Final Decision

I have decided not to give up on The Home Depot thing and just pull through. If a better opportunity arises, then I shall take it, but for now, I'm here to stay! I can't leave my fellow co-workers/friends. I have invested my heart & soul into everything I do, and for that, it has paid off. A couple of my co-workers have turned out to be best friends and a few others as good friends. Honestly speaking, it's one of the best feelings to have when you know that you have friends that'll back you up in any scenario at work or out of work. So with that said, I'm not leaving, I repeat, I'm here to stay!

I'll keep everyone posted here, since there is no way of contacted me except through the home telephone line. But who does that nowadays? Not everyone at least because people these days carry what we call cellular phones. People just can't live without it, but I'm doing well without one. Usually, I'm one of those people that can't live without one, but quoting Confuscious, "Patience is a Virtue." I can't stress that enough.

Some people just can't endure patience. For instance, Saturday, June 30, I encountered a customer that was really snappy towards a fellow associate of mine that currently works at the Pro Desk. Name: Curt. He was nicely helping the customer, which happened to be a war vet that was mentally ill. Not to the extremity thankfully. The customer got a little pushy and raised his voice a bit. But I was there to intervene and assist Curt in what the customer needed because they happened to be in my department. So I gave Curt a helping hand because he definitely needed it. So I was the customer's personal assistant, and thankfully, I was able to find everything that he needed.

He was looking for sprinkler spikes by the way, so I took him all the way out to Outside Garden to get them. As I escorted the customer inside, on our way, he was rude to other customer saying, "Get out of my way, I'm in a hurry." The other customer talked back saying something I can't recall, but the customer I was with, (the war vet) replied with, in these words exactly, "Don't tell me what to do, you're not my mother!" I saw the look on the lady's face...she looked shocked, but what can I do? I had to get him out of the store because if he was in there for any longer, he would seriously just yell his head off at everyone. I helped him towards a register, the closest one, which was returns, but no one was ready, so he got a bit irritated. So luckily, I had a back up till...so I opened up the register for him and rang him up myself. He was very thankful that I helped him out, and knowing that gave me a sense of relief because boy oh boy, he was a handful.

I told Curt the whole story, and he was still irritated, but at the same time thankful that I was there to help. That's what I'm here for...You can do it, we can help. Stupid, but oh so true.

Today, is the eve of 4th of July, and tonight, I'll be going to The House of Blues. They are holding a celebration event, plus I'll be meeting with one of my best friends, Kristian and his soon to be wife, Jacque. I'll be bringing along my soon to be wife, Jaina since she finally turned 21. Sorry to you cats under 21...you'll have your time.

3 more days till the arrival of my iPhone. Then you'll finally have a way of contacting me.

I am out. Enjoi the 4th of July because I sure will. I'll be drunk as a mother.
