My Life Thus Far

I'm Proud Of Me :)

****

I just got home from work, and as it usually goes, I had a
good time. I SO did NOT want to go this morning. In fact,
I didn't want to go so bad, I procrastinated until
12:36pm, when I figured I had to get dressed or there was
no way I was getting there on time. I was 8 minutes late,
but since I was doing them a favor, they were smart enough
not point that out. It was crazy-busy. Busier than I've
seen since holiday. Which was nice, because it made the
time go by quite swiftly and I didn't have to do anything
other than ring up transactions and angel card payments. I
wasn't in a panty table-straightening kind of mood.

I finally grew a pair (in the metaphorical sense, because
it would be pretty gross if I grew a pair of testicles)! I
was up at the cash wrap, making a tester of the new
perfume we've got coming out on Monday (Isle of Pink, it's
nice, kind of citrusy, you should smell it), when Alicia
came up to me and said in a rather whiny voice "Jennifer,
can I ask you something". I cut her off at that point and
said, "If it has anything to do with the schedule, the
answer is no". I worked today because of my inability to
say no. It's obvious that if I don't stick up for myself
and my schedule, I'll be continuously asked to work more
than I should be. An hour later she asked if I'd be
willing to swap shifts. Her Sunday for my Tuesday. I just
looked at her and said "NO". I already sacrificed my
Saturday, I'm not working Sunday, too. We've got plans
tomorrow and even if we didn't, I still wouldn't do it. It
has nothing to do with liking or disliking my job, it has
to do with sticking up for the principal. I'm not supposed
to be on my feet. Retail is about as much on your feet as
you can get. I'm proud of me :)

I went shopping a little after work. I bought another pair
of Secret Fit capri pants in a different style, because
I've been wearing the crap out of the one pair I have. Now
I've got two. I like the pair I bought today a lot.
They've got that vintage wash going on and a cute turned
up cuff at the bottom. I also got a very Springy nursing
top that I can wear right now. It's got bees, butterflies
and flowers on it. So cute! Then I stopped at Payless to
take advantage of their sale. Two pairs of shoes for $30.
Just some easy slip-ons. I get tired of wrestling with
laces and stuff when no one is around to help me. My tummy
is too big and too much in the way. Problem solved!

I'm in the process of making dinner, so I should go do
that. Nothing fancy tonight. Johnsonville Brats. I love
them :) I just know I'm headed for heartburn, even with a
maximum strength Zantac in my system. Ciao for now.
