Crying at Work... I don't recommend it...

Well, yesterday I had a little incident with a co-worker. She was talking to someone she had earlier told me she "hated". So when "Jacob" and I had a line I called out to her and told her we needed help. She kinda turned around and then turned back to talk. So a little more authoritatively (or with attitude I guess you could say) I said that we had lines. So she stopped talking to them and helped finally. After the most of the customers were gone I leaned over to her register and started to say that I was sorry for coming across so bossy, and that I didn't mean it that way. However, before I could even explain she snapped, "NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!" I was boarder-lining tears at this point, and she was finishing up with a customer. So I didn't say anything to her. Then a little while later after all the customers were gone I tried to apologize even more and explain that I was trying to help her get away from the woman she didn't want to talk to in the first place. She still didn't really choose to accept my apology, and this all happened with about 20 minutes left in my shift. So it was the last thing that happened that day. Still trying not to cry I started collecting recovery. Then the guy I mentioned on Saturday that I think is cute (for the sake of this blog I will call him Jacob) came up to me with a little puppy toy. It instantly brought a smile to my face! For a couple reasons...

One reason was... Earlier that day at the beginning of my shift a little boy and his mom walked up to my register to check out. The little boy (Aprox. 5 years old) instantly started talking to me. He was telling me all about this little puppy toy that he was holding in his hand. He went on to explain to me that he couldn't have it right now, but he would be receiving it for his birthday. His mom said he couldn't have it, so I told him I would put it behind the counter. He handed it to me. And started telling me that he had named it George. He went on to tell me more about George. As I was finishing with his mom she looked at me and was like, "He can't have it right now. I have to be strong..." He was so cute, and he never complained or anything. As they were getting ready to walk away he told me to make sure I took good care of George. And if George got sick that I had to bring him back to health until his mom could come and get him. Awwww... I almost wanted to buy it for him... So when "Jacob" brought "George" up to me, it brought a smile to my face, and I told "Jacob" the story. He thought it was cute too.

So that was yesterday. Today went well. And GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I GOT MY SCHEDULE CHANGED FOR FRIDAY!!!!! I will be working 7:45am-12noon instead of my 8hour mid day shift!!! Praise God. I am so thankful!! :D I asked _____ today (My new manager) and she let me change it! I am so happy!

So that was today and yesterday about me!!

Surprise!!!! and Punching!

Today was a surprise retirement party for Bruce N. He is a family friend that we have known since we went to Christian Family Fellowship. He is a blind man who plays the guitar for us when we lead praise and worship. Yesterday at church the surprise was almost blown, but I think the Bruce himself covered the error!! When he walked in today my family acted like they would any other time that they would come over to visit. Then after a small conversation my dad put his fingers up like 1...2...3... And everyone went, "SURPRISE!!" It was great. He had no idea! And he (for the first time that I can ever remember) was speechless!!! :)

This morning I decided that it would be easier to wash my bed and completely start over in order to make it look nice. It needed washed anyways. I haven't washed it in months. So after washing the sheets and getting Vic's help to make my bed, I started to tuck the sheet into the bottom of the bed. (for those of you who have never seen my room I have a loft bed, so it is VERY difficult to wash and make.) As I was pulling the sheet through one of the slats under the bed the sheet slipped out of my hand and my fist smashed into my nose. It hurt very badly. That was at 1:15pm this afternoon, and at 7:00 I could still feel it. At this moment it is not bothering me! Praise God! But I finally around 6:30 put an ice bag on it. I have even taken Tylenol, but it still hurt. All through the party I was feeling this pain in my nose/right eye. I am very thankful that it didn't turn black and blue. Do NOT punch yourself in the face! It is very painful.

So that was the events for today. Now Vic and I are going to watch the first half of Castle that will follow up tomorrow evening. By the way amazing movie suggestion: "The Magic of Ordinary Days!" It is a Hallmark movie! LOVE IT!!! Maybe be a new favorite! And Robert Wagner isn't even in it!! :D

Working on a Saturday... :P"""

Got up at seven this morning!!! Shocker I know, but I had to be at work at eight! I don't usually work on Saturdays, but every so often they schedule me. I only ever work the 8-12 shift, and it seems that they usually don't really need me. But what can you do.

My attitude was good going in, so I had a good day. I got one credit! And got to work a tiny bit with a guy I think is cute! ;) So all in all a good day. I went shopping for about 45 minutes after I got off, and when I went up to check out "Liz" gave me a 30% discount (instead of the 20% that I had!)! She was very nice! And in the past few days of working with her, I have enjoyed her company! God is good!

And have you ever realized how noticeable a purity ring can be!?! I have always been surprised at how many customers comment about it. And a couple days ago a couple girls (about my age maybe a little older), asked me about it. I told them yes I was a Christian, and that I was still waiting on MR. Right! They said that they appreciated that, and gave me a card with a link to a friend of theirs web site. I'll post the link, but I personally have not had the chance to check it out yet... JesusLifeTogether.com It was pretty neat. So remember you are an example where ever you are, and in whatever you are doing...

Surprise party tomorrow!!! I'll talk more about that later! :)

3 Credits!!

Hello!  

I got three credits today at work!  All in about 30 minutes!  :D  That was pretty exciting for me. :)  And on a side note, there is a Chipotle that is almost in the Kohl's parking lot.  Today NBC 4 was at Chipotle doing casting for a new TV show that will be airing later in the year.  I don't remember the name of the show, but it had something to do with creating a restaurant that isn't already out.  (Or maybe like a fast food place, I am not sure...)  So when I pulled into work today our (Kohl's) parking lot on the Morse Rd. side of the building was packed, for the Chipotle customers were using it.  And there was a huge bus with the logo for the show on it.  So if you were in Chipotle on Morse Rd. today you could have been on TV!!  How cool is that...  Because of my credit I got a buy one get one coupon for Chipotle.  I have already told someone at work that I would give it to them, for nobody in my family likes to eat there.  Vic said I should sell the coupon.  I probably could to some people at work... :)  

Anyways... Tomorrow morning I will have to get up around 7AM, for I have to be at work at 8AM.  So that will be my fourth day in a row at work.  I am not the happiest person in the world when it comes to working on Saturdays, but God has provided joy for me the past few days.  I am currently asking God for favor when it comes to my schedule next week.  I was scheduled to work on Good Friday, (which isn't good) for that will mean that I will miss the annual family Easter get together at my Aunt's house.  And that is like my FAVORITE time of the year.  I am praying that I will be able to talk to my manager, and that she will agree to let me have the day off even though I was scheduled to do it.  I know it will be all God's doing if this works out.  We shall see.  I was also scheduled that Saturday morning afterward.  I am praying that she will let me have it off too...  So any agreeing prayers would be much appreciated!!

Lord, please give me wisdom.  Your word says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5)  So I am asking You for wisdom not only for Good Friday, but in all my upcoming days.  In looking for my future husband and everything else I am thinking about at this time.  I place my life and plans in Your hands.  Thank you for taking care of and guiding and directing my paths.  I love You! :)

Everyone have a great weekend!

Today!

I had a great day at work today. Even though I didn't get a credit. I worked a 8 1/4 hour shift today!! Not used to that! :) I have another pretty long day ahead of me tomorrow! This week will have a nice check following!

Story from today:

Earlier this week I worked with a girl(for the sake of this story I will call her Liz); I like her, but sometimes she can get annoying... I had a pretty bad day on Sunday when I worked with her last, so when I saw that I would be working with her again today I prayed that it wouldn't effect me negatively.

I was at a front register today (closest to and facing the door). The girl I mentioned above was at the register behind me. A guy (I would say in his Low 20s) came in. He was what I would call the tall dark and handsome type, and he was wearing a Mount Carmel scrub-like outfit. Yes, I thought he was cute... When I went on break I passed him again while he was shopping for a wallet in the mens' department. So I was thinking to myself... "He is cute, and if he is wearing a Mt. Carmel outfit... Maybe he is studying to be a doctor... That would be a nice paycheck... (etc...)" After I got back from break I was helping a customer, and when I turned around I saw that he was being helped by Liz. I fixed the carts while she was helping him, and watched him leave. As I was walking back to my register, Liz mouthed "OH MY GOSH". :) Even though I knew what she was talking about I said, "What?"
Liz replied, "Did you see him? He was so cute!?! He came up to me and was like 'Hi' and I was like 'hi' ." She said this while acting weak kneed, blushing, and bashful. Then for the next 15 minutes she went on about how wonderful he was. :D I would just glance at her later and she would tell me to shut up! :) It was funny. I never told her what I really thought about him. And she still doesn't know that I saw him come in, and when he was in the mens' department!

And that was today! Tonight will be Survivor Heroes vs. Villains! And I will be resting my legs and feet while in preparation for tomorrow!!
