Walmart here I come!

ya I could do 3 months.. my daughter is almost 18 now and going off to Florida for college next year. im single now, shes almost gone so I figure its time to do something for me. ya might as well get started may be the last job you have. that's my hope anyway 41 now figured id ride it out with walmart if I get the chance.

 

Thanks Matt. These are new details emerging. From what you say, it does not sound too bad. Better than a complete ban. I am sure this will be discussed at orientation next week.

 

I'm sure you got a tour of the office and saw your 'mailbox'. You'll get all the info you need in there, check it at every opportunity. I got a letter in mine last week 'inviting' me to a mandatory safety meeting coming up, the topic of which is the new upcoming cell-phone policy. Looks like there will be a complete ban on them, if the info from the recent 'grass-roots' meeting is accurate. I know some guys will be devastated by this, LOL, and it will suck, but I really don't use it much anyway right now, trying to focus on unfamiliar territory (along with a good dose of FAMILIARITY having been to many stores previously my first year with JB Hunt doing grocery out of 6096 Johnstown NY) and learning all I need to learn, so this, for us new guys anyway, should be an easier transition than it will be for the guys who've been used to yapping all day long on the phone. Times are changing, and it's their company, so if I wanna work there, I gotta do what they tell me.

 

I went with the white single-pocket, though I wish now I'd picked the double pocket ones, look a little more dressy, but too late now LOL. I'm happy though...or at least I WILL be if I ever get them! Can't understand what takes so long to put a name tag and some patches on a few shirts LOL. They come on Tuesdays so hopefully they'll be there when I go back tomorrow...here's to hoping!

 

I wish I would have picked more shorts. I don't know what I was thinking. LOL I think it was about 3 weeks to get mine, also.

The one hour of talk time, per 11hr drive time, is what I have heard. That is to be limited to 10 minute intervals, and does not count if you have to talk to the company (although I pretty much always do that when sitting still). If not driving, you can talk as much as you want. Not a big deal, really. I do talk to the wife periodically during the day, but she will keep track of it.

I have my class tomorrow. They will probably feed us.

Nice day at home. Am watching the Mecum car auctions right now, and have been working on the classic car. Son is off of school today, so we are doing the quality time thing. We are making Pork Carnitas. Yummm...................

 

They gave me ONE pair of pants and two jackets, which I won't need even up here for a while. Hoping my locker is full of uniforms when I go in tomorrow. And we don't get the option for shorts (we can wear them but they don't provide them), but we get 21 pants, 21 shirts and 2 jackets...at least that's what I'm SUPPOSED to have LOL.
