I survived today!
That makes it sound like the day was something to survive. My day started off great! I wasn't even sleepy this morning when I went to work at 7 am. It was a weird morning but I liked it. I was the only manager in the store and it was just stress free.
I love helping customers that welcome help and that treat me the way I want to be treated because I treat them the way they want to be treated. Ha. 
I spoke to this older man who kept thanking me for my hard work. I told him he doesn't have to thank me. He asked me what I wanted to do with my life because he told me he was gonna travel to Alaska with his three dogs. I told him I wanted to teach in Japan and that the country is less than 10% Christian and that I thought it seemed like an amazing opportunity. He gave me some encouragement then asked me about my major. I told him I was interested in Library science. He told me his wife, who just died in February, was a librarian. That they lived in Europe for some time and she was head of multiple libraries there. Life can be so grand, huh? 
I suddenly feel like I should pray for him but when we were speaking, I felt close to him...as weird as that might sound. I carried out his merchandise and wished him safe travels. 
The shift went by quickly. It was all good until the other manager got there to stomp on my mood. Why must people be so condescending? A simple tone would do.  
Anyway, I recently took my paperwork for my TB test and Texas Teachers request for observations to La Joya and McAllen schools districts. I need to call on Thursday again...gotta keep moving!
