Busy bee!

I have been so incredibly busy the last week or so, which explains the lack of updates. Tuesday I worked until 6:15 and then went to a friends' house for a jewelry party and a sleepover. I haven't seen them in a really long time, well since May, which is a really long time for us, so it was nice to just go there and see them and catch up. I of course bought jewelry. It's Lia Sophia, how could I not? My friend Kelly and I are also thinking of selling it together. I'm good at the talking and she's good with the money so it seems like it would be a perfect pairing. Plus we would both be making more than we are now which would be nice.

Wednesday, I kept Kelly company at work from 1-6. We watched a Hanson concert DVD, which got us REALLY excited for the concert next month. I also found out that they are in fact doing a walk, which is crazy awesome. It'll be at the MN Zoo...the zoo and Hanson, 2 of my favorite things. I am pumped. While I was there, I got a call from my manager asking me to come in that night. I wasn't going to get back to St. Paul for awhile, so I had to tell him no. We were having a visit from our visual department on Thursday so he asked me if I could come in at 8 AM on Thursday to help get our area cleaned up and looking good. I couldn't say no to that. I had no reason to not go in at 8 other than sleep. I needed the hours and it really wasn't a big deal. Turns out, I was the only one who showed up early who told him they would. It kind of irked me because I hate when people don't take responsibility for things like that. After work, Granny asked me to go to Sam's Club to help her apply. She tried applying on the computer there the other day and couldn't figure it out. We were in and out of there in 45 minutes at most. I thought that was funny. She would have sat there forever if she tried by herself again. I enjoyed spending time with her though. She's pretty much the only family member who is supportive of me going back to school. It's nice to have her encouragement.

Friday I ended up working until close even though I wasn't supposed to. Someone called off so no one was going to be there to work. It was just an insane day with SO many annoying kids. One group came in with NINE kids and they took FOREVER. I wanted to cry. While I was closing the register, Dustin told me how much he appreciated  me being there a lot more than I needed to be. It was good to hear that I am doing a good job and that he noticed it. That's really the only thing that I ask of him, so to see him deliver is nice. I got off work and my sister texted me saying that she was having friends stay the night which was the lat thing I wanted. I only got woken up once though so it wasn't too bad.

Saturday I ended up working even though I wasn't supposed to. I told someone that I would work for them. I wasn't upset about it until I saw who I was working with. There are a few people that I just do not enjoy working with and she is one of them. She didn't put a lot of the clothes away, which is my biggest thing, and she would disappear. I went on my 15 minute break and just as I was getting back someone from housewares came to tell me that a lot of our customers were going to their wrap stand because no one was in the kid's department. I told her I just got back from my break and I didn't know where the other person was. She was cleaning up the floor and sizing, which is important, but if I know that there are customers, I am not going to work in an area where I can't see anything. It was just irritating and I was so frustrated the whole day. Turns out she was supposed to go to a different area at 5. She was blaming the managers, which they should have reminded her, but her schedule said that she was going to a different area at 5 so she should have called a manager and asked. Again, take some responsibility.

Anyway, that pretty much sums up why I haven't updated. haha!
