I’ve been working in retail for quite a while now. It’s a job that has it good and bad things. But really, I guess that is what you get with every job. With my current job I really don’t like how we have to bother each and every customer. They get annoyed and start acting rude when I really didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just trying to do my job. I ask them for help and they catch an attitude. I ask to see their ID when they pay with a credit card and they huff and puff and then throw the ID at me. I’m just trying to help you people out!

Everyone knows about identity theft but I guess they figure it wont happen to them. Someone stole my moms wallet before and it had one of my credit cards in it. They went charging away. She noticed it was gone within an hour and the damage had already been done. I’m just trying to help other people. If I didn’t ask for ID and their card was stolen the first thing they would say is “why didn’t you check?” You have to be careful at retail pos systems because if you can just go around swiping your card everywhere what will happen if you did lose your wallet? You would be out of a ton of money and you will be sitting there wishing someone carded the person who stole from you. So really is an additional 5 seconds that could save you thousands of dollars worth all the huffing and puffing? I think not!

I keep saying that I want to go on a vacation. I really just want a break from the norm. Get out of Michigan for a few days and just enjoy life. It seems like whenever I have time off I spend it with my family. Don’t get me wrong, I love family time. Sometimes you just want to get away and do something different. Spend time with people you don’t see often, or just spend time with yourself.

In order for me to go on a trip I need to buy some luggage. I don’t have any. I’ve never really owned my own set of luggage. I had some family hand me downs but we all used those as a family. Nothing has ever been all mine. If I got some luggage I know it would be black with a nice purple trim. I just love those two colors!

For some reason I’m so tired tonight. It could be because I woke up at 8am so I could go to work. Today was my first day opening the store all by myself! It went well if I may say so myself. After work I drove straight to Detroit. Got home, ate a sub and then went to a community meeting and that about sums up my day. Nothing too exciting going on. I feel so tired. I think I’m going to go to sleep before midnight. I wanted to go to sleep at 8:30 but I’ve been pushing myself to stay up. If I go to sleep early I wake up a couple hours later then my schedule is all out of wack. Not like I have a schedule anyway, but you know what I mean. I’m going to finish up what I need to finish up and call it a night. I can barely keep my eyes open!
