My Day, a story by Caitlin
Jun. 16th, 2004 12:13 amI woke up at 8 this morning and then proceeded to act like I had to go to work by 10, then I remembered I didn't have to go until 11! Silly me. So I took a shower and stuff and talked to Chris a little bit, and mostly just... I don't even know. I didn't do much anyway. So I went to work and we're doing a floor move so I was busy the whole time, and Elia came (the District Manager) so yeah. I worked on one part of the store the entire time, and it got slightly busy.
I also did my first salesperson-y thing, but ONLY because it was the first time I actually felt like maybe the woman would want the item. (Come on, trying to make someone buy two nightstands with the expensive bed they just bought is pushing it, sorry I'm not going to make people spend their money needlessly.) She bought this Sophia bed set for her bed (quilt, bed skirt, shams) and I suggested for her to look at the sheets we had that matched and she bought two regular pillowcases that were quite pretty. Bombay would be proud.
Anyway yeah, not likely to do that almost ever again because this was the first time I ever did and it's been like a year! But I refuse to be an annoying salesperson, because I hate them.
I'm really tired and just got off the phone with Chris and all I want to do is go to bed so the rest of this is going to be shorter than it was going to be ("YAY!" says everyone).
I got home (saw mom coming from Lee as I walked up, but she didn't see me so she didn't pick me up, oops), after leaving half an hour early from work (the last bus that leaves at 6:10 is a straight bus from Lee to Pittsfield and doesn't stop where I live). Mom was going to Pittsfield. First we went to Shannon's and Jim's house where I saw KITTENS, they were so cute.
Then we went to Big Y and got food for dinner which I cooked tonight. We went to Kris' house to eat. Mom bought chicken legs and 2 chicken breasts so I didn't really have to touch it... (I need to get used to that though) I just put one some seasoning and into the oven they went. I also "made" the instant mashed potatos (I probably should have asked to get normal potatos and mash them myself but who knows what kind of utensils Kris has), and I cut up broccoli by myself (scary, very sharp knife), and we made cream of corn.
Then I came home and I talked to Chris.
I'm going to make a new lj layout soon, maybe Kill Bill themed, I'm not sure, but this one has been around for waaay too long. Haha :) I also think I shall make some new icons or something maybe. What I do know is I'm going to bed RIGHT NOW. And I have freaking Bombay songs in my head >_>
