Closing.

I was scheduled to work until 10:00PM tonight, which is the first time it has happened. Really i’m only supposed to stay until 9:45 PM at the latest but I decided that i’d stay after like all of the other 18+ people to help clean the store so we could close. This was the first time i’ve ever stayed after. I ended up leaving Target at 11:20ish or so.

I guess the main reason that I stayed after was because i’d get an excuse to chill out with Janelle. Seriously, very few gals even compare to how awesome she is. It was fun, I got to spend some of the day with her from work this afternoon until closing tonight. After all the minors left, I stayed on register until we ‘closed’ the store. After that, I restocked all the bags at the registers before collecting all the hangars and dumping them in the back room. I wanted to stay with Janelle because I had no idea what I was doing and so we went to help clean up the Softlines department.

At first, we started cleaning and organizing the clearance racks until it was mostly satisfactory. Then Janelle got assigned to Lingerie, and I was told to assist her when I got done. After mucking around and cleaning up the clearance area, I finally went over to help her out. We got to talk for a little bit about various things and joked around about various undergarments, which was fun. After that, we were assigned to organize the Baby stuff. That was when we were both like falling over and suffering from exhaustion, but the zone was called and we were able to go home. She then drove me home and i’m here now. Tommorrow, she and I work from 8AM until 4:30PM.

Something weird happened though. I could have sworn that I saw my old best friend, Shana O’Brien applying for a job. If I was able to work with her, that’d be friggin’ amazing. I haven’t talked to her in years and I really wish I could. I should have said something, but I guess I was just too shy. She looked at me, and I wonder if she knew it was me.

I seem to have lost my good Target name tag, and so i’m stuck with a “New Team Member” one until they are able to order me a new one. I think I lost it somewhere inside the house, but i’m not sure. Either way, I just want my name tag back. It’s like a badge of pride, you know?

Yesterday, Sophie came home. She’s actually well enough to be at home which is good. She ran into the study when she got home and wagged her tail and licked my hand before I realized she was even there. I really missed her. I wonder how she is going to take Shadow not being around…

My dad also gave me a Zune yesterday. So far, I’m really enjoying it. I don’t have anywhere near all of my music on it though. Most of my music is on my old desktop which kind of died. I really need to get that fixed. Speaking of computers dying, the old Craptop’s screen went out. I treid plugging it up to an old monitor and it still wouldn’t work, so i’m not sure what’s going on. That more or less means I won’t be on instant messengers for a while because I don’t want to put them on my gaming machine. Well, other than XFire.

Anyway, I should be getting to bed because I have to be back at work bright and early in the morning. Hopefully it will be a good time.
