Different microwave

Today I was doing fine cold-wise and I was only cold. Until nonfoods decided to start taking pallets outside and they had the backdoor open a lot. Then I got super frozen.

I asked Zhaun about John's shift tomorrow and turns out he's doing night checker, not dairy. So I am working 11-7 tomorrow for a reason. That's fine I guess. Except that one of the vendors took yesterday off so I have to receive them tomorrow. Maybe I'll go in a little early tomorrow.

My ears have been doing the half-popped thing a lot in the last week and a half, I think it's probably the cold that's been doing it.

I did leave two things for Bonnie. First I left the Ingram returns. And I left a Loftus invoice that has unauthorized on it, I short paid it and now we need an invoice for the items that were unauthorized which are still unauthorized. Eh. She can sort it out.

Had the conference call again. They said we can't block the frozen vendors, that when the loads come in we can't block them off with pallets. Uhm.. as someone who offloads trucks I can say I know quite a bit about this issue. When you have 9 pallets of frozen and only enough room for 7 of them if I have to block the vendors then I'm blocking the vendors, sorry. It's either that or we have to throw away a pallet's worth of freight cause they didn't want the vendors blocked.
They were also trying to tell everyone how to go in and manually authorize product. I know how to do that. I've been doing it since last summer, so has Bonnie. They sent out instruction manuals on how to do it.

I went on break only to discover the microwave wasn't working. eek! So Nora let me use the big super-microwave she has back in service deli. That thing is huge. And nice. The regular microwave cooks my ramen in one minute and there's still some water left and crunchy bits. (which I don't mind) The service deli's microwave cooked my ramen in 45 seconds and made it all soft and fully cooked. Really hot too, though, so if I use that microwave again I'll do it for 40 seconds. Nora said I could use it all the time if I wanted to. I felt kinda weird using that huge microwave for something as small as my little container of ramen. And I don't really like entering the realm of service deli, so I think I'll stick to the regular one unless it's still broken tomorrow.

I'm wearing one of Victor's sweaters again. When I came home I was telling him how cold I was and I went, "Wanna feel my feet? Cause I can't!" I could but I thought it would be funny to say.

Something funny I said the other day was when I was brushing my teeth and I knocked something off the counter and I stuck out my foot to catch it and instead my foot hit the cabinet door (we leave open so the cats can come and go as they want, otherwise they sit there and claw it open themselves) and I said, "Well, that would have worked if that door hadn't been there." It was really funny at the time.
