I'm waiting on something to stop and something to begin. My patience is limited but I'm praying God will replenish my patience and peace before the weekend gets here. I really need all the patience I can get right now. Waiting to start a job is so frustrating. I wish this world wasn't so unclean and drug testing weren't necessary.. but it keeps us honest.. so I guess it's for the better. So with that said, I went in for my drug test yesterday and it was an in-store mouth swab test. I've never done one like that before but it seemed very efficient. I hope the test gets shipped early and I hear back from them before Monday.. which is the day Bonnie said I'd hear from them.
After I get the go ahead, I'll go Tuesday and Wednesday for a Introduction to Publix seminar like thingie. I'm still not quite sure of what it will really be about but I was told it was sort of like a welcoming to Publix. THEN, I'll get trained as a cashier in-store and hopefully be working as soon as possible. Jayne said I'd probably get trained in cashiering before the Meal Specialist could come in to train me in the Apron's which is completely fine cause I'll be cashiering more than working in the Apron's station.
Today I just tried to read up on Publix via the Publix website and it was really helpful. I learned a lot about all that the Apron's employee's do. I mean my responsibilities will be awesome and hopefully not a job at all. I learned that Publix originated in Florida, in 1930 and it is mostly a south east grocery store. BUT it is a Fortune 500 company and on Fortune's top 100 best places to work so I'm extra excited to make my own opinion. I already love to shop there and the Publix located a few blocks from me has stocked their store so I can have lunch meats, and sausages without MSG and sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite which I am allergic to. They have also brought in more Gaterade flavors since they had only 5 when they opened which was simply UNCOOL! :)
Oh! I had purchased Bistro Crocs for work/school which have the slip resistant bottoms and no holes on top, but when Jayne was going over the uniform she said no Crocs. I know I can still wear them for school though so they will not go unworn. After my dad's doctor appointment Tuesday afternoon, we went shopping and decided to give Rack Room Shoes another chance. I tried on ALL the solid black shoes in the women's department and when nothing felt or looked nice, I ventured over into the men's section and found a pair of Nike's that I liked but the smallest size they went down to was a 7 1/2. I thought I was going to leave empty handed until my dad disappeared and came back with what I thought was a smaller size from the back but turned out to be the boy's version in my size! It was practically the shoe and I loved it. It made my foot look so narrow and cute. Ha! I wore them today for a few hours and while making dinner and my feet don't hurt at all. :)
The real test will be that first day. I don't expect to feel fine and dandy considering how long it's been since I've worked but I certainly hope I can feel my toes by the end of my shift. :)
I guess I'm the new "Waitie Katie". But even since I started writing this blog, I feel a little less restless so I can foresee some relief soon. I can see the light. :)
I pray these fires and this smoke subsides soon. I know some people with awful asthma and it is really affecting them. Rain is all I can think about when I look outside these days. My flowers really prefer the rain to water from the hose.. ;)
God bless all!
