Earning that oh so crucial green.

I work at a grocery store. SO great, I love it there. I mean, it's obviously not what I want to do with the rest of my life, but it's a great high school job. It is helping me to build good habits and to gain good characteristics from the work I do. Just being social with the people and being sweet to them when the world might not be is a huge blessing to me. Just knowing that with one smile, I can change a person's day like THAT. Wow, I've actually never even thought about it that way until I typed it out.

Anyways, I've really learned a lot from bagging groceries. More like from the people I work with or the people I interact with. But that isn't all I do. I also clean the store, "face" the store (which is bringing the items on shelves forward and making the shelves look super nice). Facing is super fun, so long as you're not by yourself. It makes time go by way faster and you get to know someone a lot better when you do. Some of the people that I work with are some of my really good friends now because of the good times we've had there.

You would not even be able to imagine how many random good times I have had with the people working there. Just random conversations you have or random pranks you decide to pull. That's another thing you wouldn't be able to imagine, the kind of things we come up with to do when we are extremely bored. For example, say Tom rode his bike to work that day. Since Tom is such a punk, we decide to take some wire and hang his bike from this super high thing in the back room and wait to see his reaction when he gets off of work to go home. I've done that one a few times...but since we've done about 5 times, we have to come up with new places to put it.

And as workers of Gene's Fine Foods, we work right by Straw Hat. If you didn't know, pizza shops usually have super awesome games where you can win a bouncy ball or you can just pop a quarter in and grab it. Well, I think just about everyone that works on the front end of the store (checkers&&baggers) own at least one bouncy ball from Straw Hat. Only a checker or a bagger would ever understand how much entertainment a bouncy ball can really bring. We come up with these random games to play with them, only ot play in hopes that you don't get caught by a manager. Our managers...abuh.

I love working there though. The people are soo amazing and I am officially the only girl bagger for right now which is interesting...but I'm living with it. Anyways, thats a bit about my work place. As I continue to write, I'm sure more will pour out of this heart.
Until next time...

Live High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously.
