Lava Lamps.......0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0ohhhhhhhhhhh
Hola readers of the occasional crowd. How goes it?
Well, I survived black Friday. Not as many people to deal with as I thought. I was amazed at how well I did. I went in from 2 - 10:30 that day. Most of the time was dealing with paperwork and all, but then I just greeted and helped people out. Saturday they started me on the register, in which I am deathly afraid of. That day I ended up missing $6.70 from the drawer. Everyone and their mom kept telling me to just take my time. I just hate keeping people waiting. You want people to come back for good service. Plus I was so nervous because of the stupid register. I hate it.
Sunday I went in and had the register again. It was a pretty long day, but I got better at working with the damn thing. There's just so much shit to remember. Especially with the punch cards and promotions and shit. It freaks me out trying to do it all at once. I also learned how to do a check that day. *Rolls eyes* I seriously hope I don't have to deal with a lot of them. You have to write 5 or 6 different things on the check after running it through a machine once or twice and blah blah blah.
So then, my supervisor checked my drawer before I left and told me that I was $10.00 short. I was like "What do you mean I'm 10 bucks short?" I wasn't yelling or anything. Actually I was quite calm during the conversation. He was like "Well, if you're missing a certain amount of money two days in a row, someone from corporate will usually come to the store and talk to you. Basically interrogate you and ask you questions, you know, make sure you're not stealing money or anything." I just nodded and was like "Well, sure. That's no problem." Then he smiled and was like "Naaah, I was kidding, you were even." I was gonna kill him, lol.
I love it there. Everyone that I've met there so far are so awesome! They were all so fun since the day I got there. I kid you not, every single one of us loves My Chemical Romance, and pretty much everyone is into H.I.M in one way or another, and I swear I'm the only one who didn't go to the damn Philly shows! There's Heather, Kelly and Brett who are my managers and supervisors. Then there's Erin, who was on her third day of working there on my first day, who is an absolute H.I.M fan! I've only worked with her for about a half an hour. We're never on the same shift. Then there's some girl Megan who I haven't met yet, and then there's Robbin. She's the woman who hired me, and also the "Big Boss" so to speak. She's actually kind of mean, but she does it in a nice way. It's the way she presents it.
Let's see, Brett is the only guy that works there. Heather and Kelly love me, haha. They were the girls that asked if the could keep me, and they were so happy when I got a job there, they're like "Oh yay! We wanted to keep you and we are!" They're so happy and chipper there. Not in a sickening way either. They're super cool people. I have some 8 1/2 hour days and some 5 or 6 1/2 hour days there. I hate being there for closing though. Clean up sucks! And actually this Saturday I'm there til 11:30 for holiday hours.
It's so funny to see all the stoners come in though. There was this one dude who was somewhere around my age and his eyes got super wide when he was talking to me, and he's like "Uh....where are your...uh...lights. You know those glow in the dark spinney lights that make your shirt turn purple." "You mean black lights?" "Oh yea yea yea, those things!" lol. With the stoner slow talk.
Oh and EW! There was some dude who came in today and I was chipper and all "Hi, can I help you?" and all that stuff and he said no, but as I was pricing things and doing whatever he was asking for my name so I told him. He spoke very low, so I had to ask him to repeat everything. He was asking me if I lived around there and if I was full time and this and that. Then he was like "I would like to talk to you some time. You are a nice girl." and so on. I was like "Aww, you're nice, but I can't." I just blurted out "Yea, I'm seeing someone. So......yea, sorry." Then he told me he was going to come up to the store to see me sometimes. I seriously attract the psychos. Dude, he was like a mid to late 30's early 40's, like Russian or Polish guy or something. He must have gotten burned on half of his face or something cuz it was all purple and odd looking. I don't care about that stuff like that customer wise, as mean as it sounds, but this dude was nasty. Ick. So I was hit on for the first time at the job. I'm sorry, but what the FUCK is wrong with me that I seriously attract the ugliest fucking psycho old men? Never any cute emo boys or anything like that, lol.
Then my old friend Brittney came in today with her boyfriend. Apparently they live together and they have a boxer dog. She's in the medical field. Something with paramedics I think. It was kind of odd without seeing her with her piercings. I didn't notice her at first. She seemed kind of different too, like she changed, in a good way. She just seems happier I guess. She asked me what else I was doing besides the job and I told her nothing she was like "*gasp* Girl, you need to be in school or something else like that." School just isn't something I can get into. I do sort of miss it, but not those stupid extra classes that I fail. My cousin and I talked about that at Thanksgiving. She hates her job, but it's money, ya know? And the both of us just can't seem to get into school. She went for a few months to college for Stenography. It didn't work out for her. She works at a bank now. As I always say "Maybe I'll go back to school in a few years or something, but I'd like to have a job and make some money for now." We'll see about that though.
So KMart decided to call me today wanting an interview tomorrow. Luckily tomorrow is my day off, but like they couldn't call soon enough, lol. I'm all happy with this job and the people and all, but it's a hassle to have people drive me an pick me up there all the time. I'm thinking that maybe they could hire me for the days I have off from Spencers. KMart is within walking distance of my house. Grrrr...I don't feel like getting up early for that shit, especially if they won't take me, but it's always worth a shot I suppose, but I doubt they'll take me.
I told my dad that sometime next week, whenever I have a day off I want to go for my permit again. Maybe I can actually pass this time. I have to re read the book again. I know I say it all the time, but I think I'm seriously serious about it now. I have a job [for a while anyway] but I think it's time to really get my life started. Even if I can't afford a car or something, it's good to know that I have one, especially for an emergency or something. I really need to start getting my fat ass up and out, doing stuff. I'm already buying stuff with my discount, lol. I bought Tony's Christmas gift. I got him a Nikki Sixx action figure. I also got fallen_fizzgig something, and I have a couple more small things to get. I bought my cousin a large metal street sign that says Boulevard of Broken Dreams with Green Day's logo on it. It's actually really cool. I'm thinking of yoinking one for myself. That's her all time fav. band. She's my mother's Godchild, so that's for her birthday, cuz my mom already got her a Green Day calendar for Christmas. Pretty much, for myself, I got a Fall Out Boy poster and a new bulb for my Lava Lamp [which I am enjoying right now.]
I'm also trying to plan the rest of the Christmas gifts I plan on getting with my first check. I am also planning on going straight to a place where they sell Sega Genesis games so I can Sonic 2, and possibly Street Fighter. I've really been in the mood to play both games. Hopefully I can find them. With my second check I want to check out the Pennsauken Mart and hopefully can afford this unicorn my mom has wanted for years. I'd probably be able to give it to her either right before or after her birthday, which is New Years Eve.
w0w, ok. That's a super long entry. I'm gonna shut up right now.
