Essay!

I hate having school work on my back to finish because I am always up so late. I get off work at 9:30 and then have homework to finish it gets hard to handle but I manage to do it. Right now I have to go finish a essay for Mrs. Dickerson. If I dont I will have ICU when I come back to school on monday. So I have to go finish that. This is all Im going to right today so Ill talk to you guys tomorrow.

Long Break

We have a 3 day weekend for martin luther king day. so this will be my last blog till i guess tuesday. I have work everyday but sunday and this is going to suck having to work on a day we are out of school. well I guess you don't always get what you want. Right? Well I guess this is going to be it for today...We'll see y'all next week!

Raise!

Do you know how to get a raise?

 

To get a raise, you need to do everything correct. Try your best to get moved to the back some people call it "kissing butt" call it what you want. I guarantee you that you will be making more than regular pay. Sometimes it might not be fun in the back but i guarantee you that you will love that quarter more an hour. although that doesn't sound like much, it really shows come pay day...say you make $7.25 now, when you get that raise and start making $7.50. Say you make $213.88 (7.25 an hour) and with the raise 221.25 (7.50 an hour) I know that's not a whole lot but its well worth working to get. I love my job and sometimes you have to step up and ask for a raise. Like for instants I've been in the back since about May or end of April, I haven't got a raise yet but coming up on my year I plan to ask for a raise. Sometimes you need to just go with your gut on things, Maybe not everything because it could turn around and bite you.

More Hours!

The key to getting more hours at your job is to do whatever it is that you have to do, constantly. Do your job good and exactly the way your boss wants you to do it. If your boss sees that you do not want to work by the way you act towards customers then he won't schedule you a lot of hours. That's how I got in the stocking crew because I did exactly what my boss asked me to do< I always had a smile on my face doing it, I never called in sick just to go somewhere, and I was always working doing something. My boss said I was one of the few baggers that he liked. I get close to 30 hours every week now because I am good at what I do, I never complain when I'm asked to do something, and I never say "okay" it's always "Yes Sir."

Stockers!

So last week, my boss called a meeting with the stockers only. I'm not going to lie or act like I wasn't scared when I truly was. I thought we had done something wrong honestly. The meeting was basically about how well we do our job, and if he didn't have a good stock crew at night...he couldn't count on anyone to keep the store running. So this really boosted our heads up because we knew the boss counts on us to run his store at night not the managers.

Christmas Break!

My Christmas break went to good...other than the fact that i had to work everyday during it. Work is always busy during the holidays mainly because everybody is doing dinners and other businesses are busy for parents are shopping for presents. Grocery stores make the most money around holidays mainly because you need food to eat at dinners.
