    • Unlimited free movies
    • Some of the managers are really nice. There's one that *always* jokes around and asks if I dyed my hair or got a new piercing.
    • My co-workers. Probably the main reason why I haven't left yet. I have loads of fun working with some of them... just a couple nights ago, we got bored and started playing hockey with broomsticks and smashed plastic cups. We were playing right in front of one of the managers and she told us to move cause the customers might see. LOL
    • I'm much more confident and outgoing now

    well I have only been working for a week, but everyone is really nice, they like to joke around and chat, the work itself is simple, pretty much all the custamers are older people who really dont mind that it might take me a bit to figer things out, everyone knows all the delivery men by name, and joke around with them etc.. its really very simple stuff, today I spent my entire day(8 hours) replacing order numbers on the shelves, and I still aint done! I mean basicly what I do is place orders(reading the stickers and typing numbers into a computer) and when orders come in open boxes, stick on the inventory stickers, toss em in a cart and put them away, with the occasional till work in between, and thats about it lol not too tricky, and only one crabby co-worker who nobody likes and nobody takes seriously anyway, why on earth she is working with the public is beyond me lol

    I like the freedom of being able to try new recipes or creating my own. My Captain can spot a homemade cake over a boxed cake in a heartbeat or a homemade pie over a thrown together quickie and always compliments me on them. I love it when I cook something they really like and they all but threaten each others lives on who gets the left overs first!!

    Then I love it when they come to me for advice or they need help with something, a lost button, a slpinter in their finger, what to do for that tummy ache... The cook is Dear Abby, Dr. Mom, and a all around problem solver out there on the river. Some of them even ask me to make them cards to send home for a birthday or some special day since I take a laptop and printer out there with me and I love doing things on the computer for them. Best of all I LOVE THE PAY AND TIME OFF!!
