monday night, while i taking a smoke break in at work, i busted a guy that walked right out our front door with a cartful of unpaid groceries, around $150 worth. *pats self on back* i felt pretty good about that!
while doing laundry today at brainwash, i ran into a guy i work with and he shared his bottle of wine with me. what a nice guy!
today, my plan is to go to the bank and then walgreens (done!), do some laundry (done!), finish up the thank you cards and clean this mess. we'll see how far i get! at least two of my four goals are complete. also tonight there is a going away shindig for N from work. she's leaving us (the bitch ;) for greener pastures. i am happy for her but bummed such a fun person will no longer be gracing us with her presence at work. i want to make a real effort to stay in contact with her. ya know, you go through life meeting so many people and there are those few that you feel you definitely should stay in touch with? ya, that's N. i just have to remember i work tomorrow afternoon and must get in a good 7 hours of sleep!
reviews are coming up at work this week and next. i'm pretty sure i'll be getting a decent raise since one of the bosses told me that all the bosses agree that i rock. lol, he even used that term! :D i'm pleased with myself and my performance at work. i really want to stay in a job for longer than two years. yes, my longest one job has never breached the two year mark! i hope to change that with this job. i feel i can do it. i just have to let them know when i'm getting bored and need new things to learn and do. i think if they offer me a fulltime (i.e. manager position) i'll take it. more hours but more money. and i only work 35 hours a week right now. i can handle more hours per week. and we can certainly handle more money coming in!
for a while i used to feel down about working in retail (and in a grocery store toboot!) my grandma keeps asking me if i'm looking for a real job...i think she means a sit-down desk job. and i have to explain to her that i like my current job (fake as it is ;) just fine and want to stay. manual labor suits me. i think about the cushier desk jobs i've had in the past and i cringe. i was a horrible worker, calling in sick a lot and slacking off while i was supposed to be working and i hated the way being like -that- made me feel about myself. cubeland just rubs me the wrong way, so i'll stick to working my ass off and coming home with aches, pains, and sometimes bruises. i'm happy and that's all that matters, really. grandma is starting to get it.
