Work continues to be awesome. I've never had a supervisor I get along with as well as I do with Quetti. I guess the closest would be legendof12world, but even with her there would be personality clashes sometimes. Quetti and I just feed off one another's energy so perfectly. It's absolutely awesome. And she really likes and trusts me, as much as I do her. She keeps telling everyone how much my sales skills have improved. And she wants me to learn how to close this month, so I'll be able to do it by myself by the 24th of December. Eek, responsibility! I'm nervous and excited. She's also going to start having me to do closing shifts on Thursdays, so I can learn the closing procedure.
And I crushed my sales budget today! That was fun and exciting. I beat it by around $100, I think. Selling two dinnerware sets at a time helped a lot. I don't care much about the sales goals, but it still makes me happy when I meet mine. I just don't freak out over it if I fall short, like some people there do.
Now I'm off work until Tuesday. Glad to have the break, and get to sleep in finally. If the family doesn't invite us to the hospital to visit Gramma tomorrow, we may try to get some shopping done. I've already done quite a bit of online Christmas shopping, but there's still plenty to be done. And we're borrowing a tree from Gramma this year, so we need to get our own ornaments. I'm excited, because we didn't have any kind of decorations or even exchange gifts between the two of us last year. So I'm determined to make this the bestest, most festive Christmas ever.
Last night, we had an impromptu American Thanksgiving dinner. I hadn't planned on making anything, and just decided to at around 5 pm, well after I was already home from work. And I didn't feel like going back out. So I had to come up with something festive made only with ingredients we just happened to have in the house. It was really challenging and fun, and I'm somewhat impressed I managed to pull it off. We ended up having some roast turkey breast fillets, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. The turkey and stuffing recipes were totally MacGyvered off the top of my head. I was SURE they were going to end up inedible because I'd never cooked either in my life and didn't use any kind of recipe. But they turned out pretty darn good, I think. My secret stuffing ingredients are bacon bits and apple butter.
Gramma is out of ICU, last I heard, and has had some sensation return to her leg. She's back on pain medication, too. She's set to stay in the hospital for the next 4 to 6 weeks, right now.
The end.
