Saturday 👍

I have to work Saturday, and it’s Desmond’s birthday. I feel terrible.

The good news is Eddie said I could come in at 5, so I won’t miss the party. Desmond is having friends over this year because he’s turning 10. He’s very excited.

I’m excited for him.

David has to bring his mom in for knee surgery, and he works most Saturdays, so I really felt like I should at least try to contribute some time. I think because of him, I’m probably not going to have to work very many Saturdays.

I’m supposed to do more fork truck today. Maybe pick up some empty boxes.

I got this utility belt so I don’t have to keep wearing a dirty vest. I buy my own vests because the ones at work don’t have enough pockets for all my stuff.

I tried washing one of my pocketed vests. It did not go well. It did not come out any cleaner-looking, and it was all disheveled.

Anyway, the belt has one small pouch. I don’t know if everything will fit:

• Pens
• Marker
• Note paper
• Gloves
• Two tubes of chapstick
• Ear plugs
• Tugger permit

The gloves might take up the entire pouch.

James quit. You’d think this would be my ticket back to first shift, but, no. He was a temp employee, and I was a direct hire. It doesn’t translate.

It’s okay. I’ve just barely gotten my head wrapped around second shift. To have to suddenly go back again, it’s like, what are you doing to me?!

The new materials manager also quit. No notice. It sounds to me like she was overwhelmed.

Almost time to go.
