re: #85 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Oh! I didn’t know it was Kroger.

“Krogering” is a verb in Virginia.

You know what’s scaring me? Most of the managers, the area trainer and misc. grunts are telling me I’m management material. I’m telling all these folks I don’t want to be put on a management career track AT ALL. I’m 57, I’m a programmer, this is a “semi-retirement” job because the IT market has gone to pot in the Denver area.

I’m happy as a cashier, with 20-30 hours a week, pays my bill, I have time off to enjoy the wonderful mountains I live in, can take care of things at home, have time to surf the intertubes, all that.

Management tracking will take 10 years off my life at this point. I want to be a grunt. I’ve always been good at being in the foxhole and keeping my head down and getting the job done, no matter what I’m doing.

Keep my name off your career tracking reports.
