My Adventures!

OH MAN! So this weekend was sooooo much fun! Nathan and Tanner took me fishing on the lake and it was soooo much fun! I never thought I would be one to like fishing, but I actually had a really fun time! It was so much fun sitting in the row boat going out on the lake and trying to catch fish. The fish weren't really biting to much, but I did catch the first fish! About an hour after that Nathan finally caught one, but unfortunately for Tanner, he was unsuccessful in catching anything. It was alright b/c we still really had a lot of fun, and it was hilarious to watch the boys rowing the boat. They would be on a role and we'd get really far, then all of a sudden one of them would get tired so we would start to go in a circle b/c one was rowing faster than the other...i think they finally got the hang of it by the time we were headed back to the boat house, but it was really funny to watch. Next time we go out I think we won't use such huge oars. They have ones you can rent which are much smaller and look like they would be a lot easier to use. We are trying to figure out when we go out again, and i'm not really sure. We were contemplating this sunday, but tanner won't be around, so we will have to work it out b/w the three of our schedules. Either way, it should be really fun.

After fishing we came back to the house and got all cleaned up and de-fish smell. After that we decided to go the delicious chinese food buffet place where they have the coconut chicken i really liked! It was quite tasty, but I will say that the chicken wasn't quite as I remembered it to be. It was still good, but there's no way I would ever be able to eat more than one small helping of it, it's way to sweet for that. After stuffing our faces with food, we headed over to Nathan's grandma's house for a little while to visit with everybody. After visiting with them for about an hour we then droppd off Tanner and headed back to the house to watch some Dexter and get to sleep. I had to be up early the next morning so I could go in for training at my new job.

Speaking of training..OMG, was that terribly long! I went in at 10am thinking I probably wouldn't be there for more than like maybe an hour or two and I ended up not getting out of there until 3:45pm! I couldn't believe how long it was taking to get through everything! aaaaand, I still have about 5 hours left of training to complete!! It was awful! I also thought it was really strange how they teach you how to use the regster on the computer...it's not like any training i've ever been through before. I'm used to them actually showing you on a register what to do and walking you through the steps of first things to do when you arrive every day. Needless to say it's nothing like that. It's more like, this is all the potential things you will run into as you work...here's all the information you need to know and we're giving it to you now..so you better pay attention and not forget it when you need to..even if it's not pertinent to use for another 3 months!!  It's really weird..i'd rather be taught how to do something when I can apply it the job. I learn and pick up things easier that way. oh well, at least I know now after talking with Lacy that they don't train you on the register at all, so now when I get to that point i'll be sure to take extra care in learning how it's done. Well after I finished with what I could get through I headed back to Nathan's to check on Jayden. I decided since Nathan had the day off, I would leave him down there so he could spend some time with him while I was training and I would come back down after I was done...thinking it wouldn't take as long as it did. Anyways, after getting back to his house I chatted with his family for a bit, and then went and talked to him about my crazy day.

After that we didn't do a whole lot since both of were pretty tired. Now it's another day and I'm finishing this up and getting ready to head back to my house so I can get ready for another looooong and, more than likely, boooooring day of training. I will be anxious to actually get out on the floor and start helping customers where needed. I think I'm supposed to be working in sports wear but I'm honestly not really sure. I just hope the first day I'm not out there by myself in case I run across questions and don't have an answer for them. I'm thinking it will all go well, but I suppose at this point only time will tell! Well more on that later after I've started working officially.

Until Then.....
