We only have 30 minutes, so I always take a couple of rice cakes and peanut butter and a handful of grapes. There's no time for anything else.<br /><br />I work doing demos at Costco. It's only PT so I guess I can stand anything two-three days a week and an occasional 4. I've started leaving myself ten minutes to use the restroom because you never know if there will be a line in there. You also need walking time to get through all the shoppers if your station is at the other end of the store.<br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-4235388177947316572016-02-29T23:10:14.002-07:002016-02-29T23:10:14.002-07:00Oh Sunni, I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Can't you go to the restroom right after lunch? Who do you work for?Vashtiqvega43https://www.blogger.com/profile/16857598955829160578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-48955414514918627182016-02-18T21:02:35.940-07:002016-02-18T21:02:35.940-07:00DG,

I tend to bump my head on lots of stuff too - all the time - or quite a bit I should say. I guess I'm just a klutz and forget there are open doors in the way, etc. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-18617204123626512212016-02-18T11:40:09.637-07:002016-02-18T11:40:09.637-07:00Grab bars are safe when used properly, and my disa...Grab bars are safe when used properly, and my disabled husband needs them to get up when sitting and for stability when walking. Work places do tend to cram a lot of stuff into the stalls sometimes without a lot of thought. I tend to bump my head on opened cabinet doors that I forget to shut before bending down. That hurts!

You have to be aware at all times no matter how big of a hurry you're in. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-28026394722111238902016-02-17T22:27:32.522-07:002016-02-17T22:27:32.522-07:00John,

Thirty minutes isn't long enough to eat and take care of other business before it's back to work.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-87538687279541202172016-02-17T22:24:58.153-07:002016-02-17T22:24:58.153-07:00Betty,

I know the bars are there for people who need them so it was probably my haste that caused that incident. I'm always in a hurry at work because we have to carry timers with us and be back ON TIME, no exceptions.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and your comment.<br /><br />SunniSunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4106218623971866390.post-19526104505938770552016-02-17T18:49:05.586-07:002016-02-17T18:49:05.586-07:00Ouch!
