Random Trip to Meijer

So, John and I did not want to go home after going to Denny's, so we went to Meijer and we found a few interesting things:

For
jgkimmy
'cause I know how much she loves converse. It's a planter btw.


Next to the converse planter I found the fattest squirrel ever! Some of you might not know how much I love squirrels...but I do. I almost bought it until I discovered it was $18.00!!


We found a camouflage (sp?) crock pot to which John remarked "Mom! I can't find the crock pot again!!"


This sign was down the "ethnic" food isle at the store. You know, the isle that has Mexican and Chinese foods. Well, apparently "Southern" is now an ethnic group.


And this is how we found this poor giraffe. Poor little guy.

In other news: I had lunch with James yesterday. It went well actually. Slightly awkward, and we haven't talked since then yet. But Kris agreed that if it had been Jason that broke up with James instead of James breaking up with Jason then I shouldn't give him another chance. But since it ended the way it is, then giving him another chance is okay. Not that if Kris had disagreed with me then I wouldn't try to pursue this friendship. It's just nice knowing he's behind me on this.

Also, I got a new printer today. It is wonderful!! I've never seen pictures printed so crisply! It's a HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One. I <3 it much.

That's about it for now. :D

You Know You're Working Too Much When...

So, I was in line at Moe's for some lunch with John today when my cell phone rang. Here's how I answered it:

"Thank you for calling...oh. Hi."

I answered the phone as though I was at work. Gah! Thank God I didn't work tonight and don't work tomorrow. Apparently I need some time off.

Last night work was much better than Tuesday. For one thing...the registers worked! Well, actually, that was the only thing that was better...but it was a HUGE thing!

After we closed Dee (who actually closed for once!) was closing down the registers. She got the first two down, but then couldn't get the rest of them. Barbara had to come help. Finally, they were shut down, and we went back to bag up our drawers.

While in the office, I kept asking Dee "dumb" questions. I was tired, and nothing was sinking into my brain apparently. As Dee left the office to get the reports she said to the rest of the people in the office, "If Tracy asks any more dumb questions just smack her."

That honestly almost made me cry. I'm trying so hard to do everything right, and I was taught as I grew up that there are no such things as dumb questions as well as that it is better to ask 100 times until you understand than to not ask and do it wrong.

Okay, so we clocked out after that and were headed towards the door when Delphine said to me, "Tracy...there's still ribbon in the wood aisle." So I turned around to face her and said, "There are other people in this store Delphine. I'm not the only one...so why don't you tell everyone else? They all need to know too." So she turned around to face the rest of the day side crew and sarcastically yelled, "There's ribbon in the wood aisle!"

I was honestly livid. Turns out, Kate was there last night to buy something right before we closed. So she walked out with me as we all left. After everyone else was gone I started bitching at her about how sick and tired I am of Delphine picking on me and only me about the store looking like "shit."

(As a side note, Kate and Delphine are pretty good friends, and Kate and I are good friends too. Delphine and I used to get along fine.)

Kate said she wasn't sure why Delphine was just picking on me, but she did say that Delphine is supper stressed out right now and told her that she was about ready to "walk."

Anyway, Kate said she was on her way to Sonic to get a Slushi. I said I was hungry but was broke and so she said she'd give me a couple bucks for something to eat. We're always buying each other food and stuff, so it wasn't a big deal, even though she's my boss. Well, she took out her wallet and all she had were 20s. So she handed me a 20, and I refused at first, but then she said, "You'll just owe me. I'm not hurting for cash right now, so it's okay. You need to get something to eat and relax." So I took the money and went at got Wendy's (my all time favorite!) and went home.

Now, on a completly unrelated note. I am without a computer until at lest tomorrow night...might be longer. My computer is showing me the "Blue Screen of Death" every once and a while...so I need to take it in to have it checked out. My parents, who bought me the computer a few years ago for a b-day gift, agreed they'd pay up to $200.00 for repairs since I have to have the computer for school. So I'm going to call Up-Tech, who we've used before, tomorrow, to see what's up and how much it may cost to fix it.

So in the mean time I'll be using my parent's computer upstairs.

Okay, so, I think I'll be heading to bed shortly. Night!
