Mood: confused
No, this is not one of those little girl diary entries saying "I hate my body! I'm so ugly and fat and blah blah blah". Just thought I'd say that to start things off. Now, the reason why I say this, is because I am just realizing how bad my back is. I was on my feet for only 2 and a half hours straight, and my calves started to ache. And while getting only a 20 lbs bag of ice, I thought my back was done for good. It felt very heavy on my legs after so long.
At work, I felt like I could do nothing right. One of my co-workers named Ish asked me to take back a half gallon of milk and bring back a half gallon of whole milk (of a different brand) for a customer. I hadn't heard the half gallon part, so I brought back a whole gallon. He looked so pissed,
"Not a whole gallon! I said a half gallon"
I blushed and said, "Oh, a half gallon?"
He grabbed the gallon I was holding said. "I'll get it myself." Then took off running to replace it.
I felt so embarrassed and horrible, what a first impression. And along side that, the person in charge asked me to hand him some plastic bags because he was all out, but I didn't hear him, what I heard was "there are plastic bags for you", or something to that extent. So obviously I didn't get any, and after a moment he rushed around and got them himself. That's when it hit me that he had asked me to get him some.
I'm kind of too embarrassed to go back today. I don't want to make a fool of myself again. That'd just be too horrible.
And my first day, oh boy, what a day that was. I was collecting carts from the parking lot and started up the sidewalk, when this guy standing about 20 feet away says,
"M'am! M'am! Did you just try to run me over with your carts?"
My eyes must have grew 10x their normal size. I said, "I'd never do that, Sir."
He gave me a mean look "yeah, right." Then he rode off on his bike.
Another man that was gearing up for his bike said, "Yeah, you really look like the psycho, run people down with the carts, kind of girl."
I smiled and told him, "Yeah, that's me for you." Then continued inside. Only a few moments later while I was bagging groceries, I heard my name. I looked over to see that same guy telling a few of my co-workers I tried running him over with the carts. My eyes grew wide and I just turned back and continued bagging groceries.
While I went to round up carts again, a girl smiles and says "Did you try running that man over with the carts?"
I only smiled and said "Yes, you know me, that's what I do."
She smiled as she walked off, "Yeah, I'd love you if you did."
I think my first day went better than my 2nd. It was crazy how things were the 2nd day, just a lot more packed. I didn't get my break, and sense I hadn't taken my medicine, I was feeling a bit woozy. Finally one of my co-workers named Shanon told me to get what I wanted and to pay for it later, but to just go have my break.
I got myself some water, called my mom to tell her to bring my medicine, then I felt better. But I still feel bad about not hearing those people. So embarrased.
