So, my second week is well underway and things are going well. I'm picking up on things more quickly than I thought possible - mostly because of errors, but hey, ya gaotta learn somehow eh?
Today, a lady came through my checkout wearing a PEI Sweatshirt. I asked her if she was from there she answered that she had just visit this summer. I told her I was from PEI and she was so excited and told how much she loved it there. I felt like I was at home for about 1 minute, and that was nice :).
Other than that, business as usual. I get to have this weekend off and next weekend - the weekend of thanksgiving every one is on duty that works there. Basically, Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the official kickoff to christmas shopping. Yikes. It'll be crazy busy.
Pray the God give me continued strength next week.
Love you!!

a new week, a new post...
Hello Dearies.
Maybe you've heard it through the grapevine by now, but I'll just give the official word from myself. I got a job working at Michaels (arts and crafts) as a Front End Supervisor (FES for short). Basically, it means that I'm in charge of the cashiers as well as opening in the morning or closing at night. Also, I'm responsible for making sure that the registers and counters stay tidy and free of clutter and refilling the the candy and dollar bins. I've been at it since tuesday - shadowing the current FES, a friendly old gentleman who is looking to retire soon. Today was my first day doing everything without him since he had the day off. I was really nervous and anxious about it and I'm not sure if it was that or the coffee I had with supper last night, but I didn't sleep very well last night. I prayed alot about it last night and this morning though, and all in all, the day went well.
Anyway, I work the afternoon shift tomorrow instead of the morning so Isaac is cooking a nice supper for us (he was done at 11 this morning, so he offered to cook so that I could sit and relax. What a nice guy!) and we're going to watch a movie together afterward. Yay! A date!
I'm just going to catch up on everyone else's life now. I've been so exhausted from working this week that I just haven't had the energy.
Oh yeah, I was also going to let you know that Isaac had another exam yesterday - Biochemistry #2 (he said the hardest test he's taken to date). He got a 90% on it and and in that class, 86% and above is an A. I'm so proud of him. He's working really hard at school and doing well.
Anyway, I'm out for now. Love you all!!
