Reply to WDemBlk from yesterday’s comments on my 15-year anniversary at Walmart – no, they don’t celebrate our anniversaries, but for every 5 years, you get a framed certificate, a pin saying how many years you’ve been there and a new badge saying how many years you’ve been there. since I didn’t work on my anniversary, I have not been presented with my 15-year pin, certificate and badge yet, but maybe I’ll get it tonight (though sometimes they seem to forget to give them to us in a timely manner). They’re supposed to give those things to you at a meeting so others can congratulate you, but they don’t often have evening meetings and I’m not there for morning meetings. I saw my stuff in the personnel office a couple days ago, though. One thing that is disappointing though, is the fact we used to get an extra 40 hours of paid time off (PTO) – or however many hours your usual work week is- but they reconfigured all of that last year and now I won’t get the extra 40 hours until next year. I’m real bummed out about that. I’ve been looking forward to those extra 40 hours ever since my 10-year anniversary (they added PTO hours then, too).
Tolkien Reading Day. With so many people not allowed to go to work, this would be a good chance to do some reading. I have never read anything by Tolkien myself, though.
Wisconsin has joined the few other states that have a “shelter in place” order and all non-essential businesses have been ordered to close. We sell grocery and pharmacy items at Walmart (as well as paper & cleaning products) so we qualify as “essential needs”. They have some letter in the personnel office which they want us all to take to show police if we get pulled over and asked where we’re going. The letter indicates that we are Walmart associates so we can be out. But I heard on the news tonight that police won’t be pulling people over to ask where they’re going. I sure hope they won’t! I don’t need that kind of hassle. I wonder if I’ll see a lot less traffic going to work & home again now.
I actually like having the store close at 8:30 while I work until 10:00 or 11:00, because then I can work without having customers coughing around me. The atmosphere is much more relaxed after the customers leave. And we keep one register and the 4 self-checkouts open right up until 11:00 so associates can shop.
After Gent said that he thought that Night Gaunt has disappeared (on BCN), I looked into it.
I think that Night Gaunt has been banned.
I called N-G yesterday to explain why he did not see Likes to his Alley Oop fan fic story bits. He has sent his appeal to the Phantom Zone disbursement department.
The local Kroger’s stores are opening from 7 to 8am just for senior citizens. The one I went to had a manager at the door turning away younger people. They had paper towels and toilet paper but I didn’t need either. They didn’t have hand sanitizer or Clorox Cleanup but I didn’t expect to find either.

Today’s comic is a work of art! The World could always use more cat sculptures . On another note, saw a spotted towhee, a finch, some juncos, and some robins while out walking today.

LROS: I’d fight you for those cherries but you’d probably win. I have a feeling you’re feistier than I am.
NoreenKlose: I don’t mind stewed tomatoes in soups, but to just eat some on a plate? Nope.

Um, Oliver……if it does make him make, he’ll be needing some of that elusive toilet paper.
