The Land Of Idiots

What is it with people in parking lots who walk slowly down the aisle right in front of your car? I mean, it's obvious that they can probably hear you car. Not to mention that anyone in their right mind might walk to the side because they know eventually a car will need to come down the aisle, right? Well maybe not so much because I turned down the aisle today in a parking lot where I had 4 people..YES 4..walking directly in front of my car. All I wanted to do was honk at them and tell them to get the EFF over, but I didn't want to be that big of a mega bitch. IDIOTS!!

An Old Friend

I spoke with an old friend yesterday. It was nice! It made me briefly think of the times in college we spent together and also just college in general. It felt good! It's nice to know that there are those few people in your life that you probably will in one way or another always stay in contact with each other. You may not talk for a year or even two years, but you always realize the importance that the other person holds in your life! It's extremely comforting and it made me smile!! :)

Week 2

My second week of work is over. The big visit is done and so now I hope to feel better about things. People are starting to get to know me and are starting to laugh at me and with me. I am making a name for myself and feeling more comfortable the people and with my new surroundings. I feel like there's all this pressure on me to do really well. So much was done for me to get to West LA. Everyone has spoken so highly of me and I have a tough act to follow. The previous CTM was flipping awesome and beyond good at his job!! I want to do well. I don't want to let anyone down. Mostly, I don't want to let my boss down because he absolutely adores me and speaks so highly of me. And that makes me nervous because I'm human and I will make mistakes! I adore him as well and consider him to be somewhat of a mentor to me. I've never looked up to authority figure the way I look up to him!! I should be fine as long as I stay calm..haha!

Time

Sometimes I feel like I just don't have enough time. I feel these days that I am so incredibly busy and I'm not sure why. I feel like I keep putting things off that I need to get done and all because I'm busy doing other things. But what am I doing really? I want a weekend where I do absolutely nothing. However, when I try to accomplish this I end up feeling bad and go to the store for no reason at all. Hmm..next weekend I sleep all day!..haha!

I Work Hard For The Money

My first week at my new job is almost over. It's been an interesting one to say the least. I'm trying to get to know all the employees, figure out where everything is, deal with a different clientele, and so on. And on top of all that we were audited today! I guess I should get use to it because we're going to be audited every month due to the fact that we are a "focus store." I realize this means nothing to most of you so just bare with me whenever I talk of all of this..haha!! It helps that my store manager adores me and I adore him. Because it is such a fast paced store my days go by much quicker and I get home in like five minutes at the end of the day...hahaha! You can't beat that! HAHA!

First Day

It was my first day at my new store today. I have to say that it is extremely different and much more fast paced. The good thing is that I know what I am doing operationally already, but things are still done so different at this store. And getting to know everyone in such a high volume store seems impossible at times. But my boss is so excited for me to be there so that makes things easier!! Anyhoo, the weather here is crisp but not like in colorado. Stay Warm!

Kudos!

My Dad and Ann left last night. It was a great weekend as it always is. So good to be near family even if it is for just a short time! I always love visitors...hehe!!!

So, I have officially been promoted to the West LA store, which is five minutes from my house. I get to work for my old store manager again who I absolutely adore and see him as my mentor. I know that it is cheesy but it is oh so true. So, I got more money, will be the CTM, it's closer to home, less gas money, less wear and tear on my car, and I get to work for my favorite dude again. I have to say that I'm so very excited. But with that excitement comes a little anxiety and also a bit of sadness. You know, I really love the people I work with and they have become sort of like my family out here. There are about 7 people that were there with me from the beginning of this whole LA move. I have mixed feelings about the whole situation. However, I know ultimately this is the best thing for me. I just will really miss some of the people I worked with. I learned a lot from then because they were all so different and it was such a diverse group. There's something special about the Canoga Crew. The good thing is that I'm not moving to an entirely different state as I did with the Boulder Crew.

So, next Monday I will be waking up a little later and getting home a little faster! Things one by one seem to fall into place for me. I feel good! :)

Will They Make It?

My dad and Ann come tomorrow seeing how they weren't able to make it out for Christmas due to the weather in Colorado. I am so very excited to see them and so happy that I will be in the presence of family for a few days. I'm trying to wind down from the holidays, but find myself just doing things very slowly. I feel like things in my room, bathroom, and life in general are a bit messy. Next week I should be back in the swing of things...hopefullY!
