First day of Work---How it went

[kissesfromdasky]

Today was the first day at my new job. When i got there 5 min earlier i was waiting for Sharon to come out so be time she clocked me in i was a min late:/ Then just went into the training office filled the rest of the orientation papers and got my uniform. I had to fill out a paper saying that im requesting off. See before i got hired i told the guy tom that higher me that im going with my church on the 9,10 and im off the 11 so that wouldn't be a prob and also the 23 and 24th .He said it was fine and i made sure with him that he knew that i felt i should tell him and im glad i did thank you lord because i don't think he would have granted it. Well anyways today Sharon made me fill out paper work about me leaving off and i wanted to make sure she knew that tom said it was ok that he wouldn't have hired me if it wasn't ok with him. Well she tells me that you cant say tom said this and that. That ,that form is what is going to back me up and that she thinks that they can schedule it in so i wont have to cancel. Well im not going to cancel it that's going to be a mess if they don't give it to me because i had going going to night of joy and the revolve tour a LONG time ago and if they said yes they shouldn't have to do that. We will just have to see what happens...Anyways so after that i had to watch a video on bagging since im a bagger it was like a sports show but instead of sports it was all on bagging and customer service which was kinda interesting. Anyways so after that i went to the front and Peter trained me how to bag and such. It was fun in the beginning but then when lunch time came it was another story...I had lunch and some of the managers were in there....This one manager was talking about the hurricane and that he saw a guy on the tv playing the sax and he said that he should turn it over tomorrow [which was today] and make it a snorkel. That was so Rude i cant believe a person would be that cold hearted especially a MANAGER.I know why arent perfect but you would think he would have more compassion on people when he knows what its like to have a hurricane come through. Then they were talking about beer and drinking and stuff ,i just wanted to run out of there i should have since you can but it gave me an idea of how they really are which makes me sad.I'm not juging them but that's just wrong what they were saying and made me uncomfortable. Anyways there was a lot of people there that are baggers like me and they were picking on me saying do this and that when i was,they dont do what they are supose to then they try and tell me thats just wrong. then when i didn't think that the guy wanted to be taken out they yell at me.Im not worring about it though i know im doing what im supose to so thats all that matters. See there was this guy that was in the automatic wheel chairs and he looked like he was doing fine on his own ,that he didn't want to be taken out.See we have to take the peoples carts and start walking out the door to put the stuff in their car. I didn't think he needed help even though he was in a wheelchair he looked like he got it under control. Well one of the cashers called another bagger over saying that to go help him. So then the one she called over said she can, meaning me. So i just said i didn't think he needed help. Anyways so i walk out and the guy looked sad and looked like he was wiping a tear away. I still feel so bad i never wanted to hurt the guys feelings. Its just you cant tell if the customers want you to take the cart or not and didn't know what we were suppose to do with the ones that were in the automatic wheelchair. :( When i told my parents i just cried, i'm an emotional person and when people are hurt im hurt. I never wanted to hurt the guys feelings. Other than that its an ok job. When you bring out the people some of them tell you their whole life story so im able to then try and add Christ in there. Like today they were saying that they were sick or hurting or about the hurricane and so i just said ill pray for them and that all you can do really with hurricane Katrina is to just pray. So im just trying to implant something's of God in there. So what i learned today that you should first pray in the morning to help lord guide you in your convos where he wants them to go. I always pray in the morning if i didn't i would have a messed up day, But i hardly pray for him to guide me with my convos which i should today wouldnt have been a decent day if I didnt pray and ask for his guidance with the convos. Also that anywhere you are you can share Gods love but only with his help of course:) lastly to always be alert with customers.

anyways hope everyone is doing great.Remember to keep the hurricane people in your prayers they will need it.
