A Singing Wal Mart Greeter?
Do you have that ONE person at work that makes your day every day. Sometimes? Once in a while? You know the one. The cheerful one that always has positive things to say at just the right time? Or if you're in a shitty mood he'll say something that makes you smile whether it's something funny, or just something so dumb and random you just have to laugh.. or at LEAST crack a smile. Anyways, I got one. And he's moving to Oregon to live closer to his dad. He's worked at our job place for 23 years. Yeah, 23 YEARS. (although don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that's how long he's been there) I've only been there for 8. Anyways, he loves old country like me and has his radio tuned in to the country station all day. And he sings. EVERY.SONG. You'd think it'd be annoying but he really has a great voice and I love to listen to him. Anyways, it finally hit me today that he's leaving and so I yelled across the shop, "(INSERT NAME HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE) OMG Who's gonna sing to me when you're gone? I'm so sad!" He said, "I prolly annoy you hu? I feel sorry for my new employers. They have nooooo idea. I'm prolly gonna bug the hell out them! hahahahah" Another co-worker said, "He's always singing, hu? Hey you'd know what would be funny? If he got a job at Wal Mart as a greeter and he greeted everyone with a song. How cool would that be? Then we'd turn on the news some day and they'd be doing a story on the Singing Wal Mart Greeter." That's actually NOT a bad idea! But I wonder if he'd get paid extra? 4 comments from 3 users

That was a nice story Twinkie. Their is nothing like going to work knowing you have a very cheerful co-worker. I have one myself and she is great. We work as a team no matter what. We are both dispatchers so working with nothing but men we get to laugh all day and listen to them rag on each other just like women do only they are better. Sorry for your loss but I a sure you another singer will come along. Good luck in your next hire. posted by

Hey Twinkie, not to worry, I'll pull out my old guitar from under the bed and sing to ya but all I can sing are Oldies but Goodies. You know, songs from the 50's and 60's....one of my favorites that I used to sing to my kids when I arrived home from work is Daddy's Home. It goes a little like this: "You're my love, you're my angel, you're the girl of my dreams.... I'd like to thank you, for waiting patiently.....Daddy's Home.... Your Daddy's home.....to stay!!" aaaaah! It bring memories!!
