Yo. I thought I’d be too tired to post...and I am really tired, but I’m more sore than anything so, I can still hobble over to the computer.
Work was still terrible, but since there were so few customers, there was less walking around. Less walking around = easier to forget about aching feet...sorta. Holly showed me something about the discount tables where we’re supposed to pile fabric on it. I was informed that these tables were actually supposed to have some semblance of order. The bolts of fabric were supposed to actually have been stacked in straight stacks with the prices facing out. The 45 inch fabrics are on one side, and the 60 inch fabrics are on the other. I stared out in the 45 inch pile. I went to the first stack (or what should’ve been a stack) and started at the bottom and worked my way up. I then proceeded to do the same till they were all right. I then leveled out the stacks. Holly actually made Mrs. Marry Anne come over and look at it. She said it was ‘really good’. When Holly left Mrs. Marry Anne looked at me and said, “Holly never compliments anyone!” I was a tinsy bit proud of that step.
Another thing I forgot to mention about yesterday...my big toe on my left foot. When I got in Wednesday my feet were killing me, and Dad offered to massage them for me. Well, while he was doing that, I noticed something on my left big toe. It looked like a black line of something on or under the nail. So I got under a light with a pointy-tipped file and dug under the nail a bit. Now, for some of you squeamish people, that might seem painful, but for me, it isn’t. I’ve been biting my fingernails into the quick since I was a little girl, and I’ve been meticulous about keeping my toe nails clean for forever and a day. So I dug under a bit and then when I pulled the nail file out a bit I realized exactly what the foreign substance was. Blood. It wasn’t even dried yet. It was in a line down the length of my toe too. Way I figure it, I was probably hard on my feet at work, and this was their way of giving me a hint. I don’t have any idea how I’m supposed to get it all out though...
Other than bonding with my fellow wage-slaves and working my legs into achy spasms, tonight was just another night. But the work night isn’t as good as what came before it. Not long after I’d concluded my last journal entry Mom and Dad came home. They said they’d found me a job. And I was pretty much like, “...” They said that the people over at the place they bought their new lawn mower need an office worker really badly. Just computer work, nothing else. They need someone to answer phones and work the computers and keep their records organized. Now, I had my doubts, but after a while I realized something...
I’ve always had a serious lack of faith in myself, but since these people are willing to train me, I don’t see any problems. I went and handed in my resume just before work and discussed a few things with the head guy over there.
He said that it might take a month, two at the most, but he was very interested in having me. He said they’d even clear out a space and give me my own office.../sniff. My own office. Just the thought makes me slightly giddy. So I told him I looked forward to hearing from him, and he said he would give me a call when he had everything worked out. An actual office job. I don’t even care that it’s in a lawn mower, car parts place. If I have my own office and the boys do all the unloading and loading, I’m fine. Mom says we should think about it and pray about it...but I really want it. Sure, I’m willing to wait and see what time tells, but if it’s not for me, I hope the door closes quickly. Because I don’t want my hopes getting up just to be dashed.
Black&White 2 has not come in yet. Big surprise there. This morning when I checked it said it had gone from Kentucky to Mississippi. Today is says it went from Kentucky to Tennessee to Mississippi, but either way you look at it, it’s still in Jackson! Oh well, I did say I wanted it this way. I actually think it’s extremely funny.
Thanks to all of ya’ll who realized and remembered that today was my birthday. I got a few e-mails from some friends I hadn’t heard from since forever and a day, and it was real nice knowing they still remembered.
Well, that’s all for tonight I suppose. Goodnight everyone.
