Sally---You are no less informed about plants than i am. Don't be so humble...
It may be on a different aspect of plants--but i still will go to you for advice on things if I need .
AND--THAT IS HOW THIS FAMILY of MAG operates. It is all--give,help, take care of and share!!
eg:--I seldom "dig" for informational links or articles--but you do, as you work in a Library.
And then I learn a lot from those links.
--You also know most of the horticultural names--and I do not. "No "speakie dat lanuage-- Kapish?
--You also, actually, have a vegetable garden and you REALLY have to fight with Voles and Moles
and I do not. Lucky me! You DO know A LOT! I thank you for that.
--Unfortunately--in Spring, BIG Box Stores will hire anyone that 'seems" interested in and-willing and able to do
--a lot of hard, dirty work. "A Lot attendant" is NOT the most glamorous job--but it is "foot in the door" of
maybe a long-term commitment to the job you have. Take it and grow from it!!!!
--be self-motivated--do not wait to be told what needs to be done--SEE IT and DO IT!
--attend to all the needs of customers--above anything else you may be doing at the moment.
--show up on time as scheduled. Do not call out on weekends b/c you partied too much .
--Know that--all management is keeping an eye on you--SHINE! Do anything that you can do!
--and--maybe by some miracle--you will gain enough confidence to also segue into other departments
to help customers. THAT will REALLY get you "points"....
LEARN more about EVERY Department you can. Bonus points for sure!
I am NOT saying I qualify for all these expectations. But--I try--and I have also been there 18 yrs.
I LOVE my Home Depot! It is my "Home-Away-from-Home" and my second family.
As soon as I walk in the doors of my HD (on days I am working) --I become a different person.
I feel like I am "HOME"...I know the names of all 100+ employees--and they know me. I smile--on stop!
MY HOUSE is NOT the same as My HOME . My "HOME is where my heart is--where people know me--
accept me--respect me..no matter my age or my limitations. I will always prove them WRONG!
My "HOME" is where I retreat to for some R&R--and then spend hours taking care of MY garden,
mowing my lawn-watering...etc....LOTS of work here too....
YEAH! I like that too--but not as much-but having the option to quit any time I want to at my job.
OK! FYI---Bonnies Veggies and Herbs stand is up! No Tomatoes yet--but many herbs , cold crops,
Strawberry plants, Rosemary, Mints, etc. are in.
So is Spinach, Kale, Cabbage plants, etc...etc....Lots of Pansies are in too.
Early blooming shrubs and, Fruit trees too. Usual Spring stuff. GO SEE! Gita
