Rain, Rain Go Away

I thought what a great work schedule this season! I will be off 10 days in a row. Wow! Ten days and I don't even have to ask off for any of it. And then....the skies darkened, the thunder and lightning followed by tornado sirens sounding every 10to 15 minutes. Am I am thinking hmmmmm.....well it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Support Team

It's important to find a support team. Members can be all ages and backgrounds. The focus is not on them being like you but rather supportive of you. Our spouses or significant others should be at the top of the list as well as our parents and siblings. Of course there is always one member of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Ten Rules I Wish They Had Taught Me In School

1. Forget what others think of you. You can't control them. You can only control your action or reaction to what is said. Consider the source. Your friends accept you and your enemies belittle and/or envy you. 2. Don't worry so much about everything being in its right place and clean all the time.... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Mother's Day

A tribute to my mother and all other moms out there. They love us unconditionally and completely from the moment they learn they are pregnant. They beg that we be saved and their life be sacrificed if a choice has to be made. They willingly wrap their arms around us and give us the love we need, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Day of BS...Does It Ever End?

The fans call it paradise to sit and watch the favorite team play ball. They have no idea of all the BS that goes on in the concession stands. They only know they want to be served quick and get quality hot food. My goal as a stand manager is to run the stand as efficiently as possible. Follow the... Sign in to see full entry.

Update on My New Team at the Ballpark

Imagine two weeks of raining every single day. Now imagine being at the ball park and managing 16 to 25 people with a warning of a tornado, thunderstorm, rain or any combination of the above. Now imagine upper management not calling the game and sending people home to be safe and warm. Well that has... Sign in to see full entry.

Who's Serving Those Dogs and Peanuts at the Ballpark

I wrote about my primary job at the stadium. I am a concession stand manager. I manage a stand that has 16 registers and is supposedly one of the key stand in the stadium. Some people think "Wow! What a great job! You get to watch the ballgame. In truth, no I do not. What is more I honestly don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Mardi Gras 1977

My friends in my writer's group and I were strolling down memory lane on Wednesday night. We discussed various trips around the USA and one in particular was Mardi Gras. We had all gone during different years. I was fortunate enough to have gone to New Orleans during the filming of Saturday Night... Sign in to see full entry.

Home Opener

Upper management has decided that we can finish after a game in 1.25 hours instead of 1.5 hours and have also shaved off time on set up. It is so hard especially if you are in a big stand and your co-manager doesn't come in to work that day. We arrived at our stand only to find out that Murphy's Law... Sign in to see full entry.

Working at the Ball Park #1

One of my jobs is working at the baseball stadium. Last Saturday we set up our concession stands. In their infinite wisdom they decided to move me once again to one of the largest stands in the stadium. I had asked 2 years ago to be moved to a smaller one because the work load was too hard for me.... Sign in to see full entry.
