What a day, what a day

First of all, it started off with a staff meeting at eight. During the said staff meeting, Mariam decides to ask about when you start helping a customer, but then get busy to check on customer, and someone else helps them. Who does the sale go to? She said she tries to be fair, but gets mad when people steal her sales. EXCUSE ME?!?!? Didn't she do this to me on Tuesday? First of all, I gave her a chance to help the lady she was helping. She wasn't busy on Tuesday. So what? I didn't intentionally try to steal her sale. I was just trying to help the customer because she certainly wasn't helping her. Besides, in the end, she rang her up under her number anyway. AND on top of that, she TOOK MY sale, which she "thought" was hers. Okay, so we don't work on commission, but still... I was so mad. That was the point I wanted to make, but I couldn't get a word in edgewise. Well, sorta the same point. Because she was supposed to make up the sale to me. HOW IS A $50 SALE SUPPOSED TO MAKE UP A $250 SALE??? LOL, at least there were some funny points in the meeting. Like when I was spouting statistics on everyone. After the meeting, I was still fuming. And on top of that, I had to come back to work at 4:30 to close with, guess who, Mariam. GRRR.

So, we went to church. Had lunch. Practiced for the Bible Bowl. I left at four so I could get my mocha. While I'm getting my mocha, I see that I have a missed call from work and a voicemail. I go, "oh no. Are they calling to say I don't have to come in?" If only it was that. They were calling to say I was late. Guess what? I wasn't schedule to come in at 4:30. I was supposed to be there at four. Oops. My mistake. It's okay, because we didn't leave till eight anyway. GRRRR. By then, I was so tired. And I had to work with HER the entire time. GRRR

Sounds like this Mariam gal isn't such a peach to work with. She's got a lot of nerve bringing that up in your "staff meeting". As if others were in the wrong. I hate when that happens!

So I see you caved and now are on the Bible Bowl team. Guess I'll have to take lots of pictures in your absence = )

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...
