Give and take.

Today was the nicest day of the year so far. It was 70 degrees today. Absolutely beautiful. Too bad I had to work. My mom and I had a disagreement right before lunch, and she pretty much killed my mood, but she apologized for it a little later. She just has a major problem with me spending time with John.

I still got to see him today. He followed me from Pumper's to Bi-Lo, and we dropped my car off at Bi-Lo and just spent time looking at cars until I had to go into work. It was pretty fun. He came into Bi-Lo right after I clocked in, and (as he put it) he bought Naked and had me check him out, haha. And while he was at my register, he gave me a note.

Isn't he wonderful? He waited for me to go on break tonight. And I'm so glad he did. I was having the worst time at the register before my break. Nothing was going right. And Michael - who shall, from now on, be referred to as Harry Potter - was of no help whatsoever. I mean, c'mon. I'm new. I've only been there 4 days. Gimme a break. Everything just went wrong at once, and I was a little overwhelmed.

John took me to McDonald's while I was on break. We sat on the couch (yes, that McDonald's has a couch), and we watched ESPN and made fun of the AFL and NFL. I'm just glad he waited for me. It was a relief to see him after getting all stressed out at work.

Things were a lot better when I came back from break though. Kenneth helped me out a lot. He's the only one there who's really nice to me - out of the guys, anyway. Clara's nice, but she was only there until 5. Anyway, Kenneth helped me with several things, and I finally got the hang of doing WIC orders. Everything went smoothly after that. And my parents came by. They were all happy to see me doing my job. Oh, and I got a compliment from a customer today: a man came to my register (he had a pretty small order), and he said I was "a very professional young lady". That made me feel pretty good. And some other dude - some 60-year-old man who was with his son and his son's girlfriend and their 6-month-old baby (and their order was $327), was flirting with me, telling me how pretty my name was. Hm...ok. Sure. Anyway, the rest of the night went by kinda' slow, but after 10, I was getting all the customers because there were only two registers open and mine was closest to the door.

The only downside about this job is the fact that I haven't adjusted to standing at a register for such a long time. My back and my legs are killing me. And actually, I'm hoping that John will be willing to give me a massage tomorrow. That would just be amazing. He'll be coming over after school and hanging out for the day. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Anyway, I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to call it a night. I'll post again tomorrow, probably.

Goodnight.
