Over Thanksgiving break I was hired back for just sixteen hours, but those sixteen hours provided some time to see my friends (and second family) that I used to see all the time until the summer when I only worked weekends and then none of them at all for three and a half months! I was in production hanging and ticketing apparel and when the 5:00 shift started, Holly and Mai came up behind me and gave me big hugs, Rachel couldn't believe I came back, Keith was surprised to see me there and was even more surprised to find out I was working. My favorite reaction was from Bob, though. He came in the back to do something for new goods (which is right next to the apparel station) and I said, "Hi Bob." He looked at me and said hi back, but then he did a double take and said, "Hi Kellie. How are you?" I guess he wasn't expecting to see me. Now that I write it, it doesn't seem as funny, but at the time is was amusing. Oh, I also met my brother's girlfriend too! I am so proud of him. It took him three tries, but he finally found a great girl. It seems that many people date each other at Goodwill Sigh, they don't always work out though... :(
I was so glad to work with my friends again and see many of the same people I worked with. There were also many new faces, but that was because a lot of them are seasonal, but my team leaders (managers) said I can come back over the summer as well because they do like me and my work ethic (I don't want to brag, but I belive I'm a good worker).
I probably would have been happier to work on Saturday, but I was in a crabby mood because of my house (not the people, just the house) and I hope that not too many people noticed, but Adam did notice. We didn't talk much, but that little bit was good enough because of my mood and I don't want to always talk to him like we used to.
Saturday night after the store was clean I asked Kat if I should just keep my apron in my brother's locker until I came back for Christmas break and she said that that would be fine. She asked when I would be back and I said that I didn't know for sure because it depended on finals and the weather. Hopefully I am not held back due to weather, or any reason at all! It was then that she said I could come back in the summer. I told her it depends what I have to work at the mill, but that I would love to if it works out. It's so good to know that they are flexible and willing to work with my schedule because they could have easily just said no since I wouldn't be able to work as much as I used to. I am truly blessed to have the greatest part-time job in the world :)
It sounds like you have a great place to work!
