1. I talked directly with Dr. O'Grady via the telephone yesterday, and have decided to go ahead with the surgery as scheduled. He reassured me that I would be observed for a number of hours prior to my release and that if there was any sign of complications, they would keep me overnight. I also consulted a few ladies online who have had breast ( Read more... )

Quetti told me today that hours are getting cut AGAIN, yet our store is advertising to HIRE a new stockperson AND a new keyholder. My reply was something to the effect of: "Well, it's been fun." I'm presently putting together a cover letter for No Frills, as well as a factory job I saw advertised in the paper. Praying I get one of them. The No ( Read more... )

Today was my official monthly weigh/measure day. I'm down 4 lbs and 2.75 inches in the last month. Could be better, especially lbs-wise, but I'm happy with it. I definitely feel like I'm gaining muscle already. My arms and abs, especially, are quite sore the day after each strength training session. I think I may also give myself the fitness test I ( Read more... )

Things that are total crap
I got to work today and they had apparently changed the schedule and not bothered to let me know. So after working (for free) for a half hour while waiting to find out what to do, I had to come back home and I have to go back tonight for three stupid hours from 6:30 to 9:30. Not to mention the reason I`m working at night ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

Gramma is back in the hospital again. It doesn't sound like she's doing very well. Her foot has lost sensation, and her shoulder is messed up again. She's in a lot of pain, and seems to be quite discouraged. Dad said it's the first time he's seen her feel like giving up. Not sure what's going to happen or how long she's going to be in this time.

Still not a whole lot going on in my life these days. Just work and home life, which usually consists of napping and sometimes housework. Work is going really well, though. Quetti seems to really like me, and has told me she feels relaxed working with me and that she's always happy to see me come in because she knows things will get done when I'm ( Read more... )

I got a sort-of offer of promotion at work today. Quetti, our new manager, wants to train one more person to open and close the store, and asked if I'd be interested. I'm not sure if it will pan out or not. I don't think it was a real offer. I think it was more like she was thinking outloud and she asked me because I just happened to be there. But ( Read more... )

Work has been good. Anxiety aside, I really like it at Benix. It's a very laidback atmosphere, and I like the varied routine, as opposed to *just* sales. And I think you're required to have a special degree in sarcasm to work there. So it's a lot of fun. Everyone there is great, and I'm lucky enough that no one there really rubs me the wrong way.
