As I’ve aged to 62 and made many stupid choices in life., the truth that God is my source has magnified. He will never leave me or forsake me. ❤️🎄❤️People are fallible and desperate but those who wait upon the Lord shall 🌷renew their strength they shall walk and not be weary ☕️is true. Don’t put your trust in the strength of humankind. Let Jesus be my strength He wants us to follow Him He will never get behind us and herd us., He is the Good Shepherd who leads and goes before 🌷✝️🌷

Dressed like church - heels, pantyhose, and suits while slogging around heavy bags and boxes of coins. Have a smile in your voice when you answer a phone. Work fast and accurately, but be sunny and friendly. Over 15 years. Then after the divorce, back to school and doing social work....still friendly, kind and helping people.

[@craftyhikernoel6370]

It's super hard to do a face to face customer service job already, but when you can't see over half their face, it adds a serious disconnection to people it seems!

[@kevio6868]

OMG you are so right

[@sewgatormomm]

Why? I’m a nurse. I’ve been doing it for decades. Seeing people be respectful to each other by wearing masks in public now is reassuring. It’s the idiots without them that make me sick-and unfortunately, they’ll make others sick.

[@larse9999]

I really don't get the rebellion and the psychological issues with mask wearing. Is it because people feel uncomfortable with change and the fact that there actually is a health crisis and things aren't "normal" right now and not within their control? You don't loose your God given face cause you need to cover it to prevent spreading germs. Maybe its because peoples social circle is so small? I don't know, but I find it puzzling. Instead of focusing on the masks, I focus on peoples eyes.... They are the windows. I look for smiling eyes, or eyes that are sharing a personal story. One can still be social and kind and uplifting with a mask and behind plexiglass.

[@nanakarrots4325]

[@2busysecretary]

I feel so bad for employees that have to wear a mask all day... I could not do it for sure. I can barely get through an hour of shopping and I'm tearing the mask off in the parking lot. I feel for you Linda, thank Jesus you are almost done with that position. Willie is singing "Back on the road again..."

[@Rain3Silver]

Yes, that would be tough to have to wear a mask all day. The mask suffocates me after while, I need to breathe! I know it does get tiring having to see people in masks everyday. I think it is way over the top and very controlling. It is much nicer to be able to see a person's full face to see their expressions. Because just seeing a person eyes doesn't always portray themselves correctly. At least if we are outside and can stay six feet apart than we don't have to wear a mask.

[@carollawrence464]

Yes I have worked retail worked at Walmart as stocker for lingerie and accessories! The holidays were very stressful having to leave my work to go work at checkout!

I love what you are wearing. So pretty...I have been praying for your journey today. God keep you and your vehicle safe...My opinion on the seats. Take them out and store them, hopefully in a friends garage. The possibility that someone would buy your vehicle without them is very remote. So it 's very unwise to get rid of them in my opinion.

I am thankful they did not closed down, as that is where i order and do a pick up for my food. If they had I would have to went into grocery stores and I am a cancer survivor and I have blood pressure issues and I have stayed home. In fact my son in law does my food pick up for me. So yes I am sure many has been blessed to have Walmarts.

I have hearing loss in one ear and it’s so hard for me to hear any retail personnel wearing masks. I can’t tell if they’re saying “paper or plastic?” “Did you find everything you need?” Etc. I just smile and nod. I can only imagine what it’s like on your end. Thanks for sharing that perspective.

So much respect for you and your fortitude. I have no doubt you'll soon have your "landing place" and you deserve it, Linda. I think you said something about traveling to California. Not sure when you plan on doing that but please hold off. We have got some horrible wildfires going again this year. Where I live, my sky is orange and the ash is falling all around me. So many homes lost again and one death (so far). It's bad enough on its own but during a pandemic where people are encouraged to stay at home as much as they can, where do those people go now when their home is a pile of ash? It's just horrible, Linda. I want to see you safe and not having to breathe the terrible air right now. Please take care. You are such an inspiration and a wonderful example of how strong women get through this challenging life. Love your idea of watermelon for dinner. I had a low carb root beer float! Yum! LOL God bless you and keep you safe. ♥

Like your choice of vehicle. I had my eye on a highlander hybrid , but am shy about getting another hybrid. If I was going to be rubber tramping I would get a hybrid because of the power advantage. But I own my home Free and clear. Known for being a great vehicle you can trust for a long time. A job is a blessing to have AC. Pay attention to where the shade is when you leave work try to park in those locations. If I worked in Walmart I would see if I could freeze bottles of water. That much work once into retirement is a lot of getting used to. Watch mom the ebayer she makes good money doing her side hustle.

My favorite retailer! I’m glad you had such a good experience and shared details of hazard pay, OT etc as Walmart often takes a beating. I’m working a seasonal retail job on Nantucket. They asked me to take on an extra day (from 4 days i did last summer to 5) and then extra 2 hrs a day when a co-worker went out on maternity leave. Now, they asked me to stay until Thanksgiving (which suits me bc Florida is normally where I’d go and I’d prefer to stay here.) It’s a been great experience and I am using my summer money for some needed orthodontics and travel money to see my kids. The mask wearing is a pain, but it is what is.
