Yeah, It does seem like I've been with this company forever, even though it has been only 13 years. Started with Osco (American Stores Company) in 1993. ASC merged with Albertsons in 1999. Albertsons was split between 3 different companies in June 2006. (CVS got all the freestanding drug stores (Osco and Sav-On), SuperValu got most of the grocery stores and combos, and a private equity firm got the 'underperforming' grocery and combo stores, including all the stores in Arizona.) CVS put their own systems in the drugstores, so the only stores that use the system I work with are the Jewel-Oscos in Chicago-Milwaukee area. SuperValu decided to centralize all the support for the Jewel-Oscos to the Melrose Park, IL office. I posted for a few of the jobs there, but they didn't want me... :( (A lot of it is they decided they weren't going to pay relocation for hourly workers, after they said earlier they would... I did not want to pay my own move again...) So, we've been training the people in Melrose over the past few weeks, and we get severed on Friday... *shrugs* oh well, I will find something.
I was hoping that my battery would be one of the ones in the Sony recall, but nope. It was good for about 4 hours originally, down to about 2 hours as of Sept. now about 50 minutes. Still good for most of what I use it for unplugged. (and yeah, I do enjoy being able to go out on the porch with it, and smoke and browse. :)
Yeah, Mannheim is great too! I've got a lot of their CDs too.
