Update?

Sorry! Forgot to post.

Monday - Wednesday: *headdesk* I had to work with this girl that I'm 90% of the time fighting with. *sigh* It's like she tries to make it hard for me to like her. Luckily, I get away by organizing the aisles instead.

Yesterday: Semi-short shift. Even tho we stayed until nearly 10pm organizing the aisles to be practically perfect. All because the girl that was organizing the STORE wasn't doing properly. Yeah, I noticed too, but I didn't want to say anything. So the manager scolded our supervisor and we had to do the whole store again, but in such great detail that we were practically annoyed by it. *shrugs* I did learn how to use the PA system, and had to use it twice. Oooh! How horribly embarrassing! Do not want to do it again. Ever!

I'm half celebrating, half dreading next week. I only have two days off! Finally! We have hours again! *dances* But the dreading part is where I still consider how much I hate people right now.

I have to deal, I guess. Most jobs involve dealing with people anyway. *sigh*

Broken Glass

So today I arrived to be told that last night there was a burglary. D:

I don't know (yet) how they got in, but they broke the glass of the shelves-things where the cigarette cartons are in. According to a fellow co-worker, they stole cartons of cigarettes and liquor. Yup, pretty much the most expensive things at the supermarket. But they ignored the computer. Huh. Nice priorities, idiots. Anyway, they also broke the tray of one of the cashier machines. Which also happen to be computers.

Wait, what?

So they stole cigs and booze instead of technology. Okay.

Anyway, moving on. Today we were cleaning. A lot. Apparently the founder of the supermarket chain is coming by tomorrow for inspection. And lo-and-behold! I am free tomorrow! Yay! I don't have to suffer the pain from having the managers and supervisors panicking like idiots. Because they can.

I've been told that the old man can barely walk and that last time he came, he needed lots of help going up the stairs. He peaked into the produce area, and then left. All that panicking for nothing.

Oh well.

I'm free until Friday. *shrugs* I think this is a good time to do other things. XD

Hmmm.

It was a good shift.
That book gave me a way to not be depressed about life and to move on. Yay?

I had a battle with the canned juices since they wanted to be on the floor. But in the end they submitted to my will.

One of my co-workers said I was too happy. XD Yay!

Had an interesting conversation with the bunny. We agreed that my resume needs serious tweeking. I need to get together with Ju to work with that and how to make a cover letter (since I've never made one before o_o).

I'm getting off track.

Anyway. That's about it. It was a good, rainy day. :3

Hello!

Once again I've made a blog about working. This time I'm working at the local supermarket. Again.

They were kind enough to re-hire me after I had left them to work at the airport (where I had hoped to get an even better job, but alas, I had no such luck).

So yes. This time I've been there since around September of 2008. I've had my ups and downs, but when do we not?

I've started classes again, this time with a new career focus: computer repair. I'm very motivated this time around, which is a huge plus.

Also, I got this book today which is giving me hopes of bettering myself. And it's not even about that, so yeah.

The book is called "1001 things every teen should know before they leave home (or else they'll come back)", and while I'm not thinking of leaving home any time soon, this does help clear up a million and one things that I've never known about and have been doing wrong. Let's see how this lasts.

Work today is at 4:00pm, so I'll leave you all now and come back tonight with today's update.

Today's update:

With high spirits from reading the book, I embarked on work today. And I had a lot less frustrations than usual. There were boring times staring into space, we did our aisles in semi-fast time, I rekindled my mini relationship with lettuce and its family while going "ewwww" every now and then (mentally, for there were still people about near me). etc etc etc.

At the very very last moment, the ATM system fell, which sucked and left a family and me without being able to buy anything. Awww. I was going to cook (yes, you read that right) something for mom.

The good news is that I asked dad to kindly pick up some broccoli at Wal-Mart which is what I was going to buy. Yay.
