Okay, work not as big of a mistake as I thought. To review for white_quill, I was hired as seasonal help at a women's clothing store in the mall about 20 miles away. I don't mind driving -- I like driving actually, my worry is that gas will cost me more than they wind up paying me. And that is likely. Also it's a bummer because I have to share a car with my mother, and while she works in town so it's not as big of a deal if she didn't, it makes me feel bad. Also, I really wanted to work days but nobody is going to let me work days. Not RJ, not Michelle (manager at the store), it's just not going to happen. Ergo, I'm going to wind up not getting to do things that I would otherwise want to do. But whatever.
Although the first thing they had me do was sort freight -- the clothing they received today -- which consisted of opening boxes, sorting shirts, pants, underwear, jackets, etc., and then I did some reading (handbook with an accompanying quiz) and then I did some cleaning.
I got a voicemail about six o'clock from my mom who said they were taking grandma to the hospital in Davenport and I should call her ASAP. So since I was in the back, I called her but she didn't pick up right away. So I spent about ten minutes in a panic thinking my grandmother was dying and no one was going to be able to tell me and holy shit what a first day, right? Well, I got a hold of my mother and she had neglected to mention in her message that it was for her gall bladder, which is fairly routine and not usually life threatening. So I calmed down a little. They're going to do surgery some time tomorrow.
One of the girls at the store told me that I had a British accent on some words. XD I think I said, "Excellent!" so it's perfectly possible. I have been watching Doctor Who and watch more British television than the average American thanks to the wonder of the internet.
Speaking of which, if anyone wants to know what to get me for Christmas, I want a TARDIS and am considering changing my career to Doctor's companion. What, I could do it.
And when I got home tonight, my brother and his girlfriend (who, wait for it, we met last Saturday at the play and my sister discovered on FACEBOOK, I love the internet) were on the couch, so I took my laptop and went back to my room until they were gone Three's a crowd, after all. >_>
And it's hella windy out there.
