Well

I'm not working this morning, I called yesterday morning to see if they still needed me, and they didn't, so I don't have to work, Yeah!! We are not going live on the registers today, they have a couple of weeks worth of work left to do, I could have told them that last week when I was there. The whole store, EVERY item has to be double checked in to the new system, and part of the process is not working right, we are going to have to do it the ahrd way, which also takes much more time, for part of the store. They still have to find checker stands that are compatible with the new equipment, they were lucky enough at the other stores that the old stands worked with the new equipment, but not at my store, which dosen't supprise much. Last I knew, they were going to flip flop our stands with another store. We'll see... Sunday Kaltrina and I are finally going to get our belly buttons pierced. I've waited for this since before Christmas, and I'm so excited!!! I work Saturday morning, 7 till 2 or 3 ish, we'll see what time I manage to get away from there, he11, I might just stay most of the day, I'd rather it be worth my trip over there, I don't just want to work 4 or 5 hours, I'd much rather work 10 or so hours, but not less than 8, other wise it dosen't pay for me to go there.

New Job!!

Well I got the job yesterday, I start training Feb.11 I think, I'm excited.. It was not so much an interview as come in lets fill out all this paperwork, and as long as all the background checks come out OK, your hired So the lady called me back today, and they got all the checks back, and I needed to get signed up for the trainings, so I got the dates picked out and she signed me up. Before my interview I decided that I shouldn't be trusted to read my school schedule, I messed up when my Comp II class is by an hour, I thought it was to start at 12:50, but it starts at 11:40, and I sat through a week of classes not knowing this. The two classes are the same, just with different instructors, so I went and talked to my instructor, and the one that I was supposed to have, and told them that it's my fault, but if no one was opposed to it, I would prefer to stay in this one, because I don't want to be a week behind in the other class, and they were all fine with that, I just need to add the new class, and drop the old one for formality sake, so basically I'm just changing times and instructors. I feel so stupid....Other than that no big news, I'm going to work at the store on Wednesday mornings for right now at least, because the other day person had to quit, so I'll help out for about 4 hours, 7-12, I don't have class until 12:50, and next week, we are going live on the new system supposedly, so they (the register company) will come in Tuesday night and switch everything over, so our first day will be Wednesday the 30th, so I'm nervous, because I'm the checker that day.

Not much to report....

Well I got a call from the interviewer and she needed to reschedule my interview until tomorrow, so we'll see what happens then, I think my car insurance will be fine, I've got the minimum and why would they care if I have comprehensive, all they should be worried about is liability, I'm so excited...When I donated blood today, one of the ladies, who I know from when I volunteered there, said that she thought I'd be a good person to work there, her daughter has services from the company. She said that the insurance thing should be ok, and she explained her thoughts about that to me, and now that she has, I think I feel the same way. She said to also make sure to tell the lady that j/g tubes don't scare me, as long as someone shows me what to do a couple of times. The medical things are interesting to me, and I would like to have some of those clients, as well as some of the more 'normal' ones, although I know that probably is not the way to describe them. I am more than willing to work with both kinds of people. It looks like every ones prayers for Nate, Tricia and Gywneth are working, but lets keep them up, they could always use more I'm sure. Well not much else, I thought this was going to be short, ,but I guess not!!

Odds and Ends

I forgot to say the other day that the lady thats doing my interview today told me to bring my DL, SS card and car insurance, so it sounds positive, so lets be hopeful. I found a blog yeaterday that I feel I need to pass along, they are really needing prayers, Confessions of a CF Husband, and I'm dumb and can't figure out how to link the address, so it is, oh well, I think I figured it out http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/. So thats it for now, I have class this morning, and then the interview alter, so I'll let you know what happens later!

New job on the horizion?!?!

I filled out an application for Nea buisness that, helps disabled persons in the community, they provide SCL, respite and other services to both the disabled person and the family. I am so excited about this, my mom worked at the same kind of place for years and I always enjoyed going to work with her. They provided the same services, and you are out in the community with the clients and, I'm just so excited. I had a brother that had CP, although I don't remember him, there are pictures of us together. I just think I'm going to really like working with disabled persons, for some reason, I think it's going to be my calling. I'm just worried that I'll get impatient with them and frustrated, but I think that I'll really like the job, that is if I get it. The only thing that I think will hold me back is the car insurance thing, I think I possibly don't have enough, but then I think that the buisness might have coverage that will cover what I don't have. I think they would have to, because of the liability that can come with buisnesses of that type. I guess we'll see what comes of it, and if possibly the pay would be enough that I could increase my insurance and it would pay for me to do that, with the extra I'd have to pay and hopefully I could manage enough hours for that and my full time schedule at school, but I know that school is my first priority, and should be my only one, but I feel I do have to work at least a few hours, for my sanity and for the little bit of extra money. I also would probably have to quit at the grocery store, and although I know it would be best for me, and probably them, I don't quite know how I feel about that. I feel 'attached' some way to it, and I don't know if I could just out right quit, so I think I'd probably just stay on one day a week at least for right now, and I'm not going to tell them. I know that I need to move on to bigger and better things, I can't wait to make more than minimum wage, and not have to drive 20+ miles each way. I just need to wait and let what happens, happen. "Que pasa, pasa"

drama, drama, drama

Is it just me, or are other people tired of the drama that goes on at places such as work, school and others. I feel like I play a major role in a soap opera, or sometimes, an even more dramatic show. Today was one of those days, that was just 'wonderful', NOT... big dramatics at work today, and I was the person that had to deal with it, and ironically also the person it revolved around, I'm just so tired of this!! When does it end????? I managed to make chicken salad, fix two reciept printers, (one involved a 10 minute phone call to tech support, only to do 2 things and it started to work, wrote that down for next time!!), put things in to the system, did some price changes, mopped the bottle of wine up off the floor, after picking up all the glass, stocked produce, made chicken, organized the stock room, washed dishes x a zillion, teach myself more about WIC, and what is and isn't approved, I started off running when I walked in the door, and was lucky enough to be able to slow down slightly by the end of the day. I know that I did more than this, but I just can't seem to think of it right now....

I'm off to bed, I have an appointment in the eairly morning, (and I'm still on winter break!!)

Getting to know me

I'm a full time college student at a local community college for a yet undecided degree....I fluctuate between education and medical, and business.... it changes daily....

I live on campus, my community college has student housing, and I love it... I wouldn't change it for the world. I currently work at a local independent grocery store once a week, (but up to 40 + hours a week during breaks, like now). I really like my job as a part time worker, I especially enjoy the customers (most of them!!) and the ever changing work environment. I can't sit at a desk all day and 'push papers', I can do some paper work, but I need to be up and moving around, physically doing things.

I really don't know what will happen with this, but I hope I can get to it a couple of times a week at the least, and I hope some people get some enjoyment out of it.
