Team meeting
Dec 15, 2011

We had a team meeting tonight, with icecreams, and got our chrissy pressie. 2 thick bamboo cutting boards and a $30 voucher. I have been scouting stuffs to buy for the last week or so.

I bought a bamboo cylinder with 7 bamboo utensils,2 spoons, egg flip, tongs etc, and a small led torch..... that is telescopic and bendy, and magnetichead, perfect for picking up dropped screws and bits, Still got $10 left on the card.

<big grin>

We also got told we are the top team in the country for clearing our yard every night. The night before last (14th) we had a record 201 pallets in, 28 went into topstock (put above the selling shelves as a complete pallet, we are a warehouse afterall ), 14 were promotional stock, and where dealt with, and the rest, a crew of 12 put away...we only had 7 pallets left in the yard, I managed to do 8 fiddly ones, all cleaning products...

And on that note, I was also told last week, our store has moved, in the last 6 months from 5th in the country, selling cleaning stuff, to 3rd and as of last week to 2nd! However we have a long way to go to beat the number 1 store........ which is the biggest in the country, about 6 times as large as us.

Sometimes, I really love my job.

This is one of those times

Sumo! Day the Last
Nov 30, 2011

Sumo Salad that is,

As it is now finally summer again, I will be eating salad, as much as it pains my carnivorous heart to say, as I believe salad is what food eats!

Anyhoo, moving right along and back to the topic at hand, Sumo Salad is a salad based fast food place, and I have taken a liking to several of their salads, so in summer I either buy from them for lunch or make my own version.

One I particularly like, is their 'Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad', where I substitute the croutons for either marinated mushrooms, or corn depending on my mood.

I like watching them make the salad fresh and I also get every 10th salad free.

They also do a range of ready made rolls and wraps, yoghurt's and fruit salads,. They look so loverly, and if I wasn't gluten intolerant, I think I could eat here all the time.

All in all a rather nice and different fast food, and one I actually look forward to in Summer.

And that is me done for the month.

I hope my readers have enjoyed the little look into my daily life.

I have enjoyed doing this, an mayhap i will attempt to do perhaps a weekly journal or something

Mundane! Day the Thirtieth
Nov 29, 2011

Today was just that, there was nothing odd or unusual, no odd customers, just plenty of nice ones, which is always a bonus.

I mostly put away paint tonight, and covered C's break, as the co-ordinators rostering skills leave much to be desired.

A nice couple came by, I made several sample pots of colours for them. The tint machine decided to play up, so I had to remake them manually. Something I didn't mind doing, but it can get finicky, with the very small amounts of tint involved.

That was the highlight of my day.

Tonight for dinner I was a bit naughty, and had bacon and eggs, and a little bit of steak. I am going on holiday Thursday, so I didn't do my usual weeks work of cooking, so I am cooking on the fly.
