Weekly update

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I don’t know what to say, I guess work has gone on much as it has since I started. Smoothie making is getting easier for me but I still just don’t like to do it.
I have had a brush with my boss but it’s all ok now. I’m not going to worry about it and carry on at work. Oh well I think we’ll all be ok.
Next week I work 11-3 on Wednesday, 10-2 Thursday and 12-5:45 on Saturday. If you want to come and visit me you are more than welcome to. If you do so that would be very nice of you.
I have learned a lot about life this week. I really don’t care to get into too much detail here. I just learned that I have to just try and be a good person

Marketplace is the name of the place I work

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

I’m really liking my job. There is never a dull moment there, and there is always so much to do. I do miss Erik when I’m there. I made my first smoothie alone today.
I have a lot of things going on around me. I’m almost done with school and hopefully I’ll be all graduated by August. That is not why I posted today though.
I work on Monday from 12-4, Tuesday from 12-4 and Saturdy from 2-6. I guess that’s about it.

You’re welcome Marketplace

So it’s been a hard time for Marektplace. Not selling like we used to, before I was there. Until they sent me out sampling with a margarita pizza yesterday. I brought so many people there. I’m excited to see where I’m going to be in the future.
I’m hoping that I’m going to do a good job. That is my plan.
I don’t know my hours for next week because I forgot to pick up a schedual for next week. Stay tuned for my hours when I get them tomorrow.

I feel like I’m getting good at my job

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

Today I went to work as normal. I was helping all sorts of people. I guess I’m really starting to like my job. I feel like I know what I’m doing.
I was making up my sampling tray for the second time, when my Erik appeared behind me. I was busy doing that and then I went out sampling. I’m not sure if I like sampling or not, but you do as you are told at work.
I came back and I got to wait on Erik. That was a lot of fun. Please come to Marketplace if you are in the neightborhood. I work from 11-3 on Thursday and from 2-7:45 on Saturday. I was not on the schedual but my manager fixed it for me.

One down and a new one in a few days

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

During the weekend of the huge snow storm in the one that occured the weekend of March 2, 2007, Erik and I went to his parents’ house so that we could avoid having to look for a parking space since parking is pretty difficult around here as it is. When I came home my beloved kitty, Ashes, started lying in the pile of litter just outside the box. She stopped eating and I thought that she was just mad at us for leaving. I noticed that she had a wound on the side of her body that wouldn’t go away. On March 6 I called the vet and we had planned on taking her there the next day. I left for school after being with her constantly, I came home from school that day and found her dead under the bed. This was very sad for me as I had gotten Ashes when I was in 6th grade from my mom and dad. She was my best friend and before we got the dog she slept in my bed under the cover right next to me. R.I.P. Ashes, I love you.
I’m not sure exactly what year she was born because my mom found her so 199?-2007. You will always be remembered and loved by those who knew your. Maybe I’ll post a pic of her later when I find one.
On Saturday March 10, Rachel took me to the human society in Golden Valley. I didn’t know where she was going until we got lost. When we got there it was so busy and there was so much going on. She looked at me and told me that I got to pick out a kitty. I found only one cat that would work. She was a little older and fatter than I wanted. She is 5 ½ years old. I brought her home and now she is a part of our family. She can’t replace Ashes and I don’t want her to. She is a sweet kitty that is very friendly. She is not to found of Sox who is Ashes son. Welcome to the family Stardust.

It seems that all of my posts are directed at Marketplace

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Let me start off by saying that I no longer feel lost at my job anymore. It’s almost a comfort to be there. I mean I miss Erik, but what wife wouldn’t miss her husband???
I love Erik very much and things are going well for us we’ve been married a little over 8 months, 8 months and 4 days to be exact. I feel that I couldn’t be happier with my life right now. I feel that I’m in a good spot.
School is going well, hopefully I’ll be graduating in August with just my A.A. Degree. I just need to get into one more class for the summer and then hope and pray that I pass. I feel like my life has some direction now, but I don’t know what that direction is just yet.
I just wanted to update a little bit about Marketplace. I miss my old job and I don’t expect the job I have now to take it’s place. I feel that it probably won’t. Then again I can’t tell you for sure either. I’m just happy to be back in the work world again and to help out with the bills. Food is a very hard job because let me tell you hungry people aren’t always that nice to you. But I guess that is one of the things that I still have to get used to.
Next week I don’t work that much mostly due to the fact that Macy’s isn’t open on Sunday due to the fact that it’s Easter. I work 12-4 on Tuesday, my first Tuesday shift ever, and 11:30-3:30 on Saturday.
