Yay Me!

Yay! I've been having a good week at work so far I guess (Considering the talk my boss had with me considering the new assistant manager). The target is much lower than last week, so it's easier to reach. I'm not sure how I did on Monday, but yesterday I met my target! My target was 1984 and I had 2805 (somewhere around there). Today, my target was 1960 and guess what? I only had 1905! If I had kept up with two of my customers, i would've gotten two more sales! That would have been 200 more! Oh well.

Way to go Linda! I was never good at sales and I always hated target goals. I fixed that problem by getting out of retail... now I have a job where I stare at a computer screen the entire time I'm at work. Not sure if it is better... but whatever works I guess. I thought you were gonna become a Librarian or some such thing. Did I just make that up?

P.S. You are putting me to shame. Look at all these posts!! Everytime I come and check your blog, there are like 3 new ones. Keep it up... somebody has to post =)

Melina... you're right... I'm starting to dislike having target goals too. But hey, I like my job. I like having weekends off and being able to take time off for combined meetings and such. Hopefully I can do really well the next two weeks. I hope ya'll pray for me because I'm behind by about 2000 from my target to make the month. The first week or two of January was really hard. We had really high targets, like 2600, and I hardly got close enough. But, our targets have been going down, so hopefully I can make enough to cover the first two weeks.

Maybe now I won't feel so bad

I figure I'll get one or two mean/rude customers a week. Yesterday I got two in one day. Fortunately, I only had one today and it wasn't till the end of my shift. Well, I got home and I saw I had an e-mail from Groupon advertising their special for Dodger tickets for the two day games on Wednesdays during the next homestand. I thought about it. Last time I checked it out, it came up to 13.90 just for my ticket. I coughed up the $14 for the Saturday game anyway at the Stadium. If I go to the stadium to my tickets, I can get top deck seats for $12 instead of paying $14 for the reserve ticket. The Groupon says it's $7 but there's about an additional $7 in fees you still have to pay. Plus, if I go when the team is on the road, I get to see my favorite ticket seller. While on Groupon, I noticed an advertisement for a competitor's deal. I checked out the competitor and looked at their FAQ, prices, and "reviews". Then I went on Yelp and really looked at their ...

Talk about a Manic Monday

Long long day today. Where do I begin? First off, I had to report for Jury Duty today. As I wrote earlier. They let us go for lunch around 12. I went down to the Los Angeles Mall because there was a Carl's Jr in their food court. Line was too long by the time I got there. I even skipped taking the elevator down to the ground floor by taking the stairs instead. No wonder my calves were hurting! They still do a little. Add the new shoes that aren't the best for walking shoes plus lugging my laptop bag around... I ended up getting spaghetti that came with salad and a slice of wheat bread. Too bad I didn't walk around the food court more. I would've found the Sbarro and gotten that instead of the random little cafe type place I ended up at. I should found Ruth and asked her where she was going to lunch. Turns out, one of the ladies from church was in the same jury pool I was. She caught me during the break but when they dismissed us for lunch, she left before I could find h...

At First Sight

“ I needed to be part of a story I know would end happily. ” Allie Parker, pg. 83 “ Ask me Craig! Ask me if I’m doing anything New Year’s Eve! I know it’s stupid and old-fashioned, but I’m one of those girls who like to be asked out by a guy. ” Julia Parker, pg 184 So, I just finished reading “At First Sight” for the umpteenth time. Last time I think I threw it against the wall. Don’t get me wrong. I love the story. I love Allie and Ben and Tim and Julia and Craig. I hate to be all “woe is me” in this entry… but man … that book sure brought on an onslaught of feelings. Mostly the kind where I feel hopeless. Of course I have been feeling hopeless for awhile now. It’s something that keeps coming back. It hasn’t gone away and I don’t know if it ever will. See… times like these I need another Parker figure in my life. That’s all I really need… really. Just an assurance that one day I will find that special someone someday. Partly, I can agree/relate with Allie. Maybe that’s why I r...
