"Oh Apple"

Sunday, September 26, 2010 Emily, Haylee and I went to go see Joe Brooks in concert.  We have been listening to him for 4 years, ever since we had our first myspace.  I was pretty stoked about it!  It was alot of fun  :)

Gizmo and Family

     I'm home for the weekend, and so is my older brother Josh.  I got home around 9:30 friday night, and Josh arrived saturday afternoon.  He brought his puppy Gizmo, and his friends puppy Sammy!  They are so precious :)

     My cousins came down for a visit to, Abby and I always end up taking two hundred pictures of ourselves! Love her <3

Happy Birthday Hannah!

     September, 21, 2010 The 20th birthday of Hannah Gaut.  Sometime in the middle of the day she decided that having a party would really fun. So, we told a few people hoping it would get around with word of mouth.  It did.  I am the type of person who likes to plan things like 'parties' a week in advance.  This was so not a week in advance!  After work we went and bought a cake and some tea, thinking only 10 people were going to be there.  Ended up being 30!  It was alot of fun, I don't think I have ever seen a group of young adults so amused with balloons?  And of course we did some Old English dancing, and an upbeat country dance :) But just for Hannah we did....the BROOM DANCE.... or as I like to call it...the REJECTION DANCE...yeah much better fit.  I think it's safe to say that everyone had a really great time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)     

Dance, Dance

     Last night I attended my first ever DANCE.  One of the interns, Stacy, knew the host family, so she called and said "Hey I have 25 friends can they come to your dance?" haha.  It was a sight when we all arrived at the same time, kinda felt like party crashers. Pretty Great
     When I was growing up (psh like I'm grown up) I never had dances, my school did not approve.  Instead we had banquets where everyone had there own little personal space. I don't have the exact rule, but there was a six inch rule when I was in high school. If this rule happened to be broken, you're in trouble!
     We danced the Virginia Reel, Spanish Waltz, and I cant remember the names of the others.  I am proud to say I successfully (successful in my head) danced every dance.  The last dance of the night consist of spinning, twirling, and dizziness, you were always moving! Oh yeah and it was twenty-two minutes long. 0_0  You can imagine we were all pretty worn out by the time we got back to the hotel...

Good-Bye Giant

I am no longer a Giant employee.

• My first day at Giant was October 9th.  
• On my Second day at giant I witnessed something that I will never be able to forget.  An elderly women was loading her items on the belt when she gripped the edge of the register and began whispering to me...I thought she was possessed.  Then out of nowhere she falls flat on her back and pulls the cart down with her.  Her breathing was very heaving and her eyes were moving back and forth really fast.  Then she just stopped.  An ambulance came and took her out on stretcher, and I am happy to say that she is alive and well :)

There are four types of customers at Giant, The Perfects, The Impatient Ones, The Crazies, and The "Clever Ones"

• A nice simple conversation, a smile, a compliment,  a thank you, these are all qualities of The Perfects. I love these customers :) 
• Impatient people are a wee bit annoying, they roll their eyes, tap their fingers vigorously, glare at the cashier and/or bagger,  or my favorite-  mumble....No One Knows What You're Saying!!! so keep it in your head please.
• The Crazies are the people who know just how to drive me up the wall!  A few examples are: When they line every single item in a single fill line on the left side of the belt, oh and when they buy a bunch of stuff and then go "oops I don't want them anymore" What?! Then why did you put it in your cart??  My favorite is after I finish bagging they go ''Oh oops I had bags here you go'' Why!...  (p.s I dislike this whole bring your own bag thing) 
• People think they are so clever. I just love it when a customer buys something and then say "Oh no that is the wrong price" so I take them to the price tag and show them it's the right price. Then they try to convince me that I'm wrong...I'm not BLIND! or they try to do these weird separate transactions thinking they get a better price. What?! how is that making your purchase any cheaper??

While working at Giant I learned some important facts such as:

• Never squeeze a bag of flour to hard
• Always make up a fake injury when asked to go outside and push carts
• Do not ever bag a child's toy with out their knowledge
• Circus Peanuts keep you young

A few things to note before you go grocery shopping

• Don't forget your wallet
• Please take your child out the cart when checking out, unless you want him/her smooshed under groceries
• Wash your "green" bags. Please!
• And always thank the Bagger ;) haha
