Thank you to all who prayed for my motivation...it came in leaps and bounds today, until my disability acted up and I had to go home early.
Sick on Christmas Eve isn't fun, but I'm feeling a bit better, so I should be able to spend Christmas Day with my family, as planned.
That's awesome Rob! Hope you have a blessed Christmas my friend!
The other night, the machine that I use to bring in long rows of carts at my job died completely. It will not respond to anything or anyone. In fact, it took two people and myself with a pallet jack about ten minutes to move the dead machine back into the building.
Last night, I was scheduled for half of my shift alone. I work at a Wal-Mart Super Center, if that gives anyone an idea of how big a parking lot I have to cover. The guy who had just gotten off work before me is literally mentally retarded, and slower than all get out. He's a nice guy, but he just doesn't give a hoot about his job (apparently). Both cart tunnels were almost completely empty when I started my shift.
I began to work as hard and as fast I could to get as many carts as I could in, but they had me working during one of our peak times, when it is nearly impossible for three people with the cart machine to keep up. So, the call went out to the managers to ask for volunteers to help push carts.
After my shift ended, I got a "coaching session" (which is one step below a write up) about how I was not fulfilling the requirements of my job, and perhaps my company should reconsider my position with them.
I had a reasonably good day right up until that last fifteen minutes. Now I don't know what the future holds in terms of my job, if they're telling me I can't complete the job as requested.
That's totally unfair. You were doing the best you could. You've got my prayers. The other night, the machine that I use to bring in long rows of carts at my job died completely.

I told them the situation, but it didn't seem to make a dent.
That's horrible, Rob! It really makes me livid when I hear about companies/bosses that treat their employees like they are not even human! It seems like it only happens to the good ones too (I know from experience...). Praying for ya man! Hope they come to their senses and realize you're not Superman.

I trust they can't possibly fire you over something like this, or they'd have no employees.
If ya'll could pray for me that'd be great. Thanks.Hey everyone. I've had a sore throat for going on two days now. I think I'm getting a cold or something.
