We're moving!!!!

Can you spell stress?! S-T-R-Oh wait! I don't have time for this I've got homework and work and packing and other work and staff meeting and
Saturday academy...

But really, my sis and I are moving today and though I relish the move as a way to get away from rude, awful, hypocritical roommates, I am so exhausted that I can barely move!! The other day I was reading aloud to my sister and fell asleep right there, on the book, in all my clothes (jacket, jeans and everything!) Last night my sis and I were packing and I laid down for a second and fell asleep right in the middle of all our boxes and stuff (she didn't know I was asleep so when she started talking it woke me up lol) but I mean really? falling asleep like that?!! Jeez! We didn't even get all our packing done! I have to say though that my sis has been a wonderful source of encouragement to me and I love her! I've got a project that's haunting me while I'm not doing it and hurting me while I am. I've got work to makeup and don't even get me started on my retail job...

Okay ya got me started! But I'll keep it minimal...let's just say that I'm about to rip a customer a new one if they all keep it up...k?

Time to get in the shower so I can go to work and hear my manager chew me out on how I missed the staff meeting...

A day with glitter is gooood ^_^

So I had work today and it was a call in. I called in thinking I worked at 12:30, so I got up and dressed and got there at 12:30. I walked in and my boss was all "what are you doing here?" and I said "you said you were using me today, what should I clock in as?" and she says "yeah we are but you're not scheduled till 3" *DOY!* so I return home and then go out with my family briefly. I went BACK to work lol and yay! my most favorite boss is on duty (catch the oh so subtle sarcasm?). Well, work isn't too bad but my feet hurt after a few hours. They decide to keep me on until 10 which is cool with me :) well here comes the piece de resistance, we're staying open until we meet our quota of sales and these two older women come in. I walk over to help them with the fragrances and while we were chatting one of the women discovered the glitter poof. Well she put some on herself and WHOOOSH! out comes a glitter shower! She must've enjoyed that so much that she wanted to share it with her friend. WHOOOSH! another glitter shower. Well she must've been SO pleased with that, that she just really wanted me to feel the glitter love too lol. Well I see her reach out towards me and WHOOOSH! I am drenched in glitter! YIPES! My boss (one that I actually like lol) walks past us and starts coughing because she inhaled it! So after all the customers left, my feet were killing me!!!! We had to clean up and then I finally got to go home :) I walk in the door and the first thing my sister says is, "Why are you covered in glitter?!!!" hahahaha

Time Travelin' aka Stop Thief!!!

I saw The Time Traveler's Wife last night and it was incredible!!! I won't give anything away except to say BRING KLEENEX!!!

So from here on out I'm going to refer to my workplace as Job 1 (creative I know right? lol) anyway, on the offchance that my blog becomes rich and famous I won't be saying names and such, though I will say that one job that I work is retail and the other is education (aka Job 2). If you look below you'll notice no names or locations of any sort! Wow I'm good! :o)

It all started on a blisteringly hot day, in a car with no air conditioning (YIPES!). I was driving to Job 1 and all seemed normal when I arrived. I was master (mistriss?) of my zone and on top of things :) I take my break and then my lunch. I come back and return to my zone. Maybe an hour later I hear my manager, in a fierce whisper, over my walkie (which connects all employees) "Don't let her leave the store! Do anything you can to keep her occupied!" I'm recovering the product and wondering what the heck is going on here! I look around and am curious as to which customer the are refferring. I see this girl who looks kinda upset and annoyed walk over to my zone (which happens to be our other entrance/exit) and she can't see me at first because I'm recovering behind an island. I hear her complain about her wallet and finding her mom. Me, because I'm the ever-so-helpful associate, move over to help her. I ask if she's tried the fitting room and if she wants I'll look for her wallet here. She looks startled and just walks away. I see my manager walk away with her and realize that this is the girl. I still don't really know what's going on until I hear the other girls talking about having seen some of our merchandise in her bag! OOH! Now it makes sense! So, I'm on one side of the store recovering and half hoping she'll come over here so that I can have a go at catching her and half fearing I won't be able to and she'll leave! That would've been MAJOR fail points! Eventually we are able to contact security (and the shrink hotline) and they come and it turns out they called the PD. So outside our store I see a few police cars with their lights going (I felt like our store was celebrating independence day again!) and the friend of the girl (I saw them walking around) kinda standing far away, as if to say "I'm waiting for you but I don't know you!" lol. So the girl is taken away in the police car and I hear over the walkie that this girl stole (read: attempted to steal) almost $1000 in merchandise! And my manager's awesome skills recovered it all! At the end of the night when we were leaving, she showed us all of the stuff she had in her bag! It was crazy!

So the happy ending to my story? We got all our product back AND our manager gave us all $5 rewards! :D

Old Friends, New Friends And Lazy Days :)

So let me start out by saying that they cancelled my shift AGAIN! So after being woken up to be told that I didn't need to wake up yet...I called my mom to whine a bit and then got dressed and went with my roomie to plato's closet :) There I proceeded to find 3 blouses (2 of which are work appropriate! and 1 of which is a tee) for $13! :D After we got home my friend showed up to print off some papers for his evaluation stuff and we got to hang out for a bit which totally rocked! Now I'm watching tv and just relaxing and maybe gonna hang out with my friend for a bit and just overall enjoying my day :)

A Bittersweet Day Off

So I was up till bout 5 this morning and it was cool cus I didn't work till 1. Well thats still only 5 hours sleep but it's cool. So I wake up at 10 and get up, get some cereal, eat breakfast, watch a lil tv and then get in the shower (rockin' out to Kelly Clarkson! Heck yes!), get out, throw on clothes, blow dry my hair, put on my makeup and begin to straighten my hair. If you know me at all, or see me on a regular basis, you will know that the hair straightener and I have not bonded in the way of other girls and their hair machines. My hair is so thick (albeit short) that it takes FOREVER! So usually I allow my natural curls to take over and evolve into frizz. Not the best but it's convienent lol. I LOVE the way my hair looks straight and it's a mega confidence booster. So since God decided to reinform me of my gender today, I thought "Well I'm working today and it's gonna be a particularly long shift and I could use the hair to balance the out of whack emotional junk so...what the heck! :)" Well, I step away for a second, and return to a voice mail from my store. "Hi, this is ____ , we're cancelling your shift today, see you next time. Enjoy your day off!" Very polite and sweet. But at this moment two things are running through my mind. 1: YAY!!! no work!!! and 2: CRAP! that's 6 HOURS OF PAY LOST! so anyway I'm enjoying not working today but I could've used the $$. So, I ended up straightening my hair anyway and I'm just relaxing and enjoying it all by myself lol OOH! and I'm going swing dancing tonight!!! YAY!
