Week One

It has already been one week since starting work at the DG and I am enjoying it and my co-workers.
I am grateful for the store manager working with my baby-sitting schedule.
On my second day, a co-worker told me that she was giving me a week to see if I stay and I have made it. (laughing) Several people had quit within the past 3 weeks before I started which its shocking with the unemployment percentage high. Its fun and hard work which is nothing new because I always work hard not bragging or anything. I have learned that har work pays off in the long run.

New Job

I went in Tuesday morning, May 10, 2011 for orientation and also did some training.

I worked my first night last night Thursday, May 12, 2011. It was fun and an interesting night. Let me just say an older lady made a mountain out of a mole hill. She was paying with check and cash. She gave me cash and wrote a check for an even amount, well dollar general's policy is a check cannot be wrote OVER the amount. So, it took over 10 minutes for the shift supervisor to get her to write another check for the exact amount. That is just half of the story!

I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to work with Dollar General. It took me a while to finally get the job. God knew just what was awaiting me!

MY MOTHER IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD

My beloved Mother is the GREATEST person in the world.

She has been by my side through good and bad times.

I would not want any other person to call mom than the one God blessed me with.

Thank God for Mother's Love – Anonymous

A mother's patience of a saint could only be by the hand of God.

There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.



HAPPY Day

This morning at 9:36am, I received a call that I have been waiting on for several weeks now. I had a second interview with Dollar General in my residing town. Today, the store manager called and asked if I was still interested in employment and I replied, DEFINITELY! I was instructed to come in to discuss the position. So I went in, we discussed the position; although it is part-time I still accepted it. I was given instructions to complete paperwork (tax information, direct deposit, etc). So now I am just waiting on him to get the OK to put me on the schedule soon, once my background check comes back.
I am thanking God for this. I has been a long wait!
