I'm wondering if grocery stores are using produce as loss leaders nowadays. Some of the ones near me have pre-pandemic pricing on produce while everything else is rising.
Back stock vs front stock, usually. Just like cocaine, everyone is tied to the re-up. From storefront, to distributor, to vendor, to producer, it all depends where you're at in the supply chain. In wholesale, they're usually a maximum of two weeks apart.
I have finally packed for my work trip to North Carolina. Huge pain to transfer all my tools to a shippable toolbox, but weekend overtime is just extra cash on hand. I'm pretty excited, though I know I have some difficult calls when I get there. Going to be a busy week. I fly out at 6am tomorrow.
Getting ready to head to my house in NH tomorrow. Week off for me. Anyone who calls me gets fired. Unless something really important/tragic happens. Then they get fired if they don't call me. I live for these little games.
Aren't you the same guy who can't find enough people to fill all the positions that need to be filled?
Workers, yes, but I've stockpiled managers and have their backups trained and ready to go. Layers... like nachos!
I worked for fifteen years while taking the occasional community college class, then went full time to university from age 35-38. You will not be that out of place. There were several people in my program my age, give or take. Some of the younger ones will actually look up to you for your life's wisdom. Others will not.
I decided to have a look at what Steam had in way of VR-supported driving games. They had Dirt Rally 2 for £4.94 so I thought what the hell and bought it... 109GB... estimated download time, 5 hrs !!!
Best five-quid I ever spent! I think it’s quite an old game now, which probably explains its price, but in VR it’s still quite uncanny!
Watching a live stream from Big Jet TV. It’s a guy in a field, filming all the windy landings at Heathrow. Everyone’s waiting for a crash, but no one dare say so.
I am contemplating another day in the museum. I like my museum and am happy to work there, but I don't like the process of getting ready to go to work. If I could spring fully armored from bed every morning it would make it considerably easier to cope with the world before 10:00 a.m.
I’m sitting at work. All of my end o’ the week paperwork is done, my purchase orders are in, and all my daily cleaning chores are done. So I’m basically doing nothing. I’ve been here for three hours; seven more to go.
I envy your paperwork and purchase order completion as I sit at my desk and pore over 567 invoices from month-end January. That is an exact number according to quickbooks. More than half of them (3 of 6 restaurants) were coded on the front end by me, so those don't need to deep a review. But the rest of my knuckleheads? Serenity now!
Hoping I'm not catching my daughter's cold. It's my first free weekend in months, and I don't want to spend it with a box of tissues and a bottle of Dayquil. Also, my writers group meets on Monday, I've only been able to go once in the last several months, and I can't go if I get sick. Whine. Grouse. Whimper.
I’m dad-sitting this weekend while my sister and her fella are taking a break, as he’s not great on his legs nowadays (which is why he lives here). I packed a bag with my new collection of WCW poetry, and my new Moleskine Expanded notebook as I except to be quite bored while he’s watching shitty soap operas all night, and hoped said boredom would encourage some reading / writing... and then I realise when I’m two minutes from arriving that I left said bag on my kitchen table! I can of course do all the above at home, but I won’t because there are too many distractions there.
I'm currently studying up for the law school acceptance test. Finally making the jump over to the legal side that I've been thinking of doing for many years. I'm sure I'll pass this test, but going to law school while doing my current job is going to be a stretch. Did two English degrees while working, but this one is a bit different. We shall see.
Pulling all Stoli products from my bars. It might not be made in Russia, but it's partially owned by Russians and says "Russian Vodka" on the label. Mixing politics and business is one thing; war is something else. Not sure what I'm going to do with 50-some bottles of mixed Stoli flavors, though. Probably bury it into batches where I can. It's not that expensive comparatively. Standing up for what's right is one thing; going broke over it is something else.
