Day Number 9 recap:
Today I worked from 10-6. It was a pretty good day at work, although my legs and butt were killing me from all the running I hate been doing lately... but I just try to think of it as I'm going to have one hell of an ass when I reach my goal. haha Not that anyone ever really checks me out, or that I really want anyone besides maybe a couple people checking me out, but whatever. It's nice to see changes in myself... changes for the better of course, and the more I work out, the better mood I'm in and the better I feel about myself. It's nice. But anyways... work. Umm I had a list of projects to do all day. 1st hang the clearance pants on the back of the sweater table in Feature. 2nd flip the Dom and NonDom walls in Shop 1 (That was a pain and took forever, because it was a combination of hung things and shelves... and it normally takes 2 people to put in a shelf, because they're heavy as fuck and super hard to get on the track. But i successfully did it on my own. It made me feel good). 3rd change the Feature endcap in Mens' and 3 endcaps in Womens' and make them all clearance endcaps with full displays. That was fun. 4th, get all underwear out of upstock and on the grid between Shop 2 and Shop 2 1/4. 5th, Condense socks on that same grid. 6th, find a spot for the tee shirts that needed a home. I finished my entire list while being the first backup cashier and doing a million other things like I always do. I'm quite the worker... and our new general manager Kylie acknowledges it. I really like her... and she absolutely loves me. She's big on making changes in our store, and I like that. I also like that she often asks me for my opinion on things and my ideas because she thinks they're good. A lot of my managers at work think I should look into making a career out of my job... and I know that I could be successful at it.. but honestly, a monkey could work retail. I want to do something more. Something that makes a difference in the lives of others... something like teaching. :)
After work I had to go to class, because I thought I had class 6:30-10:30, but when I go there, the professor was totally into teaching the class and looked angry at me for interrupting his class just by walking down the hallway.. so I kept walking, went out a different door and went back to my car and drove to the grocery store. I felt like an idiot. What a good first impression to make on the first class. Argh. I was so upset/disappointed, that I went to Giant Eagle to buy stuff to make chocolate chip cookies, I stocked up on Ben & Jerry's because it was on sale, and I bought more organic baby carrots because I ate the rest of mine on my lunch break today. Then I came home, baked my cookies, talked to Sara, and emailed my professor. We laughed a lot and caught up a bit. Then, we went to Target around 9 because she needed to get some stuff for her trip this weekend. She bought eye makeup remover, toys for Kaylin for Easter, luggage tags and 2 pairs of shoes. I bought eyebrow stencils (haha), a present for Dann which I'm totally stoked to give to him the next time I see him... even though it will more than likely be on my birthday weekend. Hey Dann, it's my birthday... here's a present! haha Wouldn't it be fun if on your birthday, instead of getting presents, you gave them to your friends?? That'd be awesome.. because then you'd get random gifts all year long from your friends on their birthdays. Wow. I think I might start doing that.. Maybe it will catch on and become a trend.... but anyways... back to what I bought. I also bought the sweet shoes that you see at the top of this entry. I love them. After like 3 announcements that the store was closing, we finally checked out, and went to the Fox and Hound. Sara had to talk to her bosses about something, so I stayed in the car and called Dann. Then we came home, I continued to talk to Dann and I played online. Now I think I'm going to head to bed soon. I'm kind of tired and not really looking forward to school tomorrow. Argh. No work till Saturday though! YES! Ok.. that's all
