Happy belated Fourth of July everyone!!! Well, unless you're from Canada, then Happy Canada Day! So this past weekend was crazy to say the least! To begin it was a holiday weekend for 2/3 of North America, so the outlet store I work at was what I like to call cray-cray. Too insane to just be crazy, but there's no other way to describe it! People just yank clothes off of racks and piles - the moment you fold something it is taken by some woman looking for a bargain and if you're lucky she'll throw it back down on the pile. And then you refold it. Most of the time I worked the register, which isn't as bad, but it's just nonstop! You ring up customer after customer after customer, and they are all annoyed it's taking so long. I'm sorry, I'm not a robot, and it didn't help that your mother in law didn't see half the store until you are physically standing in front of the register. It's actually kind of your fault its taking so long. My favorite thing though is that our registers don't let you swipe whenever you want. I have to get to a certain transaction screen before it will let you swipe. My favorite thing to do to customers I am annoyed with is let them swipe, then bag their items and then finally say oh I'm sorry, it wasn't ready to swipe yet, go ahead and do it again. Hehehe, then they have to do it all over, taking more time for them. For me it's all the same. Just serves them right for being impatient! You have to enjoy the small things in life!
Also this weekend I dogsat for a family whose dog is afraid of sounds, including fireworks. I spent all night with a 60 pound dog on my lap as I watched tv. When I went to bed he sat on my feet all night. Poor thing. Then I got called into work, followed by some babysitting, with work the next day (the 4th) and then went to see fireworks downtown with my sister and friends. Then there was a car accident and a hit and run so it took an hour for me to get home. Mind you I live 10 minutes away from where we watched the fireworks. So that was interesting.
Yeah CHEMISTRY! Well to update you all, I am almost half done with my second semester of chemistry. Monday I have my midterm and then another two and a half weeks before my final! And then 30 days before I leave for Copenhagen... ahhhhh!!!!
On the note of Copenhagen, I noticed there is a good figure skating club in the city. Since I've been skating since I was able to walk, it would be so fun if I could skate in Copenhagen! Or at least help them out a little.
Sorry this is so random. I'm watching some youtube videos while I'm blogging and it's not working well. So I should probably stop. Next time I'll make it quick, this was kinda long!!!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
