Anton- Thank you for updating us! I am thrilled everything with the P&G is going so well.
You had me laughing so hard with visualizing how you handled the HR when they asked if you had been on any medication in the last 5 yrs. WOW glad they didn't make you do a physical and ask about all the marks on the belly. Anyway I am sooooo excited about your wedding planning...trust me dh call tell you I had everything planned out the night we got engaged, yep down to the boutineers. I so HOPE we can cycle around the holidays together it would be the most special Christmas to make our dreams come true!Kynlee- Wow it seems so surreal soon you will be getting released to the obgyn, I know you are nervous but excited. It's a big milestone AND I'm cheering you all the way to the day you bring this baby home!
Nicole- You know I'll be stalking you on your beta tomorrow, I am praying hard over here and cannot wait to hear your news!!!!
AFM: Well I think I handled my coworker better then to be expected today. She opened with me this morning and came in starving so I knew she would be grouchy. Therefore before we opened the doors for business I took her to Target where she got a Starbucks coffee (she paid for her own coffee of course) but I treated her to Pumpkin bread. As we were walking back she told me about her boyfriend being an alcoholic and almost leaving him 3 days ago to move in her mom back in Atlanta, Ga. They had a fight about his drinking how he's never going to amount to anything, obviously not changing his ways, been this way for 2 yrs and she's been trying to change him ever since. Said he hasn't helped her pack one single box to get everything moved over to his mother's, obviously he's not very thrilled about that! She said she almost left him 3 days ago but thought she would give him one last chance....(This girl has been homeless before but she was because she left her first husband since he physically abused her- she said.) She tells me her boyfriend isn't like that but he needs to carry his load and be more financially supportive. All I could think was oh no this is getting worse and worse all the time. Here she is in her second trimester and now thinking about leaving the guy who got her pregnant. I pretty much didn't bring up anything else but she did markdowns today and worked with the merchandise. She didn't sell though so I had to pass off customers to her but it was irritiating that she stayed in her own world today. As she was leaving to go home she said I don't know what I'm going to do...I said well you could count your blessings that at least you are able to be pregnant. She said I know I know...but its like a double-edge sword. She said I can't even take care of myself. I couldn't say anything more and walked away. She left..I spoke briefly to my boss who sill feels sorry for her that she makes bad decisions...I jumped in and said however she is the one making them and she needs to grow up and be responsible. We agreed as for work she needs to learn to leave her problems at the door..Of course she wants to be there for her but at the same time this has turned into a mountain and she really needs professional help at this point. Long story short I don't think she'll be working with us much longer esp when she starts to see her hours being cut. Ultimately my boss said she will cut her hours that if she doesn't start to show an improvement in her behavior especially with the customers.
