Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It’s off to work I go, Weekly Playlist

 

This was written last night, I just didn’t publish it before I went to bed. Oops :P

Hey all! So I wanted to just check in and let everyone know how work has been.

Yesterday was my first day and I had to go in at 6am. We were told to dress down because we were going to get dirty and they were right. We were moving product into the store, and we had to unload the truck move it out of receiving, into the store and then unloading off the cart and put it in its category where we would unbox it later.

I was unloading the cart into the store, and it was hard. we were throwing boxes and dropping them and everything but it was okay because the boss lady said I could :) Haha who’s boss says hey chuck that box over there?

We moved over 2000 boxes and I handled at least 1/3-1/2 of them myself. and some of them were heavy! By the time I got off work my arms hurt so mad I nearly cried every time I moved. Plus side? I showed my boss that I work really hard and I became her partner in unloading :)

I went to take the bus home after my 8.5 hour shift but I went the wrong way to the bus stop so I had to walk all the way around again and then when I got to Freddy’s I had to walk home and that sucked. When I got home I showered, ate some food, and fell asleep on the couch.

My mom was nice enough to get me flowers for my first day of work. Then we had Chinese food for dinner and strawberry milkshakes (with fresh strawberries) for dessert. It was actually a really awesome way to end the day.

*Note: I found at least 3 cuts and scrapes, and upwards of 6 new (big) bruises today from unloading freight*

I had to be into work at 10 today and all I really did all day was move like shoes next to each other which involves move 12 boxes per shoe. Not fun. Then clearance tags, then cleaning. Our store was essentially done so I got to go home a half hour earlier than I was supposed to but it was still an 8 hour day.

Then I found out that I work 12-6pm tomorrow and that’s it for the week. When the As. Manager Elsy saw my schedule she was like “I don’t like that that’s all you’re working. Come in tomorrow and we’ll fix it for you.” I was like Okay!

Our store opens on Thursday and I wanted to show you guys how it’s looking so I took a few pictures. Now please note it isn’t finished, but it is located where the Tanasbourne library once was.

When I unboxed this I immediately thought of Alexa Sherrick :)

The sky after work. So beautiful

So even though it’s painful I still love my job and I love the people I work with. Plus I’ve decided that this job is going to tone up my arms ;)

So that’s it because I need to get to bed early so I can catch up on some sleep, but I want to leave you with this weeks playlist. It’s a mix of old, new, indie, rock, pop, etc. It’s kind of awesome. (Yes I know I missed a playlist or two)

  2. Uh, of course we are Rosencrantz. We are the same person. That's why our thoughts and actions are so alike. And they are even sassier in person. You need to come into work to see them.
