  • It has been forever since i have been on here and i apologize for that. i am hoping to get back into

    blogging more often. Things have been so caotic around here.

    My job is a variety of emotions right now. I know that it shouldnt be an emotional rollercoaster but I allow it to be and that is the most frustrating of it all. There are three reasons that i love my job.

    1) My customers love me just as much as I love them. I get to see all different kinds of people, know their jobs, their families,their lives. I know when they are having a bad day and i try to make it a little better by smiling with them and laughing with them, even if it takes me being silly to do it.

    2) I love the people that i work with. They are so different from each other. I know what is going on with their families, wether good or bad. They know what is going on with mine. They look to me for guidance and I look to them for the same. They want me to lead them no matter how much i dont feel qualified for it. They encourage me to take more control with the store. They all know that they can call me wether at home or on my cell and ask me questions or just to chat. Here is a perfect example:

    One of the girls there..I say "girl" but she is a woman......he name is Sam...I met her when she transfered to my store about 8 months ago. Her mother and I became fast friends and have stayed that way since we met. Anyway...Sam was pregnant....her mom called me when they were in the hospital waiting to have the baby. She asked me to come up and be with them during the birth.

    I felt and still feel honored to have been invited by all of them to enjoy this very special occassion. I felt like I really have friends and that they love me with all of my faults and quirks.

    Anyway...that is what i am talking about. The people that i work with...I just love all of them.

    3) I am nervous about being an authority figure at my work. I dont want any of them to hate me or get mad at me, even though i know it will happen now and again. I am afraid that i will fail and that i will lose the respect of my co-workers and 'my bosses'. And that i will lose any confidence in myself that i have worked so hard to build.

    Anyway....it is late and i have to work in the morning. I will talk more later

    I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and has a beautiful loving Christmas!!!!!
