My official hire date for the (insert huge international store name here) in my hometown was March 5. I was hired as a part time employee but at a salary only a little less than I had been making before.
On March 13, I was called into personnel and asked if I would like to go to full time. Hurray! More hours and great benefits. My life is good.
The kicker? On the way out that evening, one of the greeters was talking to me. She wanted to know what department I was working in, etc. I told her and she said, "Oh, you're the young white girl they hired."
That's me. 54 years old and I am the "young white girl". I love my life this week.
Oh, and I am getting used to standing on concrete for long periods of time. Lil man only asked me once this week if he needed to hold the door while I crawled up the stairs...lol.

Update:
I'm not sure how I forgot this but my week started off smiling when Alison gave me this. She always makes me smile, too!
