Yes, I've once again joined the world of the working. Actual work that I get a pay check for. Today is day 3 at the Surplus Outlet on Rt. 15. It's a grocery store of sorts. Not like a Sam's Club - far from it. It's more of an overstock/scratch & dent store. But they have everything a regular grocery store has, but at a fraction of the price. They want me to learn a few jobs there so I can fill in when I'm needed. My first day I was trained on the cooler. Which is a section of the store that is literally a giant walk-in fridge that has the meats, cheeses, yogurt, milk, eggs, produce.. And yesterday I was doing it pretty much on my own, with not too much help from others. Now today, I will be trained on my 'regular' job of case lots. Which is pretty much stocking shelves. I'm dreading the day they train my on the freezer. OMFG! Makes me want to crawl back under the covers just thinking about it! The people there are nice, and stop & ask throughout the day how I'm making out, and if I need any help, to just let them know. The dress code sucks, but lots of people have to wear certain clothes to work. Can't wear blue or black jeans, which is ALL I WEAR, so the day they called me to tell me I had the job, I had to go out shopping for dress slacks! But I found out yesterday that I can wear other colors of denim, just not black or blue. So hell yeah, I'm gonna go shopping again, as soon as time permits! I start at 7:30am, and work til 4pm.. so I'm eating cereal now trying to wake up. I'm usually not a breakfast eater, but I'd probly be sorry & draggin my ass if I didn't. On break, I'll go out to the truck and munch on something. Probly a nanner. Oh, I wanna make a sammich for today, too. I bought some yummy turkey ham yesterday after work. Which leads me to wonder just what the hell kind of animal do they get turkey ham from?!?
As I bring this blog post to a close, let me ask this. Did anyone of you out there ever like swallowing your bubble gum when you were a kid? If so, you'll LOVE the kind of ice cream I got last night. It's Bubblicious from Breyers. It's pink & has chunks in it, that when chewed, is reminiscent of gum that you've had in your mouth for 10 hours & falls apart. Oh, you know what I'm talking about! When mom & I first smelled it, it was so heavenly! Then I had a bowl last night after supper. Man, it was awesome! Til you got half way through.. then you never want to see another piece of gum again. Ever. It got kinda sickning.. lol. Good thing it was only $2.19, because I don't know if I want anymore real soon!
Ok, an hour left to get dressed, make a sammich, fix the hair.. blah blah blah. See you cats later! Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...

I'm glad to hear the job is going well for you. I'm sure you will relish that first paycheck.
I am a blue jean kind of girl too. When I got a job working at a credit union a while ago, I had to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe. I rarely wear those "credit union clothes" any more, unless I am going to a funeral or a wedding.
That ice cream does sound good for a spoonful or two. I think that I would be sick of it after that. though.
Glad to hear things are going pretty well with the new job! How great to find out you can wear other colors of Denim!!! Check out www.chadwicks.com for great colored denim. =D
ooooh bubble gum ice cream. I LOVED that as a kid! Might have to go looking for it at the store.
My 2 biggest (possibly only.. lol) fans! Work is going okay. Very sore feet! I'll get use to it. I hope! At least my mom gave me a pair of pants (Stretchy grey denim! YAY!) that fits me great! But I'll still check out that site, Deborah! Thanks!
A credit union - eek! At least we can claim the work clothes! lol
Lemme know if either of you try that ice cream. I'd send you both some if I could.. lol. I doubt it's regional.. like most Pennsylvania food seemingly is!
Another great thing about working where I do - they are closed on Sundays! WOO HOO! =D
