2am: I totally wish I wasn’t having to get off break right now :(…this sucks.

5am: Wow the pace of work today has totally changed…We aren’t standing around waiting for the fixture team or begging Donny what we should do next…instead we are opening box after box of product and everyone from the overnight seems to be awake. For some strange reason though the team leader for food is here JOan and it’s as if she only knows MY name. She’s been calling “Corinne can you do this? Corinne can you do that? Corinne can you take this back, and clean up this spill…Corinne can you help these people work this out.” It is kind of annoying that she keeps calling on me because it’s not like I’m not already busy or slackinig off it’s as if my name is the only one she knows and she knows that I’ll get the job done.

It’s been so tiring this second part of my shift because my Target greatland is remodeling and getting in produce…and becoming a full grocery store “Super Target”. I’m not going to be around to enjoy the super target because I’ll be in Scotland on the 29th of April and leaving on the 27th of April and the super target is reopening up on the 15th of April. They call all the target produce Pfresh and this whole time I’ve been working at target has been leading up to pfresh being set up. It’s been a really fun experience and I’m happy to have had the opportunity to work here. I kind of wish I could continue working at Target because it is so nice to actually have a consistant job and a paycheck every week. I feel that it has been extremely hard trying to do my Scotland job search because it’s like no one is actually getting back to me about working.

I’m going to have to get a visa soon but I’m not sure which visa i’ll have to get. I recently recieved a letter from the people at Aberdeen University saying that they’d recieved my application to their university. Aberdeen wasn’t my first choice in university but they did have classes that pertained to what I wanted to study. I haven’t heard anything back from the other universities yet. The sad thing is that I can’t get my visa application as a student unless I get accepted into a university first.

I have to be in the United States in order to get my visa interview so I’m really nervous that I may need to head back to the United states after I get to Scotland in order to get my visa to live in Scotland. This next month is going to be crazy! Not only do I still have major Scotland planning to do but I also have just heard that because the remodel is almost over that they might be cutting my hours soon to next to nothing.

I’m beginning to feel like an old maid because of this job…it is a lot of manuel work and day to day I’m not sure what I will be lifting. One day light
diapers and toilet paper and the next day heavy cases of water and bags of dog food. I feel that in a way all this working out is helping my body develop calorie burning muscle but…my back is hurting. I’ve been trying to lift as I am instructed and I am trying to lift with my knees but I am still suffering. I feel that part of it may be because I don’t have a comfortable bed to correct my posture…

I’m afraid that my back will form a hump and I will begin to look like an old lady. I only have about 49 days till I’m in Scotland…wow the time is flying till that date. Hopefully I’ll have a comfortable bed to go home to bed I arrive there.

I hope to be a lot better to my body when I get to Scotland. Hopefully I’ll find a job there that is good to my body too. Nothing like this planogram job where I am completely exhausted and feeling like I’ve had a total workout at the end of the day.

Craig and I are in a long distance relationship.
Craig is in Scotland and I am in The United States.
I have a co-worker named Eric who is 24 years old.
He’s expecting a baby boy with his girlfriend come August.
He told me that he doesn’t think that my relationship with Craig is a “real relationship” because I don’t have a physical relationship with Craig.
For some reason Eric’s opinion of my relationship really hurt me tonight.
I totally want what he has…the perfect set up with the prospect of a happy future…

but in a way… his opinion is like dirt to me because he doesn’t have the “right kind” of relationship.

I don’t know exactly what the right kind is… but I can feel that Eric’s is wrong.

Nakomi keeps trying to get me into religious arguements with me…when he begins he never ends and as much as I want to defend my religious views I don’t want to go against what I believe is true…that God is not a God of Confusion and that no one in Christ should be one to argue…what am I to do when I know that GOD as an entity isn’t a HE…and that Woman are not inferior to men…and that Men are not supposed to be considered more important than woman…and that woman were made for man in God’s image just as much as woman are.

I really want to use giant Target Brown lunch bags somewhere in my wedding…I don’t know where. There is something about their simplicity and the creative potential that they show that I’d really like to express on my special day.

I had a really big idea that I wanted to have brown with another color as part of my wedding…mainly because whenever I think of Craig I think of sophistication and Coffee…I was setting the bags up today during my first part of my shift at Target and they were exactly what I could imagine or in a gift bag or a candy station bag…since I want to have a candy
station I can totally see that happening.

I also really want to use a lot of other things I see laying around at Target…like their candles by glad.

I’m getting sorta of tired of all the complaining that is happening at my job at Target Greatland in Brooklyn Park.

My co-workers are constantly complaining about my boss Donny and the way he goes about doing business.

there are also complaints about the lack of hours when 40 hours a week has become our Norm.

It makes me sick, it is annoying and distracting and I feel no reason better but to complain here on my blog about the complainers.

The complainers stand around and they don’t do anything but complain…and as you listen to them and ‘keep working’ they keep standing around and not.

They don’t associate the working to getting their work done any sooner and getting to go home early.

I hope that soon they get a warning that they deserve and are sent home for not contributing.
