This company will never not make me laugh. Of course our final fight call ended in a dog pile! What a joy to have worked with them over the last few months!
There's a new contender for my least favourite returned item to handle at work.
Not the top spot for the least favourite, that one still goes for the overalls with the fleece lining that always seem to come back covered by pet hair and dandruff *on the inside* which take me approximately 20minutes each to brush clean.
No. But there's a new contender for the second place.
So there's this simple, black casual dress, that on its own isn't too bad. Not like some other fashion line items that seem to be designed to be as hard to fold neatly into a bag, this dress isn't even near the hardest to handle.
However, two times out if three, whenever this particular dress gets returned, it comes back with its neckline covered in makeup. That I then have to spend forever trying to wipe and brush clean. (Sometimes not even managing that and being forced to send the item to second-rate box to go through that whole process.)
Can you maybe, please, when trying on clothing items (be it at a store or at home for web orders), think of the poor warehouse workers who have to clean up after you? Do me a solid and keep the items clean, will you?
Working in a warehouse and the heat in the entire building is cranked up & the landlord won't turn it down & we can't turn it down either & even just sitting down drinking water I feel dizzy🥴
Warehouse of Detroit Bronze Company. Long two-story brick building on left, with "Detroit Bronze Co." printed on side; low wooden building in front, surrounded by wooden fence. Handwritten on back: "Fort St. W. between 19th & 20th, 1881."

As advised due to smoke, been inside all day save going to take the dog out (with a mask). 😷 The breeze off the lake is helping blow the smoke off at least, and it's way better here than my old town in PA. According to my friends back there, the air's not only way worse, choked with smoke, than here, it was also for a time today the worst in the country before NYC spiked up again. That place being that high isn't entirely a surprise. It's in a valley where the air just sits in a bowl, and on top of that, they've bulldozed forests and fields to build about a million truck warehouses there in the past ten years, tanking the air quality. It was one reason I left - I literally couldn't breathe for the heat and pollution the last summer I was there. But when you add the smoke from the fires?
Well. I'm especially glad I'm not back there today. I'm not sure my lungs could have handled that.
Today's pic of the sun back there from one of my friends.
fellow autistic bitches with really low social batteries who also do best in highly structured environments... what the fuck do you all do for work lol i've hit a wall. there's a lot of things i don't like about being in retail again, but it has helped me realize that having a structured job where i have tasks that are non-social (stocking, cleaning, etc) is way better for my brain. but all my other experience is in admin and customer service and i hate it. also i can't fuckin drive and i'm not very physically strong or anything and i like having a set schedule. Help
Like many people caught by surprise, I played a bunch of Lethal Company with friends last Fall. When thinking about something to draw for it, it made sense to combine it with my own sci-fi characters. In this case, Nash and the others are forced to take in service work during a GUD slump.
