Welcome to Gretel's Bizarro World

Hearin' the twilight

When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone

Okay, enough of that.

Last night at Target I started out in Infants and Lingerie, but then I switched with Monica and did the fitting room. That wasn't really that bad. I could see how one would be bored with it after a while, but it was a nice change. It's not as stressful as the sales floor. But I don't get to go to the huddles. :'( And on my down time I can doodle on the checklist. Too bad I can't read :(

We got out pretty early last night. I was pretty tired, so I went to bed right away.

I didn't get up too long ago, so nothing new to report there.

I've just been responding to comments. So check those out if you made some :P

Love Gretel

I like how I started my last post with "last day"... Either I meant "yesterday" or "last night" but instead decided to combine them both into a freaky new word combo. Well, I suppose it's not ReAllY freaky, but whatev.

So yesterday I watched some movies until Wilson was done with classes. Then we went downtown to the library. We got a bunch more movies, most of them are anime.

I got another Dean Koontz book. Unfortunately all of the hobos like to hang out in that section which made it all the more scary to go find one.

Other than that I've just been reading The Way of the River, which is about martial arts. It was a present from Robin when I left the library.

I get to work tonight. Hopefully they won't stick me in shoes again. I'd really just like to do pulls or stock shelves. But we'll see.

Love, Gretel

Last day was a fun one at work. I got to go home early since I had worked eight hours. I ended up staying an extra hour anyway cuz Wilson didn't come to pick me up til 11.

I had to do three zones all by myself. It was very frusterating. And I was up cashiering most of the night. Sigh. Oh well. Wilson has sushi for me when he picked me up. And we watched a movie.

I went snowboarding on Friday. The last day was yesterday. But I got snowburned. :( And now it's peeling. :( A few people at Target ask me if I've been snowboarding. Wilson got a pretty distinct boarder's tan so I laugh sometimes.

Love Gretel

Working Working

Hey-o, another update.

Work at Target was pretty fun today. I picked up some really cheap candy.

Some dude asked me to help find some make-up. . . I think he was pretty embarassed, cuz he was talking really quietly.

But Ima go eat some steaks. So this will be a short entry. Not like I have much to report about Target. Which is what I've been doing all day.

And reading Hideway has been creeping me out! Wilson sneaked up and scared the crap out of me right at an inopportune moment. Sigh.

Love Gretel

75%

I get to work again today. Yesterday we got out pretty early. And in May they're gonna start closing the store at ten.

Britney and I went to Sabarros' together for lunch so that was nice. I was in Shoes and Lingerie, so I was done early. So I just helped with abandon for a while and then got sent to Mini Seasonal, i.e. Easter candy to help zone. Other than that it was a really easy night.

Wilson's big paper is due today, so I've been helping him edit it and get it all together.

Other then that it's a beautiful day and I'm ready to spend it outside. Yay!

Love Gretel

My Apologies

Sorry I haven't written in a week. But I've been working. Yay me.

For Easter Wilson and I went to Blackhawk to get some cheap casino food. On the way out of the restaurant though we were asked for I.D. and told that we weren't even allowed to be in there since we were 21. Oops. Oh well. Good food though. Except some guy puked all over himself. Luckily for me I didn't see it.

On Saturday I had to work. We didn't get out of there until two a.m.! We had to fix all the Easter stuff that had gotten messed up throughout the day.

Today I worked with Joan doing some more Easter stuff. All of it went on clearance, so we moved alot of stuff around and condensed so some new things could go in there. We put the new stuff in too. And then did a lot of abandons too. But the time went by pretty quickly.

Wilson and I went to the library. Nothing exciting happened though. Other than PSYCHO BOOK OF DOOOOM! Just kidding. Love Gretel

Workin'

This weekend was pretty much taken up with work. Mom and the girls stopped by on Friday before heading back to the land of ice and snow.

That night we got some crazy freak weather. Thunder, lightning and snow; all at the same time. It was psycho!

Let's see, so Target update...

I worked Lingerie and Infants myself. I was "Marsha." I got done early, so then I got sent around to different places. We got out pretty early.

On Saturday I got sent to Hardlines. I was Marsha agian. I had Automotive, Notions, Home Improvement, Seasonal, and other stuff with Carrie. But I got sent to Lingerie again.

Yesterday I was in Plastics, Pets and Baby all myself. That was okay. Except I got yelled at for not bringing my abandon up soon enough. After close I put most of the abandon away for all the hardline on green side. Oh yeah; and I was "Marilyn" I still don't have a nametag.

So now I'm just waiting around for six so I can go to work again. Yahoo.

Love Gretel

Mountains

Okay, well since my last update I went up to the base of Green mountain, if you can truly call that a base. Or a mountain.

Anyway, once it started getting too cold I headed back to the city.

Tonight was O'Malley's Alley, which is the lip synch contest at CCU. I went to that with Wilson and ran into Lacey. So I chatted with her for a while.

But anyway, I just wanted to check my e-mail quick.

So Night, gotta work tomorrow afternoon til evening.

Love Gretel
