Today was nice for several reasons... Like pretty much everyone else I was in awe at how nice the weather really was outside today. After what has seemed like years of cold and rainy days, we had sun... and warm temperatures! It was so surreal. As I walked into work today I noticed countless people who I could tell had left work a little early. Their cars had their sunroofs open, the convertible tops and windows rolled all the way down, radios blaring.
After working so late last night I woke up pretty late... like 8:30. Went downstairs and started on laundry, did some general around the house work. Checked my email, facebook, the usual. Spent some time with the cats, walked Yogi and then made myself some lunch. Got my fill of trashy E! shows as well, including Keeping up the Kardashians, etc.
Did some P90X before finally showering and getting ready at like 11. It was glorious to just kind of lay around and do nothing. Two late night 8 hour shifts back to back are hard... and I get another one tomorrow.
Around 12:30ish I got a phone call... needless to say my "25%" of Japanese heritage was more than enough to get me the Multicultural Internship with the University of Minnesota Extension Service. It's paid and it's in Fargo. Two wins right there. Although I like spending time at home in the summer... it hurts a lot too. I could go into great detail about this here but I want to get some sleep tonight so I won't bore you with that. Suffice it to say that if everything works out I'll most likely end up in Fargo starting in Mid-June.
Headed off to work for my 2:3shift, I walked again as always. It's beautiful out, why waste gas when I can get some much needed exercise and Vitamin D.
The shift was nice, it was easy that's for sure. 2:30-7. Man this would be a walk in the park compared to the 8 and a half hour shifts I'd pulled recently. I worked several registers, hopping around each time someone went home... filling spots until the entire evening shift workers arrived at 4. We weren't too busy, and unfortunately didn't have any especially memorable customers. I did have several issues though with the registers. They're getting old and get confused and forget things a lot, like how to keep my screen lit so I know how many cucumbers I just charged you for, and credit card numbers...requiring customers to re-swipe their cards several times.
Baker's is both good and bad at times. They treat you like crap but I've worked there for so long now I pretty much know the store's policies like the back of my hand. It's nice to not have to constantly be asking people questions about things.
Lots of people were getting things for graduation parties, etc. I sold lots of beautiful fruit and vegetable trays, fancy cakes, and tons of hamburger buns and paper plates. It's that time of the year. I'm surprised that my mom hasn't already started stocking up. We're expecting a TON of people for Cecily's party. Good. She needs all of the support she can get right now...
Tomorrow's itinerary: Take my mom to run some errands (her car is in the shop), go to garage sales to get needed items for next year (regardless of when I head back to Fargo, I need kitchen items for my apartment, etc.), hopefully hit up the gym shortly after and then work from 4:30-Midnight. Joy of Joys I get to close again.
I have Sunday off. My mom, Jim, and I are going to West Point for my cousin's 8th grade graduation and confirmation party. They're Catholic so I hardly know half of what's going on. They live on a farm though, with lots of... (you guessed it) CATS! As a matter of fact we got our two little cats from my Uncle Brad's farm nearly 14 years ago. It'll be nice to have a day off and see some family. I think I'll tell Baker's I can't work on Sundays. I'm working almost 60 hours a week between my unpaid internship and working at Bakers. I'm tired...
