Let's Play Catch UP!!

I know it has been almost a week since I last blogged, but I've been pretty busy.....

Let's see......last blog was Saturday, August 2.....so I guess I should start with Sunday........

Sunday I rode with Amber and Cherie (Amber's Mom) to Atlanta for a fun overnighter. Cherie had to do some orientation business training for work and didnt want to go by herself, or leave Amber alone to wonder the streets of Atlanta from 8 to 3, so when a trip to Atlanta came my way I jumped on it. I needed some time away from my house and the craziness that it holds. Plus, it was an opportunity to get to know Amber better as well as her mom. So, by Sunday night we were in the Sheridian Hotel by the Atlanta Airport. It was a really nice hotel, twelve floors. Of course, it was a completely non-smoking building, so every time I wanted a cigaretteI had to take the elevator down 10 floors, out through the lobby, and across the parking lot. Spent most of the night up late hanging with Amber and talking on the phone.

Monday Amber and I dropped Cherie off at her work orientation and headed back to the hotel for some much need R&R. The hotel had a really nice swimming pool....however several annoying children had conspiracy plans in place to keep us from having any type of peace or quiet. So, we eventually gave up on the whole swimming thing. We spent the rest of the afternoon napping in the hotel room before picking up Cherie and heading back to Wetumpka. It was a very interesting trip with tons of surprises. I had a great time on the mini road trip.

Tuesday night I started my first shift without a trainer at 9pm. I did not get off until 730pm. It was crazy, long, and tiring. But, I survived it and made some pretty good tips in the process.

Wednesday night I had to work third shift again....but this time there was a bit of a curve ball. I showed up at work and as it turned out....someone from a different store had been permanentally transferred to our store due to complications with interactions with co-workers. So my manager sent me to the #1 in sales store in the southeast for my 2nd shift by myself. Apparentally she was going to send the other scheduled waitress, but she did not feel as though she would give the proper impression of my mananger, so instead I was sent as the representation for Store 801. I guess, all in all, it showed how much faith my manager has in my abilities.

Today was spend on the phone and working out details for this upcoming fall semester. Then a short nap. Followed by hanging out with Amber, Evan, Heather, and my parents. I am actually completely exhausted from hard work and lack of sleep. But, however, I am completely grateful for this job.

Tomorrow I have to work third shift, as well as on Saturday night. I should stay completely busy and make a significant amount of money in tips.......

well.....I guess that's about it.....I'm falling asleep just typing this blog. Which means it is time for me to sleep. Good night all!!

Oh...and Marli....I promise to keep up with my blogging....so dont delete yours!! Love you and miss you!! (and of course dc) :)
