    This means you have been doing your job waaaay to long

    I have posted about this before BUT yeah I sometimes believe that I have been doing my job way too long.

    To set the scene --- I was watching the local afternoon/evening newscast. They show a very specific house in a tight shot without any street detail with the voice over saying something about 3 teens getting busted for a string of major business robberies. Not a common thing BUT I notice the house and KNOW the exact address of the house and where it is (on a corner of a major and minor streets not that far from where I live and deep in my delivery area).

    The voice over continues and mentions the cross streets without a specific address but I KNOW the exact address anyway.
    I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

    Sometimes I'll be walking and see someone's curtains and be like "I know exactly what fabric that is, I know when it goes on sale, I know where it goes in the store." The other day I saw a lady with a pretty knit scarf and knew the brand of yarn, and what line it was from.

    Yup, know how you feel.

      My dad is thinking about replacing the tile in the kitchen. Hes like I have no idea where to even start. I said go to big blue or orange and look in flooring. Well what does it stick on with? I said it comes pre glued and has paper on the back that you peel off. Its 12x12 pieces and comes 24 to a box (I think).

      People will be talking about having to get certain items and Ill tell them what aisle theyre on and where they are.
      How do you know all of this? Ummm worked at big blue for about 7 years?

        Scooter, We used that tile in our kitchen and it turned out great. I went and grouted it.

          And the reverse of this is .....

          I went back to work today after 6 weeks of medical leave. I have been at *this* particular store 6 years (in May), so I know where stuff is

          Today, after a customer asked me where something was, I gave her very specific directions - "Aisle 8, left hand side, 4th shelf". It was only after that, and a co-worker pointed it out to me, that I noticed that the remodel they did while I was out renumbered ALL of the aisles. Where we used to have 9 aisles, we now have 18 - same physical number of aisles, but now they are individually numbered on each side. As in, Aisle 1 is the left side, the right side is now Aisle 2 (hope that makes sense!).

          So even though I've been at my job "waaaay too long", I no longer know where anything is! I can't even
