Ha! Sounds funny when I say that but I am now employed.. just sounds boring. I love that I have a job now. I will be able to contribute at home and save money for school. Publix seems like a great place to work and the other cashiers I worked with today are very very cool. :)
I started cashiering last tuesday afternoon after my computer training and then did 5 hours on the register Wednesday which was pretty tough. I haven't spent that long on my feet in a while.. at least not with out periodical trip from my kitchen to the couch for a break. My feet were a little tired but after an Advil and some of grandma's cooking and I was good as new. Got to spend the night with my cousins and then get some sun the next day. Great day off.
Today was my second full day of cashiering and it was a breeze. My lower back hurt a little around 4 but I pushed through it. I didn't give anyone wrong change and I only forgot to give someone a bag once but I caught him before he was out the day so it was all in all a great day. We have good baggers that show up out of no where when you need them and good managers that can always be reached when there's a problem.
Tomorrow I will be training with the Meal Specialist trainer for Apron's all day. I'll be at the store from 8:30am to 5pm. I am told that the woman is nice but a little demanding so I'm hoping she will be in a good mood tomorrow for me. :) I'm going to get in bed early enough tonight so I can be fully awake in the morning.. and I will be definitely setting the coffee maker up tonight so I can be alert along with awake. ;)
I met the weekday Apron's woman today. Her name is Lisa and she is very nice. She told me a little bit about how she works and how the meals are prepared. I found out that every Publix store makes the same meals day to day. I wish they made desserts but I'm sure they don't. There is a convection/ microwave oven, mini fridge and sink in the Apron's station and you do everything in the station.. including all the prep work. I'm pretty excited to get started.
On a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the best. I was at a 8.75 when I got home at 5:15pm. That was mainly due to being hungry but after having a snack/ small meal I'm feeling pretty good. Just relaxing on my awesome oversized chair, watching the news and checking my stuff online.
I'm waiting to hear from FSCJ about my Culinary application. I heard from a woman last Friday. I hadn't changed my major to Culinary Management so I went and handled that immediately. I really hope they contact me early next week. Classes will start next month! Please be praying that I get good news from them this weekend or next week. I really don't know what I'll do if I don't get into the program this semester. I can't think about that though. I need to keep a positive attitude and hopefully it will all work out. :)
Well that's what been happening lately. My garden is over growing.. lol. The ground hornets scare the crap out of me every time I go out the door. I made Cake Balls Monday afternoon in anticipation of my Aunt Dee's birthday dinner Wednesday. They were extra yummy for my first try. I'm excited to try different cake/ frosting/ and chocolate combinations next time. My dad's birthday is coming up so maybe I'll make him his favorite next time. :)
I can't wait for my first check to be deposited! I'm going to go watch Wheel of Fortune now and think about making something for dinner. :)
