What's new everybody?
Not much has happened since my last post...
I had my last day at work which was pretty good, it was really long though...
I overflowed the coffee machine which I though was somewhat appropriate because that was how I started working at QT. :)
Sunday was the start of the missions conference, Monday we took some pictures, Tuesday my sisters had to do school (mwa ha ha ha) Tomorrow I'm going to go see "Shorts" with Grandma and then we're going to hang out 'till church that night. Then I get to hang out with Melissa!
Thursday going out to Who Knows Where.
Friday Missions Conference,
Saturday hanging out around Main Street with some friends.
Sunday Last day of the missions conference.
Then On Friday I LEAVE FOR COLLEGE! HOW SCARY IS THAT!
It still hasn't really sunk in for me that I'm actually going to college, kinda the same un-realness that I had when I was going to Peru.
Well, I think that's all for tonight.
night!
Go ye therefore and teach all nations... Matthew 28:19

"While the gold teeth were nice....I'd be a bit more choosy if I were you..."
Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 6:03pm
I wrote this on FB a little while ago, and most of you have probably heard this story already, but if not-here you go.
***
Okay, so I was at work on Tuesday and every once in a while, a non-QT employee, will come and SCRUB our bathrooms.
So I was talking to the guy that night, he was pretty nice. After we had talked for a while he looks at me and asks:
"Are you mixed race?"
". . . Excuse me?"
"Are you mixed race?"
". . . no."
"Really, you're white?"
"yes."
"You're very pretty."
"Oh, why thank you!"
"Seriously though, you're very pretty."
Well, we talked a little bit later and then he looks at me and quietly asks:
"Would it be cool if I call you some time?"
uhh...
Didn't know how to respond to that, so I pulled out my first line of defense-something that should shut down a few guys.
"What church do you go to?"
We were still talking quietly so he didn't hear me correctly.
"I go."
"Where???"
"St. Louis."
Okay, not what I meant, but okay.
Defense number 2--should shut almost any guy down.
"Guess how old I am."
He gave me a confused look.
"How old?"
"Seventeen."
~sad face~
Yes! Victory!
"When will you be 18?"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
"Not 'till January."
He paused.
"How 'bout we're just friends 'till then? Would that be cool?"
NO!...Come on man Really? REALLY!?
I don't even know the guys name!
Oh, and by the way, the guy is probably in his 30's.
I don't remember what I said to that, but I pulled out my third and final defense-almost guaranteed to get rid of any guy.
"Look, if you can convince my dad-no problem-sure."
"OOoohh, that'll be tough!"
Well DUH!!! You're closer to HIS age than mine!
Then he said something about being black.
"No, no, that's not the problem. He doesn't care what color a guy is, so long as he believes in Jesus Christ and is living his life right-color doesn't matter."
"Really?!"
"Yeah."
Silence
"What's his number?"
OH GOOD GRIEF MAN!
I didn't want to give out my dad's cell number to some random guy who knew that I was a minor but was still interested.
I told him that I'd talk to him Friday--he said he was supposed to be back to QT then--so, I'll see how serious he is tomorrow.
After he left I told the two guys I was working with about what happened, and later one of them came into the cooler.
"Hey Hannah, I have some advice for you."
"What?" I figured I was doing something wrong.
He said:
"While the gold teeth were nice...and he's got a pretty good job...I'd be a bit more choosy if I were you."

Last Day!
Okay, haven't updated in a loooong time...
How are you guys?
....
Good!
Well, lets see Fireworks stand went very very well, I still hate it, but this was probably the best year I've had of it.
Camp was Fantastic! Attitudes were awesome, and there were some kids who came with our church who accepted Christ as their Savior-ALWAYS Fantastic when that happens!
I got to know some friends better, which I am very happy about. :)
Camp started out kinda rough, everyone had their best friend, group, or boyfriend/girlfriend, so I was kinda left standing alone, or feeling in the way. But it got better.
Our speaker did a wonderful Job, I'll have to put up some notes.
Well, after I got home from camp on Friday, my Dad and I drove up to Wisconsin for our family reunion. That was a good time, got to see everybody! :D
Oh, and we made sparkler bombs-AWESOME!
Then me and Dad went and saw "UP"-very cute.
We [He] then drove home, and the next morning I got my wisdom teeth pulled.
A very good experience overall, nothing horrible happened, and the doctor and nurses were marvelous.
My face kinda hurt afterwords but that was to be expected....
I watched a LOT of TV and movies that week....
Well, I graduated to the college class and I love it! I'm really sad that I'm only going to be in there for a couple more weeks.
PCC is only about Two weeks away....
Today is my Last Day of work at QT until I come home from college! SO EXCITED!
I absolute love my job, but I'm ready to be done for a while :)
I'll have to tell you guys about Ronald on my next post...heeeheeeheeeheee....
Okay, I'm outta here for know, workin' 9 to 5 today.
See ya later!

Home!
Hey guys :)
Okay, time for me to update again. So first, I'll cover my flights home.
The flight from Lima to Miami was fine, kinda long. There was a lot of security, they checked your carry-on as you were boarding the flight.
We landed at Miami around 2 I think. We got off the flight and there were some police officers who looked like they were just hanging out in the hall.
Everyone just kinda picked a cop and got in line, they looked at your passport for a second, then looked at you-then gave you your passport and waved you through. :) Very casual.
So we all followed the signs that said "passport check" and we walked.
And walked.
And walked.
And walked.
And walked.
You're probably thinking that you have the idea by now but you don't.
We walked.
And walked.
And walked.
I was walking next to a girl-it's funny how you kinda group together with people when you're traveling--or maybe only I do that :)
But we kept walking then the hallway we were following led us to some bathrooms...she finally said "where are we even going?!" and the construction worker in the hall said "to the left of the bathroom"
So we walked to the left and through some glass doors.
Finally!
We were there!...so i thought.
but no.
We kept walking-walked right out through the other end of the glass doors.
We finally reached customs and there was almost no-one there. I walked up to on man who said I needed a blue and white card and that I needed to go to the back of the room to fill one out, and if there was a line when I got back I could cut to the front.
I filled out my card, and went to a different line because there were like 4 people without any lines at all.
So I got through that and went through a door and down an escalator to a baggage claim area---I didn't realize beforehand that I would have to re-check my baggage-I hadn't had to on the way to Lima.
So I waited for my bag, and waited, and waited--I looked at the clock 2:20
My flight boarded at 3:05.
My bag FINALLY comes through and I follow the crowd out the door.
I walk past some people and hear them talking-all of the sudden I hear "Ma'am!" so I turn and she checked my bag-I think they spoke to me in Spanish first, which is why I didn't turn around.
She told me to "follow the yellow dots" so I did, and walked and walked and walked-although that walk was not nearly as far as the walk to customs :)
So the yellow dots came to an end, and they took my bag from me and told me to follow the blue dots, which I did. I then ended up going up some stairs and in a large room--It looked like you could check bags and buy tickets in the area.
I have no idea how to get to my gate.
I don't even know what gate I'm supposed to get to-it wasn't on my boarding pass.
I stood there staring at my boarding pass when a man with an American Airlines ID badge walked up to me and said something in Spanish. I smiled and looked at him blankly.
He then said
"You lost already?"
"Yeah."
I don't remember the details of the conversation, but he pointed me to a lady in a red jacket to get my gate number.
He asked me when my flight was.
"3:05."
"You've gotta get a move-on girl!"
I got my gate number and then he instantly took off.
"Follow me."
We walked quickly around, he had just gotten back from Ecuador, and liked to casually swear in the middle of his sentances. He had an accent of some kind but I have no idea as to what kind it was.
At some point I clarified that I was not a Peruvian :)
We walked through some glass doors very similar to ones that I had walked through before, if they were not the same ones-But the interesting part was that the mat on the floor said "Do Not Enter"
He told me to have my passport out.
He showed his ID badge to a lady, and she glanced at my passport, didn't take it from me or open it, and waved us through.
"Short-cut" was all he said.
He led me to security and told the lady at the beginning of the line that I needed to get to my flight and asked if I could go to the front of the line or something.
She sent me through Priority Access.
I got through security okay and didn't pause to put my belt or coat back on. I finally got into the terminal area with signs to the gates.
THIS I knew how to navigate through!
I stopped to quickly tie my shoes and then started for my gate.
Of course it was at the opposite end of where I was. :)
I didn't run, but I came close to it.
I finally got to my gate and asked a guy what time it was.
"10 'till 3"
YAY! I MADE IT!
The plane didn't end up boarding until 3:15, so I had had plenty of time anyway.
Then I flew to St. Louis. and I knew that part of the airport.
I flew over church and that was cool, and from seeing church and then seeing where I worked, I could sort of figure out where my house was. :)
I had a great time in Peru :)
So, I work tomorrow at the Fireworks Stand and at QT, then I head over the G-ma's house, gonna spend the night and then hang out Friday.
Saturday I work Fireworks stand and QT,
Tuesday QT,
Wed, Fireworks,
Fri and Sat- Fireworks and QT.
Then Sunday is camp already.
Then Tuesday I get my wisdom teeth pulled. BUSY!
But it should settle down some after that...I hope it does anyway, that is a LOT.
Then I have to be in Pensacola Sept 5!
Alrighty, I think I have updated enough for tonight.
I need to go clean my room.
Night all!
Oh yeah,
I GOT MY DIPLOMA TODAY! :D :D

Don't know what's happened.
Hey Guys!
Don't really know what's happened that's too exciting lately...
(And on a side note-all of you Facebookers who can see this, it's from my blog, my dad somehow put it to where it automatically posts a note to facebook whenever I update)
Got my ACT results, I got a 26 and am eligible for the scholarship at PCC :)
Umm...Going to Camp.
Umm..... Work's going good, starting to get the hang of things. someone stole $200 worth of Lottery tickets last night (I wasn't working).
Enjoying work.
School is almost over! I am SO ready. I will be completly done with everything by May 26th at the latest. It's kinda funny, I'm ready to be done with school, because I want to go do more school :]
In case I haven't said anything about it-Scheduled to go to PCC this fall, with a major in missions and a minor in Graphic Design. Totally excited.
Got to work an extra hour today, that was nice.
Stayed up 'till midnight last night with my sisters watching Robin Hood, I finally found it online. *happy* Had a good time hanging out with them and watching the show. Many funny things were said... for example:
Me: This is SOOOO corny...I LOVE IT!
Esther: Oh, we're all about the corn.
ahhaaahaaahaa!
...
okay, so maybe you had to be there...but I promise it was hilarious.
Okay, I'm outta here.
Maybe I'll make more sense in the morning.
Night all!

54 Days 'Till Peru...1/2 a Night 'Till WI
In answer to Emma's question on the last post...No, they were not being mean when they "yelled" at me. :] thank you for asking.
Okay, so what's new....
Leaving for WI tomorrow morning bright and early...without the bright part. I like the car trip...don't think I would if I had to drive it, but just hanging out in the car; reading, writing, watching a movie, I like it. :D (Plus I get shotgun!)
Ready for school to be over...I was fine until the beginning of the fourth quarter, then I sent in my college application and now I'm very ready to be done!
Funny, I want to finish school...so that I can go do more school...hmmm...:]
Sent in all of my paperwork to Pensacola Christian College, and got a letter twoish days ago (i'll be made fun of for that one) anyway got a letter telling me I was accepted! Totally, excited! (Like, I know right? Whatever!-- Sorry, inside joke...okay, not sorry or I wouldn't have posted it :P)
I think I'm writing kinda haphazardly here... just ready to GO!
hmm....
College.
Planning on majoring in Missions with a broad field in Graphic Design. Fall semester 2009!
I believe that God works in every area in our lives, that everything that happens happens for a reason. God is soverign.
So noticing some things that are happening in mine, I think He's trying to get me to grow towards Him, a better relationship.
I don't know if that's why or not, but, I figure It would be very difficult for me to go wrong if I'm trying to grow in my relationship with Him. :]
Gonna miss my church...
AWANA's is almost over for the year and I am ready.
I love the kids but I miss going to service on Sunday nights.
Some random stuff since my last post:

Some random stuff since my last post:
- If evolution is partly survival of the fittest, why are humans (the fittest) trying to save the rainforest and endangered species??? Isn't that a bit contradictory?
- Nothing nearly as serious...since I've started watching this TV show "Lie to Me" I find myself watching face expressions in movies, trying to find tells and manipulators and the such like. :]
- I'm stealing Chelsy's awesome emoticon thingy. :]
- In my next post, I will post my short story about my first bus ride home from sagmount.
- MY SHEET MUSIC IS FINALLY IN!....ooohh...I should probably cancel my order at A&M music now...
- I'm much more comfortable at QT now, getting into the swing of things.
- I managed to fool at least 6 people into thinking I got fired on April Fools day. AGAIN I DID NOT GET FIRED, I AM HAPPILY EMPLOYED AT QT!...lets you see the effects and confusion of lying...
- April fools day was way fun :D May I quote S. --" IT'S A JOKE! APRIL FOOLS! APRIL FOOLS! DON'T HURT HIM!" ahhh.... that will make me laugh for a long time. :] (not my joke by the way, I got to observe someone else's.
Alrighty, I think I am done for tonight.
Have a great week guys!
Night All!

73 days 'till Peru
People are starting to yell at me again so here I am.
I met with some people from PCC (Pensacola Chritsian College) and sent in my application. Waiting to be accepted...really want to go.
I entered a photo contest and got 2nd place! (see above photo)
I've been working, and am starting to get the hang of my job. I also realized how much I love my job when I went into Wendy's the other day...I was VERY unimpressed with the staff.
QT people rock. (just so you know)
umm.... that's all i'll say for know.
alrighty.
night all.

88 Days
Okay,
Hi guys!
Still not a whole lot to say over here.
Work's going fine, nothing major happening, one of my managers said that I was doing really well, and I think I'm starting to get in the swing of things. I'm starting to like work a whole lot more. Hours are picking up too.
School...heehee don't want to talk about, I will talk about it when this quarter is over.
I will say, I read the first 5 chapters of Pride and Prejudice for Lit class and LOVED it. Jane Austen is hilarious.
88 Days 'till Peru.
Starting to read Let the Nations Be Glad, by John Piper, not even through with the first chapter and I really like it.
Just finished reading the "O'Malley" series by Dee Henderson, 5 books in all. It was nice, it's been a while since I've had a good book to read. I like reading it's just hard to find good books...you all already know my opinion of Twilight... :)
Trying to grow, trying to love God more than I love me, and in doing that loving my family more than I love me. In respect for what my parents ask, in the way I treat my sisters, I'm trying. Sometimes it gets kinda hard not to get discouraged because I see it when I mess up most of the time...It happens a lot.
Just so you guys know, Melissa Ham is absolutely fantastic.
Camp:
Going to Sr. High Camp this year "YAY" Way excited, I plan on playing a piano solo, gotta find a song. Plan on playing a duet with Amber...gotta find a song... And plan on playing accompaniment for Amber....Have a song, waiting for the music to arrive.... :)
Have to work tomorrow...
okay, yeah...i'm out of stuff to say.
Love you guys...well most of you...just kidding!

Come on!
Good Grief!
Do You People Not Have Lives of Your Own???
Okay, so I don't actually have a whole lot to say... ummm...
I'm Going to camp this summer. Yay! Will be playing a piano solo, and duet, and might be playing accompaniment, but don't know about that yet.
Got to hang out at church all day today for camp practice, love my church, don't think I can say that enough.
ummm....Work is going...well I guess. Nothing crazy, it gets hectic sometimes. Saturday I worked for four hours, it was really busy, because, we had "Disney Playhouse Live" at the family arena (apx 10 min away), a Cheerleading competition at the convention center (apx. 3 min away) and a big Mardi Gras thing on main street (no idea where).
I got my hair cut again, it's kinda the same style, just shorter, GOT to remember not to do that again...
Finally found some good books to read, it's been probably two years, give or take, since I've found really good fiction books.
Growing a lot lately, reading my Bible a lot more consistently, praying, and I've noticed my pride in certain areas, (some areas just realizing it's there, others seeing growth)
Had kind of a dry spell for a little while, and I was just struggling, that seems to be passing though.
Getting to know the people I work with better, so I hope to be a wittness to them.
Had AWANA tonight, love Sparks :D waaaay too cute!
Don't really know what else to say...ummm...
yeah, okay, I'm off for the night.
talk to all of ya later!

Peru
Hello everybody!
It's been a while : )
Not a whole lot going on.
I spent the last week catching up on home ec. Some of it went really really well...some of it did not...
I'm not getting a whole lot of hours at work, I'm told it will pick up at the end of February, but we'll see...
Well, we have a new President. It's interesting to go on Fox News "hot topics" blog and read the comments...it's just an amazing spirit of patriotism, and unity our country has...No, a lot of those people just rip at the others, it's not about the country, it's about the political party. And not necessarily everybody is like that, but most of the people who are posting are. It's very sad.
I'm half nervous, half not for our country...half not because I KNOW God knows exactly what He's doing, putting President Obama in control, but I'm not exactly excited to see where our country is going to go.
Who knows though, God could allow our country to continue to decline, or He could use President Obama to turn the country around.
We can't see what the next 5 minutes are going to be much less the next 4 years.
So, completely new subject...
I'm going to Peru!
I'm gonna go see Rachel, and do a short term mission trip type thing for my graduation...which implies that I need to graduate...
I'm gonna hang out with my Grandma next weekend, looking forward to that...I really don't have much else to say so...
Night All!

Quick Update
Okay, so I had a whole long thing written out, then I realized that I had it typed in Think on These Things, and blogger doesn't let you copy out of the posting box, so you get the quick version. :D
New Years Day I turned 17-I got sick and spent the day on the couch, but I got to watch BOB (band of brothers) with my dad so that was cool.
Grandma had to go home, very glad she was here!
Baby's doing good, love him lots!
Worked today, it was longer hours but the day went by pretty quick-I like everybody I work with-I got to go home early because we had so many people.
Church tomorrow, Yay! get to see everybody, (all of the sr. high went on a retreat)
Abbi take note! (If you're not Abbi feel free to ignore)-- "That post was the Comic book version!"
Alrighty! Night all!
...I told you it'd be quick!

- I took my ACT for the first (and only) time.
- My Grandma came for a visit
- We got to foster.
Wow, a lot has happened...
Went to church tonight, watched Fireproof, absolutely fantastic movie. We hung out for a litte while then came home
My sibs and g-ma are all sick, hoping it's just a quick little bug, and that the rest of us don't get whatever they have.
I'm absolutely loving playing the part of big sister to a baby, not used to that. : )
I'm playing with facebook, typing this, and watching Arsenic and Old Lace, trying to stay awake 'till midnight. : )
Curious to see what next year brings.
Whatever God wants to send I suppose :)
Alrighty, I'm off; I might update the other blog, idk.
Night all.
Happy new year!

Christmas is over...:( New years is soon though! :D
Hi everybody! what's up? How was your Christmas?
Mine was fantastic, We had a Christmas Eve service at our church. Me and my sibs all played the piano. Abbi and Esther both did very well...I totally slaughtered my song, but it was entirely my fault.
I was paying attention to the crowd and not my song. Completely destroying my song helped me pay attention to what I was focusing on.
So, I'm better off having messed up and embarrassed myself, than having done well. Thank you Lord!
The rest of the evening we played with the one gift we were allowed to open...Mario Kart! WAAAAAAY fun! Then we watched "White Christmas" and "A Muppet Christmas Carol" Then I sneaked off to my bedroom because I kept waking up camped out on the floor. (My sisters totally got on me about that)
Christmas day was fun, my sisters let us all sleep in until 7...:)
We read Luke 2, then opened presents.
I got Chris Tomlin Music *yes* and some other stuff, like awesome Eeyore pants!...My parents opened THE present, the one I have been SOOOO excited about.
We went to Sears Portrait Studio and got our pictures taken together, it was cool, and my parents Loved it! Way cool.
The rest of our family (G-ma Smith, Uncle Chris, Aunt Barb, Rachel & Maggie) showed up by 12:30 when we opened more gifts.
It was a good time... a looong day.
Friday, Mom and I picked up G-ma Sharky from the airport, and she's been hanging out with us.
That night Dad took me to go see "Bedtime Stories" (wait for the dollar show, it's nowhere near as good as "Night in the Mueseum".)
That night I also got a facebook account, which is confusing but fun.
Saturday was work, I got register time and am getting a little quicker. I work tomorrow at 4 and then am off until saturday!
Wed. Night is new years eve, going to church to watch "Fireproof" and hang out 'till midnight.
Thursday is my birthday! gonna be 17 It's exciting kinda...I mean...it's cool to have another birthday but I think 18 will be really exciting. : )
That's really all I got for now...I'll probably write more this week (which I have off! Sweet!)
Alrighty, write to ya later!

"Excuse me but...Where exactly was this in the job description...?"
Merry Christmas Everybody!!!
Okay, for an update...hmmm....
First off Work. When the job description said "cleaning restrooms" this was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was working a shift from noon to 6 on Saturday, it was about oh, 4:30, when a gentleman said
"You may want to check the men's restroom when you get a chance, it's pretty nasty."
I hopped down from the checkstand to go clean it. You could smell it out in the hallway, but I didn't think anything of it. (The men's room smells bad often)
Expecting some trash all over the floor (for some reason people don't like to take the extra half step to throw things IN the trash can...: )
Putting on my gloves and grabbing some cleaning spray, I opened the door, and most certainly did not see TRASH all over the floor.
And of course, guess who's shift ended soonest...Well I'll spare you the details but they let me go home a half hour early to go get a shower, and they said when the two guys on the next shift got there they would clean the rest of it.
That is my most recent experience at quik trip.
But on to better things...
CHRISTMAS IS TOMORROW! (16 hrs, 21 min, 5 sec away)
I am SOOO ready.
Tonight is the Christmas Eve service. Abbi, Esther and I will be playing the piano, so that will be fun.
The service is only supposed to last for an hour...:) we'll see....
My Grandma will be here the day after Christmas
I'll be 17 the week after, so this is an exciting time!
So today, I will be doing two school videos & homework and then as soon as thats done, watching all of those horrible old Christmas programs which I love so much! Then tonight's the service and tomorrow's Christmas!
Alright, I'm going to go eat.
Hope to see you guys tonight.
Merry Christmas!

Hello All!
Hey guys!
Been a while since I updated, sorry.
What's happened....
Okay, We had our cantata at Park Hills on Sunday, that was a lot of fun, we were there before the choir so we got to practice on more time, the choir/bus got lost, but they arrived in plenty of time. : )
The choir sounded good, and I really liked how, at the end when everyone sang it was SOOO loud! I really liked that a lot.
The choir sounded good, and I really liked how, at the end when everyone sang it was SOOO loud! I really liked that a lot.
So, the play:
For those who don't know, my part in the play was very small, I flirt with a guy who has a lot of money, then dump him over the phone when he runs out.
So I really don't know if I should be flattered or offended when people say "You are really good at that!"... no just kidding, it's fun. ; )
The play went really well, there were no big mix-ups in lines or anything.
And I think we all act pretty well. : )
Lets see... what else....
I worked Monday and Tuesday. I have to work Friday from 4 - 12, which, I don't want to work that late, but I would be fine if it weren't for the fact that my ACT is the next morning. I'm nervous as it is.
I can't really ask off though, because I'd been asking for more hours, so now they give me some... oh well, I'm pretty sure I'll be okay.
Tuesday I worked until 8, and as walked outside to my car I looked up, and there was the pepsi truck, parking me in.
lovely.
It was fine though, I just had to hang out for another 10 minutes, and it makes kind of a funny story.
...kinda like that camping trip...
We found out a little while ago, that the German Shepherd we had, Reggie, (who we had had to give back to the original owner because of the adoption) had to be put to sleep because he had a tumor. : (
So, it did work out well though, because we didn't have to do it.
I'm having trouble with the blog, so I'll put a couple of pics of him in a seperate post, later.
He was a cutie!
So, molly went to the vet because she's super fat and is losing her fur, she's got a thyroid problem, but nothing wrong with other internal organs so, she's good. *YAY*
Very excited, I get to go hang out with Melissa Ham tonight, we are going to go see "Fireproof" So excited! Love Melissa!
The Coolbaughs (my youth pastor and his family) came over Tuesday night, I was looking at pictures and it looked like they had a good time, but I was stuck behind a pepsi truck so I wouldn't know first hand... : )
I love the Coolbaughs so much, they really encourage all of us to grow. I am so thankful they came, I really don't think I would be the way I am now without them coming.
God works in all things.
I think that's about all I got right now... I cannot wait until Christmas, I am sooooooooo excited about what my sibs and I got my parents! I tell you that later. so excited!
Alrighty I need to go do school math now.
Talk to ya later!

A Sting, Thanksgiving, and The Pepsi Guys
What do those 3 things have in common???? Well, they're all going to be discussed in todays post, and they all involve my job.
So I worked last night from 4 until 10 o'clock.
In that time:
I traded shifts with Amy, my favorite co-worker. So I now work Thanksgiving until 10 o'clock. (that's a good thing, I want to work thanksgiving).
I dropped some beer in the cooler and it spilled. (lovely sickly sweet smell on my hands *ick*) it was only a small spill for those of you who plan to make fun, AND it's the first time it's happened. Okay first time it's happened and what I dropped broke. :)
The Pepsi guys came and filled the soda cooler, and they told us that two Pepsi guys out in Illinois had been held at gunpoint because the robbers thought they had money from QT.
Amy had a sting. In other words an 18 year old tried to buy beer, Amy carded her, which was a good thing because if she hadn't she would have gone to jail.
That made me paranoid and my rule has changed from QT's.
QT says if they look 26 or younger, card them, I say, You don't have grey hair, or you don't look my grandparents age, you will be carded.
Your opinion, time!
Okay, we have 2 guys waiting in line for the restroom, well, there is a guy (not a part-time clerk, and actual cleaner) in there cleaning. He's got this big yellow cart with a bunch of equipment sitting in front of the door, with just enough room to get through to the womens room, okay?
So,
Customer: Is someone in there cleaning?
Me (something along the lines of ): Yes.
Customer: You should have a sign out or something.
Amy(from the checkstand): We don't have a sign.
Customer: I'm just saying, you should get one or-
Amy: All of his stuff's in front of the door. You can use the womens-
Me: I'll go check the womens.
at this point the bathroom cleaner comes out and Customer goes in.
A few minutes later Customer comes out and mutters something about "behavior for a manager"
(Amy's not a manager by the way)
So he walks to the door and starts complaining. He says he was just trying to be helpful, and he doesn't come to QT to be treated like that, that's why he goes to QT's, repeats that a few times, calls Amy a rude name and then leaves.
Okay, Amy didn't think she was rude, the Manager didn't think she was rude, I didn't think she was rude. the only place I found possible fault in was "His stuff's in front of the door"
The guy's swearing was definately not necessary, but was he right to be upset?
(this is where you comment:)
So yes, last night was interesting... busier than most Tuesdays.
My sisters and I went Christmas shopping for our parents on Monday, Totally excited, cannot wait for Christmas. (btw, I LOVE having my liscence.)
Okay, I'm off to eat breakfast and start school.
see ya all later.

at this point the bathroom cleaner comes out and Customer goes in.
A few minutes later Customer comes out and mutters something about "behavior for a manager"
(Amy's not a manager by the way)
So he walks to the door and starts complaining. He says he was just trying to be helpful, and he doesn't come to QT to be treated like that, that's why he goes to QT's, repeats that a few times, calls Amy a rude name and then leaves.
Okay, Amy didn't think she was rude, the Manager didn't think she was rude, I didn't think she was rude. the only place I found possible fault in was "His stuff's in front of the door"
The guy's swearing was definately not necessary, but was he right to be upset?
(this is where you comment:)

Go ye therefore and teach all nations... Matthew 28:19
