic and not complexes and just simple interface compared to Facebook. I have managed to get a few on but problem is it’s lacking people. So far everyone likes the site but they wish their friends are on it.

Anyhow I going to work on Facebook but I really want to get off it. Why don’t you then? Well I keep in touch with friends and yes all 1000000 of them. Some are youtubers to blogers as well but also people I work with and served with too. I do not add people if I don’t think I have some chat with them. Tho I wish Facebook get rid of this message crap so i can send email kind of message to my friends.

Anyhow I also think Facebook going off it’s base and going to the direction of MySpace. Which is full of crap and full of crap? Google I know they will keep it light and simple which Google tends to go. Which I also think it’s helpful with not so tech savy people. Mm looking at my blog here I sure doing some complaining about it. I mean fb done well to where they have gone but I seen the direction they heading I do not like.

Anyhow if you interested to get an invite and give Google plus a try.

Since. I have been fired at Maine machine I have lost all active riding or horse care. Now I am very focused on Walmart to build a career with. I feel horses needs to be put to rest. I have been trying again and again to get some spare money for fuel just to go to the barn. Also I think Sarah has someone else to do the chores but no biggy as someone more likely to know the horses than me.

In some way I think it’s a good thing because I get up at 12 noon. Then work evening and closing shift and with that there are csm position open I can just work towards that. I have only been here 3 months and I have past the assessment test and I told zone manager I want to be csm. Of course there going to take a while as I have to learn a lot of rules and well a lot of crap at customer service desk…. I am on the mission to get this done before we get busy as I can get use to the system and work on my own.

I do like working here and people here I think are great and so far I have earned  respect from a lot of people of who I am and management noticed I am a little moral booster. I have a lot to prove to show I can do this job. I don’t think I get promoted for at least 3 months but who knows. Also you get 90 cents increase a well and too me that’s a big deal.

Well I have a Recall letter from ford about the Straps that hold the Fuel Tank. I am going to try and get this done soon as. It will be free for me so I going to try and get this done. So If you have a F150 and have a Ford that’s made since 2000. I would go and check the website and see does your car/truck need work on too.

Saying that I wish I have the Money right now to send at least $600 on it because it needs some maintainance work on it. My shocks seem to of had it now and I can feel every bump in the road. My roads where I live are bad for shocks because they are so Fed up.

UPS is accepting applications for full-time Package Delivery Drivers. This is a physical, fast-paced, outdoor position that involves continual lifting, lowering and carrying packages that typically weigh 25 – 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. A DOT physical exam is required. Package Delivery Drivers must have excellent customer contact and driving skills, including the ability to operate a vehicle equipped with astandard (manual) transmission. Qualified applicants must have a valid driver’s license issued in the state that they live.Package Delivery Drivers are expected to comply with UPS appearance guidelines and wear the company-provided uniform.
Full-time UPS employees work eight or more hours each weekday (Monday through Friday) and typically do not work on weekends or selected holidays.

So I thought GREAT this is a step up from working under $8 an hour at Wal-mart and do something I like doing which is Driving. Problem is I went though the application and filled it in and I have ended up finding out it’s for November only…  So some muppet forgot to put in this add Temporary or seasoned.

I almost went though the whole going to the UP depo again just to find out it’s not really a full time. Though Only way to work for UPS really is do the seasoned work but I can’t quit my job just not to get hired :/

*sad face*

Anyhow No horses and I pretty much given up on that. So my full time thing is WoW and work lol oh and looking after my son too. I just don’t have the time nor have the energy to get up in the early hours now.
