New Kid on the Block.  Well, not the block but the corner of Westown and 22nd.  Not the corner as in hooker corner, but corner as in Walgreen's new marketing campaign.  You've heard it, with the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding saying something clever about Walgreens at the corner of something or other. 
Anyway, I started working at a new location today.  I will be doing the same job with the same zest that I had at the former location.  Maybe even more zest, which by the way, is sold in eight pack bars in the back aisle, straight down aisle one.  The old location and I had to part ways eventually.  I wasn't going to work five miles from home when the opportunity to work point eight miles from home came open.  I didn't expect to leave so soon, but when opportunity knocks I like to fling open the door and say (like the Mormons) HELLO!
I have known several of the employees for many years.  I am hoping that they spread the word that I was very nice.  I do know that the word was spread that I like things done a certain way.  The right way.  My way.  In this way, I am not open to suggestion.  At the old store, an employee wanted to do things like they were done at her old store.  I don't do that.  Frank Sinatra was on to something and I tend to agree with his chart topping philosophy. 
The manager and I go way back.  When he was first hired, I trained him on the in's and out's of my former job.  He knows my strengths and I hope, my weaknesses.  He also knows that I don't tend to have a lot of tolerance for idiots and assholes.  I need a manager that will back the direction I want the department to move in.  I hope he understands the pain in the ass he has taken on by taking me in!
