My uncle died last night. Alone in a chair. Gotta go be with my mom

 

Well it has been craaaaazy here in the Foolie house. I started my new job on the 21st. Learned the registers. I was scheduled from Noon until 5pm. I spent a couple hours watching and learning then when the person that was training me went to lunch I was put on my own register. The next day I was off then back to work Tuesday from 10am until 5pm. I was on my own register for most of the day and for part of it I was the only cashier! Hmmm. Was this general practice or where they just showing the confidence they had in me? Hmmm The day after that I got to play on the sales floor and set some planograms. Apparently I work too fast for them because they ran out of things for me to do. I also got to cover lunch breaks on the registers, all alone again. This time I was asked to answer the phones as well… I had to ask then how to put a call on hold. On Friday, my last day of the week, I got to put out ornaments. As well as run back and forth to the registers when they got busy. I was asked repeatedly how I liked what I was doing. I found out yesterday that the reason I was asked was that they had just spent a week training someone who couldn’t handle the busy Saturday and quit. Obviously not cut out for retail!! The fun thing about working until 5 pm is racing home to drive The Drama Queen up to school for play practice. Then I hurry home to get The Karate Kid fed (after BG check and insulin) then we chill for a few hours and then it is back to school to get The Drama Queen, and sometimes her friend, after BG check, bedtime snack, and insulin. I am getting a little tired of the whole “and sometimes her friend” thing. They want to car pool, but will only drop off and not pick up. Bullshit people!

Also I have decided to close comments on all entries after a week. I am tired of the stupid spamish comments on posts over a week old with links to shit. They do searches for “Remember my information” and “ Notify me of follow-up comments”. I usually delete them and/or leave some nasty comment in place of their “Oh wonderful article” comment…. they even do this on Memes and Mutterings. Yeah take a hike!

The tenants were supposed to move out on Sunday. They are still here! I guess they wanted their new landlord to put in new floors and she hadn’t done that yet. From what the kids say Mr Tenant wants to sue… yeah so do I if their asses aren’t out by tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Oh so what else? Not much I can think of… OH I almost forgot!! BOOBIETHON!! If I have time I will be going pink for the duration… well pinker! I recycled an old template! YAY! I won’t have much money to donate this year so I am thinking I will have to show the boobies! Hey why not right? It’s a worthwhile cause!! So how bout you? Donate! $$ or Boobies!!

 

So about an hour after I left the place where I am now employed they received my background check back and called. Course I was out picking up The Drama Queen who stayed after school for some help with the teacher I mentioned a couple posts ago. By the time I got the message and got to call back the woman had left for the day. I tried her this morning, but was thinking in the back of my head that she had been there all week so far and was probably off. I was correct, and of course she was to close tomorrow. So I was a little discouraged and settled in to wait some more… Then the phone rang and it was the store manager who was very excited to ask me to start on Sunday if that worked for me… of course I said yes. I will go in tomorrow to fill out all the loverly paperwork but I am officially employed now. Yay! One more stress off my back! Phew! He also said that we would talk again in 90 days and see how things looked for the both of us and discuss any other opportunities.. for which I am torn, but try to keep an open mind. Who knows where things will be in 90 days given our current economy right?

Now I have to figure out how I can go out and get a couple of work outfits since I have nothing in their colors in my wardrobe…
