I had my first day of work ever today. Me my mom and my dad headed over to Lake city at eight. When we got there me and my dad looked around the store for a while getting used to things. After about twenty minutes we started working. I was pricing things and organizing things. I did that for about six of the eight hours I was there. The other two hours were my lunch break and doing things like dusting and helping my dad change the locks. I was very busy and had little time to just sit around. A plus to all of this is that there is a stereo system that I was able to play my music over.
The woman that is going to be working on weekdays when I'm at school and my parents at work brought her three year old daughter over. She's a real cutie. She has long hair down to the bottom of her back and it hung around her face like a curtain, sort of like Violet from The Incredibles. It was weird when she first got there because I never hang around little kids so I didn't know what to do. I don't know why but when I was heading back to the storage room to help my dad change the lock she followed me. I could hear her so I turned around to make sure and she stopped really quick and grinned at me. It was then that I knew we were now playing a game. So I did the whole game of I turn around really quick and she'll stop walking. When I got to the back room the game was over and I expected her to go away, but she didn't, she hung around. Later on I was pouring water into a vase of these bamboo plants and she came over and held them back so that I could get the pitcher over the vase. Another time I was sitting behind the counter and she followed me and got a hold of the thing I use to sticker the price on to items. She kept pulling the trigger and making more come out. She even put a few on me. I showed her how to tear off the paper the stickers come off of when it gets to long and she saw me throw away a lot of the stickers she put on me so she started throwing them away herself.
I'm so tired! I made $42.00 today and I'm working a bit tomorrow too. I've never made so much money in one day before!
The store is located in an open air place with other stores like Dollar General and a Chinese Buffet. There's also a Beef O' Brady's and that's were I had my meals. It was a good first day.
