leah...

so brent needs to blog. i think he fell off the face of the earth. so basically, i am going to have him blog today. friday at work was crazzzyyyy boring, and i did a double shift. i was there by 9 and didnt leave till 8 at night. then i went in at 1 on saturday and was there till 1030ish. it was crazy busy all day, the store was so trashed. i am just glad i had off today. so brent had to work today from 10-3. so i dropped him off and went to the beach!!! i felt bad though because the waves today were huge, every other day that i go with brent... there arent any waves, so skim boarding isnt as fun for him. today they were awesome, and he wasnt there. so anywho.... i start my new job this week, as well as still working macys. when i told them i was quiting, they offered me the chanel counter position... which is a big deal. but i said no because i dont like macys... its crazy over the holidays. so next week i train at the vets from 8-11 and work macys 1230-930 like 3 days. they wanted me to get acquainted with the computer system before i start. i actually want to get a weekend job just to give us a little extra money for the holidays and things. i am going to go around to some restaraunts... then maybe to pizza hut. i never minded that job, and i already know what i am doing. so it would be good. anyways.... just my little update. but i am on my way! loveyou missyou. angelia.

leah.

so nothing really has been happening lately, at least nothing that good.

1. Macy's is not what I thought it would be. First of all I thought you made alot more for selling the daily goal. My daily goal is like 1400, and after returns you basically need to sell like 2 grand a day to make any extra money. I talked with a few other girls that are new there as well, and they definetly had the same impression that I had. They were all SOOO excited about this job because they thought they would make bigggg money, which is not the case. I found out over 50 percent of the store associates are in defecit. Which means, each week if you dont m ake your goals, when you do start making over and making extra money, the company takes it. So you still dont make anything extra. So basically I get paid 9 dollars an hour to run my ASS off and kiss rich peoples asses, for no reason.

2. I semi got offered a job at a vet office, as front desk. For the same thing that I make at Macy's but I HAVE A CHAIR TO SIT IN. and i have to kiss nobodys ass, but on rare occasion. I get to be nice, play with puppies, and check people in. And since I am going to school for accounting, front desk experience is good on my resume. The guy that interviewed me was really nice, his wife is the vet and they run a vet hospital. And the other girls that work there seem to be really nice as well.... So on Tuesday I go in to shadow one of the girls from 8-11 and based on that is whether I get the job. Hopefully all goes well, because I am sick of Macys.

3. I can't wait to start school. Basically they are just waiting to process my financial aid because my last name changed, so I had to get a new ss card. But when I try to go in and edit my FAFSA, I cant becauseeee the name that the ss office has on file for me, isn't my married name. So I am just waiting to get my new card, then if all goes well I can start school.

4. Kiki (our cat) has finally started to actually warm up to us and cuddle and do what cats are supposed to do BUT.... Brent was changing the sheets yesterday to put them in the laundry and we realized that he had peed on our new mattress!!!!! Thankfully we have a expensive, liquid resistant mattress cover, so the mattress it self is okay... but still. And then we decided to look under the bed, because he lays there a lot when we are at work. And we found one spot so far :( so we think we have to get rid of him, which is really sad for us. So, today I am going to email the woman that gave him too us and see if she will take him back or find a different home for him. Or I don't know what we will do. Anyways, sad news for us.



Well its life.
loveyou missyou peace angelia

Hey guys

I know I haven't blogged for a while, but it feels like im running out of things to talk about. Leah and I are both looking for jobs 24/7. She decided that she hates macy's and doesn't get treated fairly there. I completely understand (commissioned sales was my least favorite job ever). I applied today at a roofing company as a driver. They said they were willing to train as long as I have a clean driving record so Ill follow up with them after the weekend. I also applied as a pharmacy technician at cvs. They preferred experience but said they were willing to train. They already hired a girl that had previous experience at cvs, but I talked to a lady there today that said this doesn't mean that I won't be hired too. I have an interview at target on monday for a part time position. If I got this job then I would keep the job at panera and work a total of 40-50 hours a week.

Leah has some interesting job possibilities. There is a babysitting job that pays really well that would be full time. She applied for this and also for a position at a dance studio in Jupiter. She got a call from a lady at the dance studio and they are organizing a meeting as I type. If she gets the job there she would be teaching ballroom. pretty cool huh?

I saw a ferrari today. Two days ago I saw a dodge viper and a plymouth prowler. I saw an amazing car that Id never heard of before at the beach called Mosler. I looked it up on the internet and found out I never heard of it before because the company is based in riviera beach Fl. (10 minutes from us). I see lamborginis and lotus's now and then. All these nice cars make me want a job in valet.

the cops here are nuts. the police force here is bigger than the south west class of 2008. maybe not but it feels like it. motorcycle police hide every day under an overpass and wait to pull people over coming off the exit ramp. we see them at it every single day. sometimes I think they are just making up their own reasons as to why they pull every other car over.

I just finished reading breaking dawn, and I think I need to let everyone know that there has never been a better fantasy fiction series. Not even harry potter. sorry jk rowling.

oh, one more thing. I've been really excited ever since leah found out about the university of phoenix. I have been waiting to hear back from florida atlantic but regardless of whether im accepted there or not I'll be looking into the university of phoenix for myself.

what say leah

hey guys.
a boring post again... not much has happened here. last friday i had off and brent went to his concert. he had a lot of fun. me and kiki cuddled and watched movies all night. we watched becoming jane, WHICH IS AN AMAZING MOVIE... its about jane austen and it has anne hathaway. basically every woman or boy that likes chick flicks should watch it. anywho, then i watched some gay olsen twins movie from there pre drug addict days ha, it was okay. then brent got home around 1, and we went to bed. saturday, i worked and i dont think anything else exciting happened. sunday, which was yesterday i went to work to get more hours. i worked like 12-6ish and sold 1800... so i made like 800 over the sales goal. which is 171 per hour. then we relaxed. today i went to work.... i had a lot of returns at different registers, which gets deducted from your daily goal, so it was hard to make the goal today but i sold like 1500, only like 150 over the goal, but yet it was done so i was content. TOMORROW I HAVE OFF!!!! i am so excited. Anywho, this week is going to be hellish at work becuase we have a corporate visit, from the CEO over ALLLL of the macys in the us. He only picked 3 macys out of the 200 in florida to visit, and we were one of them. soooo.... anywho, everybody at work is being a little coo coo. needless to say, i am happy i have tomorrow off.
well... love you miss you peace.. angelia
