FINALLY!

I finally have time to update this thing! LOL Well not a whole lot has really happened that you guys don't already know about. Well except for maybe Monica, idk. Anywhos.

I am still working at Wal-Mart. It's still pretty good. I got my evals yesterday and did really well. He said the only thing I have to work on is my "sense of urgency" as far as getting stuff done. It's kind of hard to do that when you're spending your entire shift on te phone because they keep pulling the phone operator away to be a flippin' CASHIER, or you get pulled away from your department for a few hours to go be a people greeter (which I was never hired to do in the first place), but whatever. Oh well. It's a job. But he also said that I do great work in making sure the department is neat and tidy at night and I am very personable and helpful to the customers... which is most important.

Sam and I are doing well. We are VERY ready for spring! LOL Sam started his new position at work, so he's doing that twice a week and the rest of his work week is spent in the freezer. They are cutting his hours back at work though, which isn't good. I keep telling him that he needs to apply to Wal-Mart again.

Anyways, that's about it for me.

Hugs,
Cass

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated this thing. My computer's been on the fritz and I've been working a lot lately anyways.

Mom, I just got your message. Sorry I didn't get a chance to call you back tonight, but I didn't get off until 10 and so I figured you were already in bed anyways. :)

Everything is going great here. Work has been really slow since New Year's Eve, which is great because now I can do other things in my department other than putting back returned clothing. The only thing is now it's so dead that I get everything in my department done before 6! LOL But I just go around to the other ladies in the clothing department asking them if they need any help in hopes of keeping myself busy. Which has been working, so I hope that stays that way.

Oh man, there's this one girl that I work with named Stacy and she is soooo annoying. She complains that she can't ever get anything done in her department and yet she will take a 15 minute break every chance she gets. Tonight she wasn't even back from lunch for an hr before she went on another break. And earlier today she tried to start something with another employee who was off the clock. Apparently she said she had everything in her department done last night as far as returned ladies clothes, but when the other girl came in this morning there was still a return cart full of clothes even though she told Jennifer, our manager, that she was done. So later on the other girl came up to talk to another employee at the fitting room (this was after she had punched out for the day), and said something really snotty to her like "Get on those returns!" or something. The other girl just calmly told her that she was off the clock and what she just said to her was harassing her when she's off the clock. So Stacy calls the manager up to tell her that what the other girl was doing was wrong and Stacy ended up being the one to get in trouble. LOL Not to mention she also had gotten a warning earlier in the week because of her taking so many breaks. The manager that had to come to the fitting rooms for all of this is normally the manager of the meat department, so he was PISSED that he had to come to the floor in the first place. When he saw it was because of Stacy, he got even more red in the face because he was the manager that talked to her about her breaks. rofl

I know it's a bad thing to think, but I kinda hope she gets fired.

Anywho. That's about everything though. Not too much has happened outside of work.

We had a really good New Year's Eve. We had some friends over for some drinks... and of course we had them stay the night because we didn't want them drinking and driving. Man was our apartment PACKED!

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas! Mine was pretty good, though it was weird not spending it with you all. I miss you guys. I got a lot of really good stuff that I needed. Sam's grandma and grandpa got me a cool Betty Crocker cookbook binder thing with a bunch of recipes and a cake pan, Cindy and Ed (Sam's parents) got us a spice rack with a bunch of spices on it and just for me a fresh baked cookie scented candle, some chocolate flavored chapstick, and some Christmas tree ornaments to put on the tree next year. And Sam got me a new video game called Kingdom Hearts 2 (which is really cool, it has all the Disney movies in it as worlds that you can adventure in), and a glass Christmas ornament... it's a pickle! LOL He's so funny. That one I'm not going to put on the tree though because I'm afraid Buddy (our cat) will get in the tree and break it.

By the way, I'm going to have to get everyone's cards and the boys' presents on my day off. I didn't get a chance to cash my check before Christmas (I got paid on Christmas Eve). Hopefully you guys will get your stuff by next week though.

Okay, so quick update. The other day I had to go to the hospital because I puked up a little bit of blood. The doctor said it was just because I had irritated the lining of my esophagus, but I have bronchitis. Hooray. So he gave me two medications that I have to take. He tried to prescribe me a medication that would have cost us $200!! But we were able to get a MUCH cheaper version for $13. I tell ya, buying medicine is like highway robbery anymore. The common man just gets poorer and poorer, while the price of medicine just keeps getting more and more expensive. It's ridiculous.

But, on a brighter note, I am feeling A LOT better now. I was actually able to go to work yesterday, so that was good. And I get paid tomorrow! But I have to work. LOL Oh well. I hope we get holiday pay for Christmas Eve. Anyways. If I don't get to update this before Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful time with friends and family. I miss you all and I will be thinking of you. *HUGS AND KISSES!*

Just thought I would post a quick update since I haven't done so in the past few days.

Well... I have a bad cold. I feel like Poopy McPooperface right now. :( Although at least it's not like it was Sunday where every time I coughed really hard I puked. But now I have a whole new set of symptoms since I got over that one. Sinus pressure, headaches, stuffy/runny nose, etc. Last night I couldn't sleep because of it. They had me work until 10pm, just so I could turn around and be back at 7am. And, since I couldn't sleep, I couldn't get up once I finally DID fall asleep... so I was over an hr late for work this morning. UGH. However, I did find a dollar on the floor at work, so I guess it wasn't all bad. But as the day progressed, the worse I felt, and the worse I felt the busier it got so I kinda just wanted to shoot myself in the face. XD

Also, my workplace is a death trap. Right when I started working some older dude that worked there for 15 yrs. had a heart attack in the meat department and died, 6 months before that an older dude (customer) had a heart attack in the electronics department and died, and just today someone collapsed in the electronics department. I don't know if they died or not though. Death is ninjaing people left and right at my store. EEK!

got my hair cut yesterday too.

I had this really weird dream. We were all at the farm in Elsinore for some holiday (I can't remember what it was, but it wasn't Christmas because it was warm outside) but the house didn't look like the house there. And I was on the porch and Sissy came out and we started talking to Grandma Anna's ghost and snuggling with her and stuff, and Candy was there too but she couldn't see or hear grandma. And then, later on in my dream I was going shoe shopping and I was in a wheel chair, but I wasn't paralyzed. I was doing all sorts of tricks through the shoe store in my wheel chair, then I started wondering if talking to grandma was all just a dream.... and then the phone rang and it woke me up.
