Womenspace donations 11/24/2002
Today at work Josh opened and didn't do as well as 2 days ago with the carts. Two of the 3 rows of carts were full, with one empty, and of course the covered area outside was almost empty. Well sure, the covered area is for when you need to fill up inside fast, but the other stockmen use it way too often, and that just means more work for me since I'll have to fill it back up when I close. I just leave that area alone, and that means that many less carts to deal with. Well, Josh was scheduled to leave an hour after I came in, and guess what? He brought in a total of zero carts in that time. He was inside somewhere, and he finally came out to tell me he will be back in a minute; he has to call someone. Okay, sure Josh, just as long as you don't come out here and take the carts from the covered area that I just filled up while you were inside. Then I saw him gathering some carts in the same area that I was, so he comes to me and points to the carts he was gathering, and tells me there are a lot over there, and goes inside. When 5 o'clock came around, he left and I was glad.

Elisabeth was there, and the first time I saw her it was almost time for my break, and she was walking outside and said she's taking her break and I'm taking mine right now, too. Then she said to come outside so she could smoke, and I'm like, "Okay." She told me about this customer who was really being difficult and stuff. She also told me that she and Amanda were at Mike's house last night and Amanda brought my They Might Be Giants CD and they listened to like the first minute of each song, and it sure gave them a good laugh, lol. Mike likes her, I think, and she goes over to his house with other people, too. When she talks to her friends about it, it sounds like she likes him and like he's competition for her boyfriend, but when I ask her about it, she says she doesn't like him and it's just a joke thing and how he thinks all the girls like him. Hmm, that's the opposite of me, I think no girls like me, lol, and I'm probably right.

Well, now on the topic that the title is referring to, there were some girls standing outside Wal-Mart's doors requesting donations for Womenspace. They were around 17-18 years old. I finally asked what Womenspace was, and they said it was shelters for battered women and children. Oh, I see. The first thing I said was, "Well those shouldn't need to exist," and the girl agreed with me. I told them I was on the clock, otheriwise I would give some money, and they thought that was really nice, and said I didn't have to, like since I worked there and it was for the customers. When my lunch came around, I had to check to see if my pizza from yesterday was still in the refridgerator in the break room, since they clean them out sometimes. If it wasn't there, I was going to go to Subway. Well, it was there. I went outside to the donation table and asked about it some more. You could either donate money or buy stuff on this list and give it to them. Most people see the girl, hear their request and say, "No thanks," and walk away. Well, that's understandable... if it's for a class trip to Hawaii or something. But I mean, c'mon, this is for abused women... even children. No one deserves that, especially loving wives or girlfriends, or children who have done nothing, but their drunk father takes it out on them. I took out $10 and showed the girl. She was expecting like $1 and her eyes got big and asked, "Are you serious?" I dropped it in the jar and she turned to the other girls sitting behind the table out there and said, "We got $10!" and they all were surprised and all thanked me and I said they are welcome, but that I had to go inside and eat lunch now. Hehe, that felt good. Besides, what better can I spend that $10 on? Me? Me who has never been abused in the least? On a CD or something? Ha, no way.

Well, around 10 my mom called saying they are going to a movie and will be done around 12:20 just to let me know. Great, and they let us go at 11. No one wants to drive all the way to Junction City to drop me off, and the only one who lives near there is Carly and I can pretty much guess what her answer would be, lol. Besides, even if she didn't have a problem with it, most of the time she's not going home after work, and is going to a friend's house... nowhere near Junction City. So, I spent my time waiting in the electronics department and listening to 102.3 ('70s, '80s, and '90s) on 3 of the stereos in there, lol. I found a broken CD case of Shania Twain's newest album and the first CD was missing. I showed it to Greg on overnight maintanence (ironically he lives in Junction City, too, but he goes home at 7 in the morning) and he asked where it was. I told him where, and he showed someone else and said, "Well, they stole it after all." I guess they were watching someone or something before.

When my parents and sister picked me up, I found out they had seen "Signs". My mom said it was really scary. That's such a cool movie. Amy hasn't seen it, so I plan to see it with her soon. I'm listening to my newly-downloaded Ace of Base songs right now. They are cool, hehe. Well, laters. I'm not feeling too well. Good thing I have a day off tomorrow, although I work the next day.
