i work at wal-mart
So, my official job title... somewhere along the lines of "gate keeper." Sounds like something from the "Lord of the Rings." I sit at the back door of this Wal-mart super center. My job is to make sure the sub-contractors get checked into our computer system as they come to work and checked out as they leave. When they hired me, the man said, "You need a hobby. Do you knit?" He was right. I bought crayons and am almost done with a Chelsea Handler book. I do not often have access to the internet, but there are other things to do. I get to type up the boys' notes from their meetings. And often, I chat with the wal-mart associates. (That is the correct term.) Wal-mart has a policy that wherever there is an open door, there must be an associate. These people are there to make sure the contractors (and me) do not steal anything. They check receipts if we buy anything.. stuff like that. My favorite two associates are Carla and Kel. Even though my job is pretty simple, I sometimes get jealous of the wal-mart associates. They get breaks and lunches. And even a walkie talkie...
