sooooooooooo, im home.
i actually got home wednesday afternoon. yesterday was my first day back at honeybaked ham. its so funny because when i walk back in there it feels like i never left. some people change but ive been seeing quite a few of the same people this year which made it a fun reunion because most of them are so fun and friendly.
anyway, one of the cool things that Ted lets me do that he doesnt let other employees do is put in o-orders. those are basically any orders taken over the phone or counter that include something more than a ham or turkey (like sides and desserts). they need to be logged so we know how much of what to order. so thats pretty cool. i get to sit in his locked office and work on a computer in a comfy chair. i love it. yesterday while i was doing that i heard him talking to my manager Lynn. someone had come into work who wasnt supposed to so normally when that happens they send home the person who got there first. well i was the one who got there first. but then Ted said that i am the "go-to" person on the register and he'd rather have me stay. that was really cool. it made me feel good. so i kept on doing my stuff and whatever. then throughout today and yesterday whenever someone had a problem or trouble with something, he sent them to me. im so glad that he has that confidence in me to let me do stuff on my own.
then this morning he was showing me all of the stuff that has changed since the last time i worked and he told me that i will be the "driving force" through the next week because i am the fastest and most accurate cashier. my drawers always come out over a few cents because some people dont want to take the one or two cents they get back. so that made me feel good too. he also said that im due a raise. afterall this is my fourth year there without asking for a raise. it would be nice if he just kinda gave me one.
anyway, there is this one lady there, marcie. she SUCKS! this is this old, fat, extremely jewish lady who answers the phones and takes orders. all day she sits there and bosses the world around because she thinks she has the right to. she is rude to me, my boss, and customers too. for example...yesterday she was the only phone person there and lynn told me that if the phones were going crazy, to answer them and at least put them on hold if not take their order. so the phones went crazy and i went to pick it up. well marcie decided to throw her hand in my face. i dont care how old, how jewish, or how many grandchildren you have, you have no right to put your hand in my face. she told me i couldnt answer the phone because i dont know the script. so she answers the phone and says "thank you for calling honeybaked, please hold"...that is a script? that is crap. so i got really angry with her and just decided to ignore her for the rest of the day when she spoke to me. then the phones started going crazy again and you know wat i did? i walked away and left her alone...so she started screaming "help! the phones are ringing" and i jsut kept on walking. if she didnt need my help then, she didnt need it now. then later i was told to restock the chip cart so i wheeled it back to the break room and started reloading it. she was on the phone with a customer and said "im sorry i cant hear you, there is someone making unecessary noise next to my head" and she looked over at me..so i got up and slammed the door nice and loud. so then i grabbed as many chips as i could and stood there shaking and squeezing them to make as much noise as i could. she obviously didnt like it, but i thought it was hilarious. so then after that, one of the other bosses, Doris was walking by and said "man i wish i has some jaeger (sp?). and marcie goes "no i dont like beer" so i said "well its a damn good thing its not a beer isnt it!?" and she felt dumb. then for the rest of the day when i got a chance to sit, i sat with my back to her. oh, did i mention that she waddles back and forth from her chair to the snack cart all day? every time i look at her she is stuffing her face with a cookie or chips...gahh.
then today she went to use the bathroom and the phones started ringing so i looked at ted and said "can i answer that or will marcie rip off my head?" and he told me to answer it. so i did and i took the person's order. then while i was on the phone, marcie came back and started yelling "where the hell is my pencil!?!? who took my pencil?!?!" so i took the one in my hand and flung it at her face. she didnt like that much but i got much pleasure out of it. then the other girl anju and i were sitting having a break and marcie gets off the phone and says "some people are so stupid! blahblahblah...why are they so useless?" and anju says "maybe because they dont like you" and i started to choke on the water i was drinking! it was so funny. anyway, i dont like marcie.
so, my feet hurt, my knees hurt, and i have a killer headache. but i promised ryan that we would go walk around and look at christmas lights. so we're gonna go do that now. but i hope everyone is having a good break and i cant wait to get back to school. thats a lie...i can wait. except for the fact that its my last semester and im GRADUATING in may!!! 2 classes man! thats it!
ummm...yeah. 14 days till i see jon again. im excited. we've been having sort of a rough patch but i think that is lifting off. i think i was just miserable cause i havent seen him in a bit. but its getting better. alright, im really gonna go this time. let me know how you all are doing!
