So, I've now been in my temp cubicle for a week...and honestly, I'm loving it. I am all the way in the back of the building, surrounded by cube walls. No one can even walk by. I have a window, and a HUGE work space. I wasn't going to "fix it up", but I think I might add a couple of touches...

I'm glad you like it.

Since I was there last, they've really cleaned and streamlined the store.
There were probably 10, well monitored self scan check outs.
They kept 20 regular registers, too.

Here is what happened today. We had our staff meeting this morning and the CEO came because the OR staff never gets a chance to attend the forums he has due to scheduling. Soooo, today was our charge nurse's last day. She like the other two are leaving for a variety of reasons, but mainly due to the dept head issues. Well, after CEO did his presentation the charge nurse asked the dept head and the manager to leave. Then she stood up and turned to the CEO and burst into tears. She told him a lot of what's going on and how everyone was feeling about our issues. By then EVERYONE (30 + people) were all crying. The tissue box was being passed around and he was standing there like a deer caught in headlights. Several people reinforced the concerns and that people are going to keep quitting if things don't get better. I am sure he didn't realize a lot of stuff but he handled it very well. I bet there will be some checking into what people were saying and maybe things will improve. We have lost so many people in the past year. It has to stop.

Wow! I sincerely hope you all see positive results soon. The CEO needed his eyes opened to the issues. I'm glad you all had a chance to voice your concerns.
Good luck getting results.

Sounds like everyone has had a great day, except for the sick kiddos. Sorry to hear that!
My day was so, so I guess. Had to work this afternoon. Got a call this morning from an apartment complex I've been scouting out for a couple of months. There is an opening for a 2-bedroom (I only need one) but this 2 is almost $75 less a month than what I'm paying now. However, heat is not included and in my current one it is. With paying for electric heat, it would work out to be about the same. If I could get a one bedroom, it would ultimately save me $100 / month. The best part is that it's more or less in a country setting, in the woods but it is a complex in a setting of single family homes, really nice single family homes! I got to speak with one of the tenants as she was leaving and she said she's been there 19 years and absolutely loves it. I would still be faced with not having a washer and dryer in the apartment and would have to still go outside to get to the laundry building but . . . the location of the complex is beautiful. The manager told me if I took the 2 bedroom, I could be inline for a one bedroom as soon as one became available. I could wait for a one bedroom but who knows when any will become vacant. *sigh* Decisions, decisions. Also, there are other job opportunities / possibilities there that aren't available where I'm at now (too far to travel for minimum wage).
I didn't actually get to view the two-bedroom yet. It's getting new carpeting, etc. It has a patio area too with sliding glass doors. He said he would call me probably Wednesday when he gets the keys back from the workers. I'll go view it when the time comes but I keep thinking I should wait for a one bedroom. Then again, I really don't want to be where I'm at and continue to smell the dog crap from the neighbors and whatever stench is permeating from the attic (I think there are critters up there and birds / bats pooping all around). I should just take the two-bedroom and be done with it until a one opens up. The thought of moving yet again from one to the other has me tired already. hahaha

Anyway, that's about how my day went.
You know, if it's the same amount of money as what you are paying now, I say take it.
You would be away from where you are now, and you may like having the extra room.
If and when a 1 br comes available, you can decide then if you want to move again.
Good news, it's summer, so you could save for winter heating costs.

That's what I was thinking, lily. The electric company here offers a budget plan as well. It would be a bit more than what an average summer month would be not being on it but it would amount to the same bill (although higher) every month for ten months. However, the thought of moving to a one-bedroom after just moving yet again to this current apartment has me exhausted. LOL I'm no spring chicken any more. But the savings would be awesome if I could get a one-bedroom.
I know I'd be happier there than where I currently am. Well, at least I think I would. hahaha
I've never had electric heat before but I remember friends from years and years ago saying the cost was high.

Yes, that's what I've done with other types of heats too. I just hope the cost doesn't get to be more than what I anticipate.
I don't like electric heat but you are talking about an apartment with other apartments above, below and next to you. So that could make a difference, for the extra space and new carpeting plus the balcony, i say go for it!
