getting in shape

Okay.
So, I'm beat to sh*t. My right arm cranks back and forth so many times during the day that my belt buckle somehow moves 90 degrees to the right. I mean, 'splain that to me. My shoulder feels like i am turning into Quasimodo, and this is only day 4!!!! My feet are killing me. My legs ache. I have to squint to read the labels of these meats, and the damn bags are impossible to Zip-lok close!!!!!
So little is labeled correctly, if it is labeled at all. We're so busy I don't take my breaks or lunch. My blood sugar plummets, and my girlfriend is telling me I have to tell my dept. mgr. that I am a diabetic!!!. Oh that'll go over wonderfully. I just keep hoping to find a way that I can osmose(new word) this protein into my system just by handling the beef, pork, fowl, and you don't want to know the other stuff. Anybody ever hear of "souse"??? Maybe, Jake, you know it. You're a foodie.
BUT. I love the people I work with. We're all having soooooooooooo much fun. We're throwing away sooooooooooo much food. And the take a number machine and number button changer keep breaking because it just can't keep up. Whole Foods was NOT like this. Everything there was so systematic. Only a few people in the dept. at a time. And we had just a few products in our cases. This place...... This place..... has more turkey types. ham types. salami types. "loaf" types. cheese types. than dialects in India!!!!!!!
And I love it when a customer(and this happens all day long) comes up to the counter and asks for 2 dollars worth of turkey. Or a 1/2 pound of ham. No description. No brand name. Just an amount and a flesh type. Yum, huh? And then there's the slice description. We either ask them, show them or are requested to do it a certain way. and God protect the employee that does not give that sample as a free piece right there and then. ooooooooooo.
Today I moved the take a number machine 15 feet to the left. It was right in the space where our little aisle to the dept. is, and everyone would just congregate there. If we were in a boat, we would be listing way too much starboard.
And just across the aisle......is this pristine......high end......wonderfully delicious...... and, oh, so proper ........cheeeeeeeeese dept. In the movie, this is where the star smiles and his teeth have a reflective, bright as the sun shine.
