Who could it be now?

To Whom it may concern,

Yes, so it’s your friend or your completely unknown stranger, Justin Marshall. I decided to start this little blog. I really never thought that I would create a blog, it sounds way to much like frog. I would like to try to explain that to my grandpa when he is just waking up.

The convo would go something like this.

Justin: “Hey grandpa I started a blog.”

Jerry (Grandpa): “You have a frog in the house? Oh God, get rid of that thing before it shits all over the place.”

Justin: “Ok. Yep a frog. Bye.”

Jerry: “Get me some more Ruby Red Squirt with some ice.”

Justin: “K.”

Anyway. I will be posting a lot of past stories that people have read will have to read again, or ignore.

I will also try to talk a little bit about my daily adventures.

Today.

I woke up around well, my mom texted me at 6:02 a.m. to tell me thanks for buying her a gift on yoville, which is a facebook application. Yes, seriously that happened. I tried to go back to sleep, but the dog came in and jumped directly onto my genitals. So I got up around 8:30. I watched the rest of the first season of Californication which happens to star David Duchovny, former star of X-Files, a childhood favorite of mine. Californication is a pretty great show, I recommend it.

Anyway, later that day I was to start my new job at Rite Aid, I didn’t really know what to expect. Having a teaching degree and having my real estate license and getting a job as a cashier at Rite Aid to try to get some dependably money coming in seemed like a pretty solid plan. Back to the point, like I was saying, I didn’t know what to expect, she had told me last week that I would mainly be filling out paperwork and doing things on the computer.

Anyway, after filling out the usual W-2, I-9, social security stuff, driver’s license information and so on and so on.

Then began the New Hire Orientation computer program. I thought I knew what to sort of expect with this as I had done a similar one for McDonald’s three years ago. It was similar, but it was very long. After it reminded me about not stealing from the company for about 25 minutes the program informed with enthusiastically what the RALLY CRY of Rite Aid is…. “WIN THEM OVER, BRING THEM BACK!” And after the two animated employees continued taking turns saying their war cry back and forth to each other they decided that I should join them. “Now you say it with us!” I sat there and I decided that I would internally join them. The manager walked in a little after they had gave up on me and I turned to the manager and said “Win them over, bring them back.” She said, that’s the old rally cry, now it’s “It’s my Rite Aid and I love it.” Or it’s something like that. Wow. Anyway, I continued to answer the questions like… OK new employee, take this scenario, the program then showed a video of a person that looked about 22 trying to buy some booze. The employee in the video asked for his I.D. the video then asked me.

Why did the employee ask for proof of age?

A.) Because he looked younger than 27 years old.

B.) Because the man is obviously over 50 years old.

This went on for almost 3 hours. I then left. And now I am here.

Talk to you tomorrow.
