I'm tired.
I hurt.
The muscles in my body wont move.
My hands are still bleeding.
All the blisters on my feet have popped.
Why am I doing all this?
Oh yeah, I'm getting paid!!
I should maybe explain, huh?
I got a job at Hobby Lobby. I work every single day from 7 to 7 until October 18th when we open. I started Tuesday and man, I'm tired.
I've built shelves and walls and board things, and pegs and everything else I swear. So now the place is looking like a store. YAY! But we aren't done. Now it's time to stock all the shelves that I spent that last few days cleaning.
Some random things about work to tell.
I have many nicknames. Here are a few....
"Expert" > the first few days no one could remember anyones name. I was the one who knew how to do everything so everyone would just shout EXPERT!!! And I would come and help.
"Diamonds" > a few of the girls think my eyes look like diamonds, so yeah...it's kinda weird...
"Mike" > a girl I'm now friends with, Chani, was walking behind me saying, "Hi....Hi....Hi....Hi..." but I heard "Mike...Mike...Mike..." (who is the boss's boss) and I was like, that's not me...
"Holli" > Yesterday we got our numbers that we punch into the computer for our time card. There was no way on this Earth that I could've remembered it so I wrote it on my arm. Every one said I looked like a Holocaust survivor. But that was too long, so it's Holli. O_o
And my favorite...
"Muscles" > Sean is my buddy! Even though he nailed my finger to the wall....long story. ANYWAY! I was carrying a 70lb box and Sean saw me and called me Muscle Woman. So now when he needs me to help him carry something he just yells Muscles.
The first day Lani wore a pedometer. She worked from 11 to 7 and walked a total of 6.8 miles. That same day I worked 7 to 7. I wonder how much more I walked...
I've only broken 2 panels of glass in 5 days!! Isn't that happy? Well, not for my bleeding hands.....BUT atleast I haven't broken as many as every one else!!!!
I LOST 5 LBS IN 5 DAYS!!!! OK, now THAT IS HAPPY!!! :DDD
The boss, Perry, said I'm one of his favorite people out of 70ish others!
And the best news? MY FIRST CHECK IS GOING TO BE OVER 700 DOLLARS!!!!!! tee hee :D
But I'm tired. And nothing is really making sense at this moment so I'm going back to bed.... If any of you are bored at anytime during the day, any day feel free to text me!
Wow, what a busy job but I am so happy for you! I am so glad you got a job. You are going to have so many fun stories to tell once this is over! Best of luck! You can text me anytime you are bored as well. I usually can send a text back within a half hour of getting one. See ya girl! Good luck and don't die!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a job. And even though you're so tired it sounds like you enjoy the work well enough. If only because you seem to be doing so well and it makes you proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteOf course you're his favorite.
Where is this new store located? Is this hobbies as in model rockets or scrapbooks?
I hope you are able to get some rest.
We do have model cars, i'm not sure about rockets though. and we have plenty of scrapbook stuff, holiday crafts and decorations, and anything else a craft store would have. It's in Orem where Circut City used to be. This is a secret but we actually open on the 12th. and the grand opening is the 18th. :D
