November 26, 2007, 8:46 a.m.

On my first fifteen for the day. Already covered a 15 break for a cashier this morning. (and sold two more CMN balloons, bringing my total to 33.)

I only started to sell those balloons yesterday on a whim. I worked 11-8 yesterday, only the first 20 minutes spent in my department. Then I was door greeter for an hour, an hour which held a reminder of how asinine a particular member of management can be-there was a chair at the door, so I sat. Apparently that chair is just there for looks, because when he went by, he got on the walkie (every door greeter has one as well as management) and told Assistant Josh that he needs to tell his door greeting people they cant be sitting down at the door, "hanging out". He could've just came over to me and told me to get up, but he broadcasted it to everyone in earshot of the walkies, and said my name as an example of who dared to sit while on door greeting duties. Argh!!!

But, after my door greeting stint, I took my first fifteen minute break, and then got on the register/ Around 1:30-2, I hear the cashier next to me show off to each CSM that went by how many she had already sold that day (which didn't really look like that much). So I decided to try it, and managed to sell 31 of them between then and when I got off at 8:00 (with an hour lunch in the middle). I think I averaged about five an hour. Theres a contest going in, but I don't think I will sell enough, because I am not an actual cashier.

That wraps up my day yesterday, at least the part worth telling

I didn't sleep well last night at all, I was missing Jeff;s warmth, his loving arms arms holding me close. I got a good morning call from him soon after I woke up this morning! He didn't sleep much last night either. If i could talk him into it, I would pay the $100.00 fee to bring him back here once more. His mom already said (and is) paying for his books and he is getting financial aide that he could get anywhere he went. A dream is a dream I guess.

I must go back to work now, a few minutes late but oh well.
