Life in the checkout lane..Surely make you lose your mind...

Well, I'm back working at the store I started out at 22+ years ago..Fry's #28 located at 43rd Ave and Bell road. I have to say that I had a lot of mixed emotions about returning to the Kroger Corporation after having spent half my life there. I mean they do treat me pretty well there..but there's no consistency..and the hours always fluctuate. Yes, I am blessed to have a job. I know that many people are unemployed. In fact some of those people are my friends...even so, it can still be very frustrating sometimes. I still think about the year I spent away from retail. I wish I could make the money I did while I was up in Morenci. It was more than I had ever made at Fry's..with or without me working a second job. Sometimes you have to see the different sides of life to appreciate what really matters. I guess I just want to make a lot of money without losing myself or my family in the process. I will work my ass off if I know there's something to be gained in the end. I saw that first hand at Freeport-McMoran. If you work safely and efficiently in a productive manner, you make a lot of money...For all I know I may be on a picket line before this year is out because that isn't the way my current employer thinks. The real kick in the ass is that Fry's has a union and Freeport-McMoran does not. That by itself could be a discussion all on it's own, but that will be left for another time. At least..for the time being I am employed..and blessed...right?
