WORK!!!!

So the liquidation process is going fairly well. They decided to take me off the sales floor and put me as a fixture selling associate. Well its going well all but the fixtures are not going anywhere. The liquidator "Steve" well he kinda sets the prices of the fixtures, well no one is buying them because they are too high priced. But yet he tells me and the other guy I am working with "Brian" that we really need to get on our game and start selling the fixtures. But he wont let us knock the prices down. I mean yeah he does say "work a deal with them" well honestly I really dont think that the deal I work with them is probably the deal he would like, but I look at it as if they are going to buy it for my deal its less for us to have to worry about. I mean I don't GIVE it to them but I think that they are getting a pretty good deal.
Our fixture area is a complete disaster but we have no room for the fixtures and I get in trouble because I am standing around talking, (what can I say I am a social butterfly) and Steve says "If you have nothing to do then you could go and make the fixture area shoppable!" Well the only problem is WE HAVE NO ROOM!!!!!! They just keep bringing these huge fixtures back to us and we have to cram them into a spot it will fit well then you can't get around to see the other fixtures. UGH!!!! What did I get myself into? I really enjoy it but at the same time, Steve comes off as a jerk. He seems like he expects you to know everything and then when I tell him I am sorry for bothering him, he says "your not a bother." Unfortunatly he makes me feel that way, or the fact that he words things so it sounds like you are stupid or something. I dont know. I guess you could say I am a little intimidated. I am frusterated too!!!! Oh well that is life, he is going to walk away from this with a job and us without one.

Teaching Averi early!!

So Kyle and I had picked Averi up from my mom's house as she was watching her while we went to my work party. So we had gotten home and we were playing with Averi for a bit before we decided to give her a bath. I had decided that I was going to wait and change her diaper until the bath water was ready so that I wouldn't waist a diaper. Well Kyle had went and started the bath, and I got Averi all ready and she knows when its bath time because she crawls to the bath room. Its the cutest thing to see a little bare bum hurrying to the bath room. Well Kyle had put her in the tub and was playing with her for while then I reminded him that he needed to call his mom to see if she could watch her for a little bit tomorrow. Well he was talking on the phone and playing with Averi and having a great time. Well he had gotten off the phone and, I was in the kitchen and i hear Kyle say " Averi, you are such a little turd" and I had said " why" then he told me that she had pooped in the tub. I just chuckled because it isn't the first time she has done that. So I go in the bathroom and Kyle has her sitting on the toilet and sure enought there was a little turd in the tub!!! She seems to know when to poop because its always in the tub!!! Gosh darnit!!!! So then Kyle is holding Averi and he is thinking really hard. He decides that he is going to finish her bath in the morning because it was late and he needed to clean the tub before putting her back in the tub!!!! She seems to think that it is funny when she poops during bath time!! In a way it is but you really can't help but laugh!!! She is going to hate these pictures when she gets older!!!! I love my little girl tho!!!!

Averi's first owie!!!!

Both Kyle and I had to work on Tuesday and so Averi spent the day with grandma Crawley. We also had softball practice and so we were going to leave Averi there, but before we went to practice, we went to play with her. We got there and Carla had said that she was climbing up the cabinet and it was by a heater that is on wheels. Well she slipped up the cabinet and fell and her foot had knocked over the the heater on to her arm, and burned her. Oh I feel so bad for my baby girl!!! It makes me want to cry. I just know how burns feel and they dont feel very good. But it makes me sad. Luckily she seems to not even notice it so that is good, and it doesnt seem to bother her at all. I think that it hurts me more then it does her. Oh well can't do anything now!!!!

It is finally here!

So as I said in my last blog, Gottschalks is going out of business! SO SAD!!! But today was the big liquidation sale. And I decided that people are rude when it comes to places going out or whatever. I mean they dont even give you at least one second to help them if you are helping another customer. I know most are curious but COME ON PEOPLE!!! Give me a break. I was helping a lady figure out prices on some things and clearly I was looking at her and talking to her, when 3 different customers came and interupeted me and said "How much is this?", "How long will you be open?", "When are you going to have better sales?" I mean hell people your guess is as good as mine with how much longer we are going to be open. But seriously I was helping this lady and get interupted by other people. Come on people have some common curtiousy, its not all about you!!!! I know it is only going to get worse. I am dreading the upcoming days especially when it comes to the weekends. UGH!!!! I work every one!!! I mean when people read the signs that are on the corners and stuff all they see is 60% off, they dont really see it. Then they bring all their stuff to the counter and after it is all rung and I tell them their total they say "Well your signs on the corners say 60% off!" Which they really say UP TO 60% off. So then they get mad and say well I dont want this then if its not that price. UGH I hate retail sometimes!!!!! I am a people person but when it is crazy like this I can't stand them. I know that is mean to say but it is soooooo true, and if it wasnt my job I would stay away!!! But yeah anyway, I am just going to have to get thru this!!! I always say to myself BUCK UP KAYLA!!!!! That is what I am going to have to do!!!!
