REAL LIFE ENTRY
Okay peoples it's been a while since I actually wrote a real-life entry so I thought it was time to rectify that. :) I have BIG NEWS!
After TWO YEARS of applying, I finally got a job with the lovely people who employ my daddy and I think basically owns America at this point... WALMART! I'm a temporary cashier at the moment, but I am trying my hardest to get to stay.
I had orientation two weeks ago from last Tuesday and I actually started working on the register 'live' Thursday and went completely solo on the next Tuesday (I had three days of live customers with a trainer, basically). I love it! The CSMs (Customer Service Manager) are all really nice (well, with one exception... but she's all right) and willing to help with any questions... and while it is a lot of stuff to learn, once you learn it the job is really not that difficult. Plus I love it because you're busy almost the whole time and the time just flies by. Oh, and the best part is that they are very strict about breaks, lunch and not working off the clock! I mean seriously--if you stay home sick and they call to ask you a question you have to fill out a time adjustment form to get paid for the call! I have been majorly screwed about working off the clock before so I definitely appreciate their policy.
So far I absolutely love my job! And I just happened to look up and I gotta go--I want to have time to relax at home before I have to go to work (2-11)... So I will leave you with my favorite song of the moment (and the song I want played at my funeral).
That song is also like my theme song for this past year... I screwed up so much and I'd like to think that people can forget about that when I'm gone (leave out all the rest). Thankfully God has helped me move past all of that and I am slowly but surely getting my life back together now.
I'll try to update more often, I promise! Have a great day, lovelies!
