Feels like home to me.

Ok, I guess its about time for an update...if Heidi is blogging again you know that it is time to start up. How bout I start with the good...I am still working at Justice, yay! Literally one of the happiest jobs I have ever had, I know its sick but I can see myself working there till I am 50. No need to worry I won't...I already evaluated the pros and cons of doing so, and realized I wouldn't progress:) Maybe being a business owner of some sort though?? I definitely love sales. Which brings me to my other bit, not only do I love sales but I love to talk sales, and I have realized that talking sales to an outsider is worse than pushing pins in their eyes (as I have learned from trying to share my enthusiasm with my less than aloof siblings who could care less). I find myself being borderline nosy when I walk into a store, whether it be Charlotte Russe or Wal Mart, I want to know where there at in there day, that meaning how much money they have brought in, what is the average transaction like, how their associate will treat me, and there conversion rate...doesn't all that sound exciting??!! Call me a nerd, but I love it! Another problem I have attained is feeling bad telling an associate no to what they are trying to sell me, its the stupid left over side effects of being a people pleaser, they still lurk around every now and again. An example, I went to Pac Sun as a 'just looking' customer, the ones I usually try to convert, and I started up some ole sales talk with the manager, made friends and so by this point I felt to bad to just leave. Because A: I would ruin the conversion, and B:...I dont think I have a B, I just felt too bad. So I bought some dumb mindless items, knowing very well I did not need them, and so 20 minutes later I was at another Pac Sun, making sure NOT to make friends with the people who worked there and quickly returned my purchases. Needless to say I am working on how to say 'no'.

Ok I have no idea how I got from talking about the good that is happening in my life to that ridiculous story. Anyway, moving on. I am still at my beloved parents house, taking online classes and like I said earlier practically living at Justice. Things are good here, not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be to be here again after being gone for 4 years. But by the same token it is a great motivator for me to get back down to thatcher. I know I am going to miss my job more than anything if I go back, because chances are I will have to work a crappy work study or CNA job, but I keep telling myself there will be other greater social payoffs, such as institute and devotional, church activities that you are almost forced to go to because there is nothing else to do ( i don't mean that to have a negative connotation), roomates YAY! my own house ( I havent had my own space in about 7 months now, I freakin miss it!) actually taking meaningful classes, and best of all performing again, CHEER!:)

Well thats about where I am at right now, working, attempting online classes, trying to save along the way, and nightly wanting to punch Casey in the face cause he is so annoying...life is ok, no major complaints.
