Work, Work, Work

Yesterday I started on a roll of 4-of-5 days of work. It is crazy and i never seem to get out of there on time. I usually get out at around 10:50 pm. The store is going through a lot of constant changes. The company finds the things that are selling well and then they have to place it so that there is more room on the shelves for it and so that the customer can get to it easier. Along with that, the items that don't sell either get condensed or deleted from our inventory. Customers don't like it when these changes occur and i got an ear full last night when i was working with on one of these "resets" of product.
I usually don't mind it but for some reason this customer last night was really annoying me with her complaints. It isn't fun but it is what has to happen. Overall, i am enjoying my job but at the same time i cannot wait to quit and be a little more liberated. I guess that is understandable isn't it?

Change is hard for some people. I also get upset when things are moved around and I can't find them but I totally understand why they do it. Have you sold any vitamin water or M&Ms lately? :)

That is the way people are too. It is nothing that you will not encounter in the mission, that's for sure. Just keep on keeping on.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
