My schedule change

Thursday, June 21, 2012

So I did find out that I will be getting what my company calls "grantee bonus" while I'm in training and if I under stood right it will be 3 to 600$ on top of my hourly pay. August is when I will be out of training and actually selling things, which is good and bad all at the same time...lol. Well not bad just different I guess you could say. I'm going to go from a 8-5 mon- friday, weekends off schedule to a not set retail schedule. The store's hours I'm going to are 10am to 9pm mon-saturday and 10-6 on sunday(Mall hours). The good thing is that I can workout before work and not have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to do it. the down fall to that is now that I finally met a really, really good guy who treats me like a queen has the opposite schedule. He works 730 to 4 mon- friday with weekends off, lol figures hu...lol . I am doing my best to look at the bright side and it is hard for me to see one. We have been really enjoying each others company these last 5 weeks. I broke the news to him yesterday and he was like WTH! Basically I get one weekend off a month and every other sunday off. He said, I'm already so used to spending time with you almost every day. I replied, yea I know but that's retail and Im blessed to have a job period. Then he said well we will figure something out. I replied yea, lets just enjoy the weeks I have left with our matching schedules and he agreed. So that is what we are going to do. We will figure the rest out when August comes. The only thing I am getting from this change is the saying goes" absence makes the heart grow founder" (I think that's the saying any ways..lol) I mean he can always come to the mall to spend my breaks with me. It did just hit me that, at least we will have almost 3 months to get to know each other before the schedule change so Im gonna be thankful for that and just make it through today!!!! There is a reason behind all of this change in my life and its just not time for me to know. What I need to do is just be excited that the lord has all kinds of plans for me this year, weather I like them or not, lol. I am grateful that the lord is giving me all this attention, lol. Good things are brewing, I CAN JUST FEEL IT!!!! thank you for listening!!

    Girl everything is going to work out just fine. I'm so glad you got the bonus and all. And I think you looking at the bright side of things is what is gonna make everything work out just fine. It's all about attitude! And as fas as your new love interest...when two ppl wanna be together...they do whatever it takes and it sounds like he likes him some Nickie so no worries. I'm happy you met someone you like and who is treating you well b/c that's what you deserve. You have def been a great support for me and you are a great person. :)

    Well the bonus is definitely good news! Congrats on that. I'm sure your schedules will work out fine. It probably seems like it will be a problem now, but when the time finally comes it might turn out to be a good thing. I'm sure you'll work it out.
