I Work At Gordmans And It Is Fun :))))))))))

I just started working at Gordmans about a month ago now and thus far it has been quite the fun experience. I love the atmosphere in the area and the associates there are great. Even though i haven't been working for very long I've learned a whole lot and I feel like im becoming a better worker each day. My managers are very fun people to work with. One manager, Rachel, is so hilarious. There is never a dull moment when she is working. She gets bored really easily so she will say a bunch of funny things over the walkie. Don't get me wrong we do a lot of work, lately the place has been quite busy and there has been a lot of work and it is basically keeping up with the customer. It is just very nice to be in a fun working enviornment.
Getting back to how much work we do, I have helped unload a semi-truck with huge stacks of new items that are shipped to our store. The boxes were just stacked, almost to the top of the trailer. I used a pallet jack to lift them up, then I moved them out of the truck and into our storage hall. Most Gordmans stores have a lot bigger stock rooms but as of what i hear ours is the skinniest. The stock room is very tightly sqeezed and it is lengthened out. Thats why i call it the storage hall. ;)

I like Performing

I love being a performer. I am in show choir and through that I've found that performing for an audience is a really good feeling. Last weekend on Saturday night I got the opportunity to perform in Fab Five. Fab Five is an event where five 4a schools in Cedar Rapids come together with their show choirs and perform not to compete but just to simply entertain. It has been a long tradition and is very fun. Also, two groups or soloist performers that audition for each of the show choirs get to perform on stage whatever they can put together. I was one chosen from our choir, Happiness INC. I performed "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton. Most people are nervous when they know they are the center of attention in front of a big audience and they are singing or performing in some way. I have always loved it. I am really comfortable on stage and even if i was nervous almost my whole choir was in the crowd cheering for me. I had every reason to be pumped. There is something about being in front of a crowd that just attracts me to where I know that i have to put on the best show that I possibly can.

I Like Having Off Hours At School

I have 3rd hour release for school because only seniors can have a release at our school. Three of my buddies have it off as well and we go out to eat a lot. I eat a lot of fast food with my buds. We go out to eat at a lot of fast food places because there are so many restaurants around the area of our school. We go to KFC, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Donutland, Arby's, Starbucks, Sonic, Subway, McDonalds, Metro Buffet, Burger King, and many others. I am makin' many fat times. Doing all of this running around and buying fast food can get really expensive at times so my buddies and I have our parents buy us a bunch of canned food and we bring it over to my house. We barge in and hog the microwave from my dad. Ryan, Bryan, and Kyle bring over cans by the bag and when we are not eating them i put them in my room. We eat a bunch of different soups and different brands of Spaghettios. Ryan brings over Chunky and Progresso soup while kyle brings cans of Spaghettios, ABC 123's, and Spaghetti rings (a knock off brand of Spaghettios). When we are not eating though we get a few games of basketball going and/or 21. In conclusion having 3rd hour off altogether with my friends can be really fun and is a good break from school. I look forward everyday to having this time just to sit and relax and to enjoy not taking notes or doing fuckin' homework.
