When it is Ocala. I have been in Ocala for the past couple of weeks getting my training so I can be a good assistant manager and run a Sav-a-lot properly. Days have been spent in lowest common denominator style training designed to use a large net to ensnare everyone in the IQ [...]

Andrew wanted to see the laborious process of putting pictures in my blog. So here it is!
Sav-a-lot has offered me a job. I passed the drug test, waited an excruciating week without hearing from anyone (come to find out my HR person is on vacation hence the anxious silence). Sav-a-lot reached out to me today, though they don’t have a home for me yet and may not until November [...]
