My Job

     I have a job at the store here!! I think what made me want to job is that i finally realized Im not going to be "babied" anymore. I have to take over for my responsibilities now, and be a bit more mature. Another reason would be that my sisters and siblings/ parents kept asking me that i should get a job after school, because Im always saying i wish i had money for that. So, they really motivated me.
          I was suppose to wait for her after work to file out the application, but I was to anxious so i went and got it after school. I only had to wait 2 hours, but i was so excited it probably would of taken forever. and filed it out a few days later i had to fill out more paperwork. Finally, i started that day on friday.
    I decided to work at the store because i didn't know where else to work for an after school job. Another thing would be my brother said that i should I'm really good at hand work. I wouldn't want to work with the people are barely know since its my first job i wanted to feel more comfortable about my co-workers. Next idea, it seemed really easy to learn all the basics about stocking and bagging. Last, but not least, i wanted to have fun while i am getting paid to do it.
    The training that i had to go through was my brother Jared teaching me how to stock. First, you have to play tetris with the boxes or whatever on to the cart. Then we would have to go up on the elevator, and go in the idle you were going to stock. Take it out look at the bar code and the date to make sure it wasn't old already. Next you look at the price tag to make sure the 4 digit numbers are correct.
     Then you have to stack them in a way. Like, from right to left and by the dates. It took me a long time to get that right so the first time i was probably just doing it any old way. Then one day i was a shadow over Binni watching her cashier. It seems really hard to get all the technics down.
     My responsibilities are that i have a good attitude with my co-workers and the costumers. I can not wear any kind of tight clothing i guess. Another thing is that I have to dress properly, but not like business. I can not bring any drama to work or at work. I have to be a hard worker and never quit doing anything. Another thing is that I have to be on time.
    What I like about my job is that it wasn't really that hard to get the hang of. The next thing is that I have my brother by my side to watch or help me. Since its like my only second week. Another reason would be Its fun putting stuff on to the cart and stocking them. On Saturday they kept throwing stuff at me to tests my skills i bet!
      But i was really scared because i was on a little ladder and i stacking paper towels downstairs on to this high shelf. It was making me sweat a little bit, because I'm scared of heights. I like that it wasn't so hard to get to know everybody, and learning how to do everything. Another thing is that i couldn't reach up there onto the shelf.
       The good things about making your own money is that you can buy your own clothes from the store, but it like costs a lot here.  Why i say that because its weird that we have skinny jeans and cute shirts at the store, and I've been really wanted to get them so bad. I saw a couple pairs of levi skinny jeans that are really cute that i want to get. They have this cute blue shirt that I want. I really need some pants and shirts though.
       Another good thing about getting money is that you can buy the food you want. For instance, i can buy me a bag of chips and some salsa. Thats like that mainly thing i like to eat, because its so tasty! Next, i love eating healthy stuff to like salads, mmm sandwiches, and everything you have to put in a salad. I can buy myself some drinks like that sobe mango fruit, and some energy drinks. These are the good things that come out of making your own money.

      Last week on the weekend, another one of my family members had passed away. In the summer, my papa passed away, and that was a hard time for me. Now, that my cousin, that I called my brother has passed away. He was only 25 years old. I think god take people that are really young and kind hearted. Michael Wesley Mandregan, personality was legit. He was loving, caring, and spontaneous. When he would come up somewhere he always filled the room with joy and laughter.
       Michael's funeral is on saturday. Most of my family are going to be their, except me! I cried yesterday because my dad and my sister left to go to the funeral. My sister knew that i really wanted to go. Why i really wanted to go is because I think it won't feel right not saying our good byes. I love how he always had a smile on his face. It breaks my heart that i cant see him.
      Another thing that i would like to talk about is my cold that has been killing me. I have had this cold for a few days, but its the second time that i have had this cold. But, this time its really worse. My cough just sounds all congested and everything.
       I have been taking nyquil, day and night. This has been helping me out a lot. I have a runny clogged up nose, and a high fever. The other thing is that i have a headache too. If i cough to hard i will throw up. I haven't been eating that much either. After i got the Nyquil and been taking it makes me feel a lot better. But i can finally taste, but i can barely smell.
       Today is Friday, and my cold isn't really that bad anymore. Im so glad that i am feeling so much better than in the beginning of the weak. I really thought that i was going to die. Another example would be that it felt like i had an a disease that couldn't be cured. But, thanks to nyquil and my body i am getting over this cold. Now, i just can not wait till I'm fully healed.

This week

      I was so happy yesterday that my nephew came in! It was so cute how we both ran to each other! It has been a long time since i have seen him. He was with all smiles and laughs, it was so cute! Janelle and Monty came in too! Now, I just have to wait for my sister and my lil baby nephew! Michael Avery is almost 7 pounds now.
       I literally  can not wait for my sister! She has been in anchorage for at least 4 months and I was only out there for a week! Which, I swear it did not feel like a week it felt like two weeks! I cant wait to meet my baby nephew for the first time! Its like an adrenaline rush, when you hold a baby so little. I don't know why though, but  i think it is because there are still just a little baby.
      This morning, I really want coffee! I haven't had coffee in the morning since i started driving myself down to school on the honda. I keep forgetting to grab one of my coffee cups and just be a pro riding down with one hand!? Just kidding that would be to "dangerous." But, I would still do it no matter what. I think coffee helps me through the mornings, and makes my day even better.
      Today is our Friday, you know why?! Because we have parent teacher conferences tomorrow! Which I am petrified right now because i just zoned out! I hope i done everything because I dont want my grades to be bad! I just hope our parent teacher conferences goes swell for everybody.
       My last paragraph is just me probably going to be talking about my day today. I really hope we go in the gym for gym class. I don't want to work out today, I feel to lazy for some reason. OH YEAH! That's right i didn't have any coffee today! But lets hope that this DAY goes good, and full of joy annd comfort! LOL
