I gave them their happiness (and took mine away)
I watched Atonement tonight with ibonekoen and while it was really good, I feel like I'm going to cry forever. Seriously though, I just started up again, I think my heart literally hurts. It was good though, the cinematography was gorgeous and I do love period/WWII stuff. But yeah. It's probably going to haunt me for awhile.
In other news, I'm up for checker at work, which was kind of a surprise. I applied for it, and then there were tons and tons and tons of mixed signals about how it was going to go. They said they were only going to train like five people, and then there were supposedly four in front of me, and then two dropped out. But then they were saying it was going to be those two and then two people from other departments and maybe one person from my hire group, so maybe me. The manager even asked if I applied for it, which to my mind implied that hey, he wants me in that training group.
But so yeah, a couple of days ago they made it official and gave me the training booklet, which means that in a few days I have to be tested on basic math and memorization of 30 produce codes. If I don't pass, I won't be trained, but I think I'm doing okay with the codes and I just need to brush up on long division. It should be okay.. I'm praying anyway. But being a checker would mean a pay raise and potentially more hours. It does not mean, however, that I won't have to still be a utility clerk and bag groceries and push carts because they make checkers do both. Fun fun, lol.
