Yep, I scattered a buncha carts today and they got in
the way of incoming customers, but more on that later.
Today it was a little busier than yesterday and Jesse was there
and said that it can get a little tiring, more than he realized. I
laughed and told him it was because he'd only had slow days so far.
Today was an average day for carts.
While outside, though, I got a big wiff of pizza! There is a
Little Caesar's Pizza across the parking lot from Wal-Mart and once
in a while the scent travels through the air. I made up my mind
right then that I was having pizza for lunch. I saw Elisabeth and
thought about asking her to join me for lunch, but I guess she only
came in for her 90-day evaluation, and wasn't working. It was really
cold outside, too. Lotsa people with sweatshirts on were complaining
how cold it was, and thinking I was crazy for having nothing but a
t-shirt (my best DBZ one) on. I agreed it was cold, but not
unbearable.
When lunch time came around (7:30) I ran over to Little Ceasar's,
then found I only had $3 on me, so I ran over to Wal-Mart to the
ATM, and then ran back. I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, but the
girl looked at the pizzas on the rack and found there was only a
large pepperoni, so instead of making me wait for one to be made,
she asked if I wanted a large for the price of a medium. But of
course! (although I wouldn't be able to eat it all). Well, I ate it
outside at the place where the smokers take breaks (there wasn't
anyone there and it was dark) since that person who's not talking to
me was at work and I knew she took her breaks in the break room, and
I just wanted to save her the annoyance of being in the same room as
me. Plus I wouldn't have to see her ignoring me, in case she was in
there. Well, I ate about half the pizza, and then I was full and my
lunch was over, so I brought it to the break room and found Blake
and Steven in there. Blake had opened, and had nothing to do so he
was hanging around Wal-Mart, lol. He does that often. I said they
could have the rest of my pizza, and although they said they just
ate, they left one slice for my last break at my request.
Well, some people were here asking if I was Jason, and said they
are going to clean the sidewalks (between some of the rows of
parking spots) and to block each of those spots with a cart. And
also, when a car already parked in one of those leaves, to block
that one off. It was fun putting carts IN the way for once. It was
also funny to hear some customers come in all upset complaining that
all the spots were blocked off. First of all, if all of them are
blocked, then where is their car? And secondly, only the ones around
2 of the sidewalks had carts.
Well, after all that, the associates working until 11:30 (like
me) had our nightly "zoning party" where we all go to an especially
messy department and make it look all nice. Coincidentally, my
co-worker who's very less than happy with me was there, too, so we
had a few run-ins, but she would just walk past not saying anything.
I've decided to not say anything to her until she wants to talk, and
I'll try to go around her as little as possible to keep the
awkwardness at a minimum. I'm still wondering what all I've said to
offend her in the past, and if that's all she's mad about. I must
have made her feel pretty bad, and it just kills me. I mean, I saw
her in the break room when I passed by, and it could've just been my
imagination, but she looked pretty depressed. I really hope that
it's not from what I've done to her. All I can do now is respect her
desire to not be around me.
We rented "Backdraft" and it was my first time seeing it. It's a
really cool movie, but the few....inappropriate parts my parents
fast-fowarded (which is the downfall of seeing a movie like that
with them) but the story was really good. So, that's my day. Yep.
