Wow, it's been forever~

 Work is killing me. And I don't feel like I have the right to complain because at least I have a job. :\ Even if it's killing me. Strangers freak me ouuuuuuuuut~ O___O

There was this one lady with a foreign accent who came up to me and asked, "Do you know where we can find the watch? The watch?" Personal space meant nothing to her, she came six inches close to me and asked that. I was like O__________O *points*"Jewelry section."
Then there was this guy...I yelped loudly at him. But to be fair, it was his fault! I was in the girl's section, and he just creeped up on me.
"Excuse me miss, do you know where-"
"ACK!" *calms herself* "...yes, can I help you?"
It didn't help that he was like eight feet tall and built like a linebacker.

Then I said, "Yes ma'am" to this guy in line. It was only because I was looking at the lady behind him unloading her stuff, and she distracted me. (-__-;)

Another incident, which was actually funny, was a Japanese lady came into Target. As I was handing her the receipt, I bowed. She commented on it, and I said it's because I've been studying Korean & Japanese for so long that it's a habit. As she was leaving, she said "どうもありがとう!" I replied "안녕히 가세요!"

The upside to my job is that I really do like being helpful and useful.
The downside is that it leaves me so physically and emotionally drained that by the time I get off, I don't want to do anything else but go to sleep. I'm so worried about making even more mistakes and I get so nervous around strangers that I just feel so scared all the time. It's just really overwhelming for me. When I get home, I just put on my pjs, cry, and go to bed. I don't even feel like eating. If I can barely handle work, how will I be able to handle work and school next semester? And it's not like I can just quit, because now I have student loans from last year when I went to GA State.

And a final note: Excuse me miss, but I'm contractually obligated by the Target Corporation to be pleasant to their "guests". Just because I smile and say hello to your fugly boyfriend, it does not mean I am hitting on him. So stop giving me the stink eye.
I really wanted to say that in real life~UH, why didn't I!? Oh yeah, I wanna keep my job. XD

And on the bright side, I am making Christmas ~*MAGIC*~ Fuck Santa, he wish he could be this awesome... A lot of people are getting what they actually want! Only because I asked them. XD What? There's no law that says gifts have to be a surprise.

when real life strikes~
