so, yea..fml. that's what i've been thinking for about a few days now. my managers have been giving the reviews for the temps (or former temps now). and well 1) i got a warning that i don't greet people as much and that i should say hi/ hello to everyone..EVERYONE and that this was a warning and if i did it again it would end up being a write up and write ups are bad. very very bad!.2) i might be getting my review today considering that...i have to get my review today. but my other manager (i have a lot of managers) told me what he wrote down and a gist of everything he said in the review. that i need improvement on working independently..meaning i should just stop running over to him and my other coworkers for help all the time. if i have an idea i should go with it. if i don't..call him.

he also told me a pet peeve of his...apparently walking over from my area to him just to ask for help..is well..annoying..and that i'm not the only one who does it..although...nah..i think there is someone else who does it worse than me. oh and..i'm working on halloween..isn't that great. i'm opening at 545 am, with two of my managers. i'm not going to dress up but..i guess..i'll be wearing something a little bit festive. i hope i'm not the only one though..

but today i was late for yoga..i woke up at 6, fell back asleep, woke up again to see i was already 9 minutes late for class.. i got to school at like 8:45. i thought s**t i'm really late. but then class ended a little earlier than usual and i had enough time to stay in class for a little bit and learn what we were doing next week. and to my surprise there was someone who was later than i was! she came in when most of the students were leaving class..total fml.

so i have work today from 6-12...it doesn't take a genius to realize that i'm the new closer! yay! *throws confetti*. i've actually been a closer since late last month..and honestly..i like closing..better than opening.. since..closing...there aren't any more people in the store. opening...holy s**t! a couple of hours in..and it gets crazy hectic inside. strange yea...but if you work in retail you realize people want everything they want or need in like...a minute flat. talk about crazy. closing on the other hand isn't so bad...it's just a lot of the times my managers's managers (if that makes much sense...umm...basically my managers' boss...there) are at the area and check up on us and the store from time to time. the new manager is the same person who interviewed me and gave me the position i have now.

another thing he told me or rather all of the employees was the 13-15 new people were hired and that we will be seeing them very very soon. i think in the next couple weeks or so. oh and another note...my 90 days are officially up! it started on 7/16; i remember writing an entry on that day. and it ended on 10/16. they already changed my status and i'm waiting on my review to see where i can improve. this is my first permanent position..job. i hope..no..i know i can do well if i try and just relax, and not let a lot of things get to me. i mean i tend to get..emotional at work..sigh..whatever. i have class at 1235 and i'm just trying to kill time. so that's pretty much what's been happening with my week..or couple of weeks. yea..

later<3

edit: i just went back and started reading through my previous entries of when i started working. i kinda forgot how emotional i was starting working to now. it's definitely an experience and a wake up call to try and be a little bit more relaxed.
