Another post...

I am SO hoping everyone enjoys ice cream, because as a customer support analyst (yes, I'm actually an analyst, not an associate), I did not realize how much work goes in to supplying retail stores with products. Ice cream, as you probably know, is a seasonal business for some. People can eat it in the spring/summer, but not so much in the fall and less in the winter. And, as I've heard before, T'is the season. We are introducing new items to Wal-Mart which are shipping this week, we have a large promotion going in over the next couple of weeks, and we have to make sure all of these orders are proper, completely shipped, and work with 8 warehouses to make sure all 43 DCs are stocked to supply over 3,600 Wal-Mart stores. It's friggin' NUTS! But I'm learning alot, and there is still alot more to learn.

Tonight on FB, I posted my list of "5 most hated sports teams". Being from NY, you would think these teams would play their home games outside of the Empire State. Not on my list. The only 2 New York teams I root for are the NY Islanders (NHL) and the Buffalo Bills (NFL - and the only TRUE New York team). Well, this list (so far) is not sitting well with my cousin and an old friend who I have enjoyed reconnecting with the past few weeks. I can't help who I like and dislike in the world of sporting events. But, they appear to hate ME now.

I've posted in the past that I do not care what people think of me. Love me for who I am or don't. It doesn't really matter to me. Until tonight. Their comments got to me. Damned if I know why. Oh well, like a kidney stone, this too shall pass. I just don't know how long it will take.
