Which One Is the Turkey?

Happy Thanksgiving!!

As I reflect on the past thanksgivings, today for me is a little like another day. A new place to enjoy a meal, some new people to meet. No traditional family time, this thanksgiving is without family in Colorado and family now in Illinois. Today I will miss them!!

I am thankful for so many things. I am thankful for a job and the ability to continue to overcome struggles. I am thankful for my family, I know that although miles separates us, we support each other. I am thankful for a great group of supporting friends, without them these transitions would be unbearable. And last but not least, I am thankful for my turkey! (can you tell which one is the real turkey?)

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! And don't forget that NOW you can start listening to Christmas music and put up your decorations!

Well, after a great deal of praying, and praying, and frustration, I now have another job. Well right now I actually have two other jobs for the time being. I am tutoring a student, which I started today. That is going to be for about one month, some extra cash in my pocket. The other job is JC Penny in the Home Goods department, RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. I am currently hired on as holiday help right now, but hope to impress all and get hired on after the holidays. (The GM already loves my personality, um, who doesn't).

So I have had two days of training so far, mostly watching videos and such. The second day of training was learning the computer system, (not really that hard for me). After the three hour tutorial, you have to take a BIG test, and if you don't pass the BIG test, you have to do the tutorial all over again, NOT HAPPENING FOR ME. While taking the test, I did have some test anxiety. For every right answer I got, I would congratulate myself with a "Yes" or "Bonus". At the end of the test, I got 100%!!!! No retaking the tutorial for me!! I did say rather loudly in the large room, only occupied by me, YIPPEE I GOT 100%!! Someone in the hallway probably thought I was rather weird! Well, they must know me already!

So tonight I was the official "Greeter" and passed out bags to customers to put their shopping in so they could fill it up more. First, totally noticed that I need a different pair of shoes for their floor. Second, I really love shopping for other people! Although I was only a greeter and didn't really know the store, I decorated two peoples bedrooms, and one person's bathroom. I helped them pick out colors, with the full matching everything! I was an interior decorator inside. Top Design here is come!!!
