So I haven't updated about the work situation in awhile. That's because there really isn't anything to update. Basically I am playing the waiting game. I am waiting until the holiday season starts and I can apply to be an SSA. Let me tell you, I need it. Bad. Money is insanely tight. And with needing to move out sooner rather than later. Yikes is all I can say.
I have a good shot at getting it. I dunno how much more money it will bring me, but hopefully I can count on it. Like I said, that will lead the way to bigger opportunities. Did I hear someone say, "manager"?! That would be so awesome. One of my co-workers said she would hate it. She couldn't handle dealing with the crabby customers. I love it though. I have had to save a couple associates when a customer has gotten mad at them. It's weird. I like being the one to calm them down and figure out a solution to the problem. It's fun! Haha! We have started having SSAs for big sale days and I was asked a couple weeks ago if I wanted to do it. I would have loved to, except that I had big plans that night (NKOTBSB, baby!) so I couldn't. It's a good sign though that they want me to! :)
Work was awesome today. We started inventory today. I wasn't doing it today, but I work the overnight shift tomorrow. WOO HOO! Anyway, it's important that we get things from other departments back to their homes, so I went on a little adventure and took care of that today. There were a pair of jeans that had been in our department forever. They weren't ours, so I went to drop them off in men's. I was told they didn't belong there either. The Levi specialist had never even seen that style. So off to the loss prevention office I went. As I was heading back to my department, I noticed the associate in another department had quite the line, so I jumped in and helped. Not only that, but I got the customer to open a Macy's card! It was awesome! To make it even better, one of the managers saw the whole thing. At first I freaked out because I thought for some reason, I may get in trouble. I have no idea why I thought that, but that was me being paranoid. Nope. Just the opposite. She was impressed with me! Unfortunately, the credit for the Macy's card won't go toward my scorecard because I was nice and rang under the other associate's number since she helped the woman. BUT, I can deal with that. I'll make up for it next week.

Not Surprised
I was going to wait to write this blog post until things had calmed down and I had time to gather my thoughts. However, I am in a blogging mood and I need somewhere I can channel my energy and comments. It's so hard for me not to comment on people's Facebook statuses or Twitter comments. I am afraid I may say something completely asshole-ish and sever ties completely or something like that. Plus, most of the things would just be repetitive and I don't want to sound like a broken record. So here it goes.
I, like a lot of the country, was glued to my T.V. once I found out that a verdict had been reached in the Casey Anthony trial. I didn't really watch the trial. I read some stuff about it, but I didn't follow it all that closely. I hate that the media makes such a circus out of things like this. I guarantee that if the child was Black or Hispanic, there would not be such a frenzy around the trial. But, that's not what I came on here to talk about.
I am not surprised at all that Casey Anthony was found not guilty on the murder and manslaughter charges. Not even a little. The burden of proof lies on the prosecution. It's their job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Casey Anthony murdered Caylee. That just didn't happen. Too much of the evidence the prosecution provided was circumstantial. She may have planned to kill Caylee; Caylee may have drowned in the pool and then Casey may have made it look like murder. Caylee's body, when found was too decomposed and mangled to conclude a cause of death. That's a HUGE key piece of evidence missing. Yes, the defense's case had some missing parts as well, but the burden of proof does not lie with them. Their job is to show reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case. Which is exactly what they did.
The jurors did their job. They looked at the evidence and saw the holes in the prosecution's case. They saw all the what-ifs. All the probabilities. Whatever feelings they have toward Casey, they checked at the door. Yes, she partied, got a tattoo, and failed to report her daughter missing for a whole month. It may be because she was celebrating her new freedom (what a horrible thing to think. I can't imagine anyone being able to do that, but you never know) or that could have been her very strange way of grieving.
I'm not saying I believe she is innocent. I am just saying, that, legally speaking, I believe the verdict is right. Morally, I am not sure. I would be surprised if she wasn't involved somehow. If she is, that's something she has to live with for the rest of her life.
