working girl..

So today I had to go to work. Now I'm the type of person who's like I don't want to go work, whyyyy do I have to work? I wish they would just call me out of work, and not make me go. Yet, whenever I get there I'm glad that i went and I actually enjoy being there. You see, everybody I get work with is super nice and I get along with them really well. I don't have much to complain about work, and there has only really ever been one day that I was super tired and felt like I didn't want to be there at all. (That's another story, for another time.)  Anyways, today was no exception. I got into work around noon and started working on sorting and processing the shipment that we had from the days prior. Moses (one of the guys who I work with) and I got to work together on shipment and I thought "Oh yea! This will go by a lot quicker and we can get a lot processed fairly quickly with the both of us!" Well, I was a little off on this thinking, you see, when i started working in the back Dayna was manager, and she would always come back and tell me i need to work faster and that I'm not working fast enough. (At the time I was ready to cry b/c I had so much to do and thought I was working plenty fast enough) However, in the long run I thank her for it, b/c it has made me get through shipment much faster and I'm quick and efficient with unpacking and censoring the clothes. This brings me to today...Moses and I were in the back working on processing all the clothes and getting them hung and censored which was going alright, until we got to denim. You see, before, Moses had up wrapped the clothes and I had censored and hung them all, so this time we decided to switch roles, I unpacked and he hung and censored. Well, since he's still new to working in the back, he's not as quick as i am, so i got everything unpacked and he was still working on censoring. I had to stop unpacking and help him catch up, which i felt slowed me down a little bit. He said he was working as quickly as he could, but i felt as thought it could have moved faster. Though, i understand what it's like working there, and you have to get the rhythm down and so i was understanding of that so i wasn't to worried about it. However I was ready to jump over the table and yell at him when he started texting and moved a lot slower during censoring and not really focusing. This is what bothered me b/c he wasn't able to stay past 5pm and, being the nice person that i am, told the manager i would stay until it was finished. So when he was not moving quickly it became frustrating b/c i was like DAMN! this is going to be waaaaay more for me to do and i'm not gonna get out of here until waaaay late! So I just kind of went with it, and i was like you have to pick your battles, and this was not one i wanted to fight about. But i was getting frustrated. So anyways, about half way through, i was like we should switch places (since i was quicker at censoring) so we did, and it picked up our pace a little bit, but not near enough. I kept comparing to it when E-Shawn and I did the shipment. The two of us made a great team b/c she was quick at censoring and i was quick at unpacking, and so we could knock out about 5 boxes in an hour. Needless to say, Moses and I knocked out about 7 boxes in 2 hours...which is a lot slower than i would have liked, b/c in the amount of time we were there, we should have easliy gotten through all the boxes, but it was okay. I just now will be going into work tomorrow from 1-8:30pm instead of only 4-8:30pm to help out with shipment in the morning. :/ oh well, more hours equals more money which equals a better paycheck, so i can't complain to much. :)  But I won't be putting up with the slow pace and texting for much longer before I have to let them know I feel slowed down working with him...and I really don't want to have to do that, b/c then i would just feel awful. :(  But i also can't feel like i'm slowed down either. I guess I will just have to give it time, and if in a month he's still moving slow, I might have to say something. :/

Anyways, on another note, Nathan and I had talked about meeting each others family over the course of the next couple of weeks. I'm dosing up on allergy medicine now so that if we do get it coordinated I don't die when i go and meet his mom. She has cats, and i'm super duper allergic to cats. So bad that i'm usually able to be in a house for about 20-30 minutes max before i'm feeling like i can't breathe and my throat gets itchy and my eyes are watering, but i'm going to be a trooper and hope that the medicine will keep me not feeling as bad. I would hate it if i was only able to be there for such a short time, I would feel really bad, :/  but i just can never tell what my allergies will do, or how they will react to certain situations, (sometimes they are really bad, and other times not so much) so I'm hoping by taking medicine now, that will help somewhat later. :/

So after work, which lasted me until 6:30pm instead of 4pm like i was supposed to, I came home and went out for habachi chicken at kubuto with my mom. I talked the entire time, and quite frankly i think she was ready for me to shut up after dinner. haha! :)  But then we came home and played phase 10, and i continued to talk and talk, until finally i think she had had enough of my talking and went to bed. Which actually is sounding like a good idea right about now, so I think that's where i'm going to head..Goodnight for now....until next time...this is the blob, signing off.
