What would your bestfriend have to say about you?

Me and my bestfriend Gloria

Image

 have been friends for over 12 years. This gurl is so funny and so real its a trip. She knows me like the back of her hand. But one day she was looking through my purse because she wanted to see my calender, and was shocked at what she found.

 
Well, when she opened it up, she was surprised to see all of her check days written down in my book from January to December. Yep, I sure did. I had her and my sister’s check days marked and checked off for the whole year. Even though we laughed and laughed about it, I think she look at me as “crazy”.  Because she cannot stop talking about it.
 
She always wondered how I always remebered her check days to borrow money before she could ask me. ( heheheheheh). Well, today my question for you yahoo 360 is
 
If I were to talk to your bestfriend about something yall did, or you did that always comes up, what  story would he/she tell?

Lacrease and the Customers 1

Hey!!!
 
Ok, I\’m going to get right to this one. Yall know I am a cashier for Walmart right? And before I leave my house, or while I\’m driving I have to ask the Lord to please let me have a good day. I\’m not a person who have an attitude off rip, that\’s just  not who I am. People can sometimes tell what kinda mood Im in, but I do good at smiling everyday.
 
 This pass Saturday evening this blk guy about 41, walks up to my register. I ring him up and his order comes up to $4.68. He hands me a $5.00 bill and .68 in Canadian money. Now everybody and their 4 year old knows that  (we and/not too many stores in the US take Canadian money. So I looked at him and said \”sir we don\’t take Canadian coins\”. He gon say WHY? Where the sign at that says yall don\’t?? So I looked at him, and said \”aint no sign, we just don\’t take Canadian money. So I said\” out of 5 and finished off the transaction ( I probaly was wrong for completing the transaction knowing he was trying to start something with me). He looked at me and said well I want my money back? I said why? He says because I want to know where is the sign that says no Canadian money. This thang clearly wanted to argue with me. So I said well in order to get your money back I will have to call a CSM. He was like call em then. So Demetria comes over and say Lacrease what\’s the problem. I tell her to give him a refund, cause we don\’t take canadian coins, and he feels we should, so since we dont he wants a refund. Demetria tried to talk to him but he gon say. I don\’t want to speak to YOU, I WANT TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE HIGHER!!!! So she page for Asst Manager Mike. He comes over and let me tell yall what that thang told my boss.
 
He gon say. My order came up to $4.68 and I gave her $5.68 the change was in Canadian money. Mike said ok what\’s the problem? The man said the way she said it was not professional. I\’m standing there looking at this dummy like what other way it is to say \”we don\’t take Canadian money????????????????? Then he tells my boss I use to work for Walmart. And we looked at him like………….then you should know we don\’t take canadian money!!! He said that he felt that I wasn\’t professional about telling him we don\’t take canadian coins.
 
My thang is this. Why when people tell you NO, you cant do this, or NO we don\’t take that, do people get offended?  They take it personal as if this rule was just made for them on the spot . He made it seem like I had it out for him because of some old elementary lunch money he took from me back in the day. Then when it was time for him to sign the refund slip, he gon say. I AINT SIGNING NOTHING? I said you have to sign it. So he gonna reach for his money that was in my hand. I was like you gotta sign this slip first. Then he started whining again, so my boss signed it.
 
But check this out. When I handed him his money……………he wanted to snatch it from me sooooo badddddddddddddddd. OOOOOOO I can feel it (lol) But he knew that if he did, everything he told my boss about me would be null and void, and he would walk away looking like the fool. lolllllll So politely he took the money and left. ( I WAS CRACKING UP IN MY MIND)
 
So my question for you~ Do you feel that YOU are always right concerning anyyyyyyyyyyyyy matter you have at a department store, grocery store, restaurant or any public place? Please share, because I want to hear from you.

Question

I have a question? Is it really posible to have a crush (es) on people on your yahoo page? I mean what if you live in different cities? Can you find real love just by reading their blogs daily and getting to know their personlities through their writtings? Has this ever happened to anyone?

What do you think?

Tired of the question……..When

 I remember like yesterday the years of being in my 20\’s. When this photo was taken I had just gotten over \”the love \” of my life…….my daughter\’s dad. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do……… but I did it. I had several boyfriends after that. One killed himself, one in jail for killing, burning and tossing his gurlfriends body into the trunk of her own car ( he broke up with me to be with her),another got married.
 
I look back at my life and ask God did you save me from all of this? I know I loved these men, but I noticed that everything that happened to them was after me. Sometimes you asked God \”when\” and \”why\” and if he would talk face to face to me, his story of protecting me would match up with the ending of why I didn\’t make it with any one of these men. He had other plans for them, as well as he did for me.
 
So my question to you 360 Family? Are you single? And if so do you get tired, and frustrated by people asking you when are you getting married? Asking why you don\’t have a boyfriend/gurlfriend? How do you respond to them. Please help me.

Sooner than we think

I was looking out of the window watching the trees. It amazes me how beautiful  tall and “handsome” they are. I adore trees. If I stare at them too hard, I promise you I will break out and cry. I dont know why I let my mind go so deep sometimes.

The reason why I would cry is because, they know when the weather is turning. Here we are  walking around talking, drinking, partying, working, eating, sexing, doing what ever we want to do, and still they know what time it is. The dont talk, they dont go places, they just stand there and be beautiful. They have many visitors ( birds, bees, flies, squarrels,  bugs etc, but they still stand tall. They know what they are.

I love when the leaves  turn colors. Its like saying they are on their way to “bed” for the winter. And you know whats so funny? They know when to wake up.

When I say God is the bomb, you better hear me! Those trees know who our maker is, and they dont talk. But us…………………….. we still doing what we want to do.

The end is near yall, get some where on your knees, and ask the Lord, what am I suppose to be doing? What is my assignment Lord?

29He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree

and all the trees. 30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.  Luke 21 (New International Version)

It\’s not about you…….all the time!

Its  not about you!

 

      There was a time in my life, when I thought it was all about me……Lacrease. The bad and good things.  I felt that everything was personal. It took me a long time to see, and I slip sometimes and make it about me, but Im quickly reminded that is not. If we learn to take me out of the situation, we will begin to see things in a different light.

 

Im going to be honest about myself. Sometimes I feel good about it but most times I don\’t. Its how Im able to express myself. In those times I can hear God telling me to \”be quiet\”. In those quiet times I can see things so differently. I learn about myself. I learn about others. I can relate.

 

 

Its not about you if: You made dinner for family and friends and someone says \”I dont like this\”. Its ok. Its not about you ( your cooking) its that their taste buds don\’t agree with your selection. Its ok, dont make it a personal issue, ITS NOT ABOUT YOU BOO.

 

It\’s not about you if: You and your sister plan to go to dinner to be together and catch up. But before you leave out the door to pick her up, some one upsets you. its not about you to be so upset that you call your sister and cancel the date. Its so not about you because someone else is involved……..your sister. Have you thought, just by going, it will most likely cheer you up?

 

It\’s not about you……..ALL THE TIME

 

People in Authority

Hey Yahoo!
 
I know its been a while, guess I have been busy and not blogging the way I know how. I enjoy stopping by and reading blogs, I really learn a lot from yall for real! I love to read, so Im telling you, I can sit for hours on this computer like I aint got nothing else to do in the world. lolll Its all good tho.
 
Well tonight I need to vent, cause I swear Im bout to exploded. For one, I cant stand people and will not hesitate to confront those who like to throw their authority around over someone. The story Im about to tell is so why the bible talks tells us that God is the one who cares and takes care of us. If you leave it up to man they will disappoint you everytime.Psalm 146 (New International Version) 3 Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. 4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
 
A few weeks ago, my coworker came up to me and was telling me that the night before, when it came time to punch out @ 10:30 that the manger of the store stood at the front door and made people go back to the time clock and punch back in because the store wasn\’t clean. Now no member of management is suppose to say a word to you after you are  punched off the clock. If you are on lunch and you have clocked out ( one hour is our lunch time) they are suppose to wait until you punch back in to ask you anything. Its funny how when you are on lunch and you see a manager and need to ask a quick question how fast they will brush you off and say, \”I cant talk to you right now you\’re on lunch\”. But as soon as it benefits them its okay. Well I don\’t play that mess! Don\’t even look at me when I\’m on lunch, dont mention anything to me work related at all.
 
 Well, some people were so afraid of losing their jobs that they went back and punched back in. I was sooooooooooooo upset when I heard that. Our store manger knows doggond well that if you are scheduled to work until 10:30 and you punch out at 10:30 that its time for you to go home. I don\’t care of the store was cleaned or not. That\’s the Assistant managers job to make sure that the store was cleaned before it was time for those employees to leave. They have a list of folks name who is suppose to leave. We are cashiers. When the store is closed at 10:00 and all the guest are gone by 10:15 I don\’t mind  and will do anything they ask inside those 15 minutes. I\’m not going to ring up and handle all the money in the store of 7hrs and 45 minutes, then go to a department and make sure its in tip top  condition before I leave. YEAHHHHHHH WHATEVA! That\’s not my job. I do what I can inside of what\’s left.
 
Do yall know people had their rides outside waiting for them, some had to catch the bus home, some had to pick up their kids from the babysitter. It was so sad how much power the manager had over these women, who came to work done their jobs and couldn\’t leave the store, because they had to punch back in and work over their schedule time. If I sit here and think about it to hard, I will cry. Because that is wrong. She knows that is wrong but she is only going to do it because she needs the store cleaned, and she knows how much power she has over their jobs. She knows they don\’t want any trouble. One gurl cried, and still she had to punch back in and work until Debbie \”call it\”. Means call it quits for the night.
 
See but you know what? It could neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  be me . Every night I close, I hope and I wish one of them would say that to me. See let me say this. Debbie knows that if she goes and stand by the time clock and tell folks they cant punch out,  she would be on camera, because its a camera right there. If she really wanted them to stay, she would block the time clock, but she\’s smart. so she stands by the  front door AND TALK TO THEM WHILE THEY ARE OFF THE CLOCK, THAT IS A Violation AGAINST WALMART AND ITS EMPLOYEES! And she knows it. So the people that know its wrong without a doubt were looking at her like she was crazy, walked right passed her and out the door. (hehe)
 
I\’m not even going to lie, if she everrrrrrrrr in her lifeeeeeeee (the Christmas Season is coming too) tells me after or before its time for me to leave, that I have to punch back in, I\’m going to set it off! Not in a bad way, but Im going to make sure that I say what I have to in front of everybody, in a nice, aggressive voice, and a facial expression that\’s going to take her back to her mom getting on her about something in her teen years. And that\’s on everythang!
 
Years ago, I signed a paper saying my availability is from 6 am to 10:30pm. They can use me inside those hours anything after those hours IS ON MY TIME! By the time clock we have a schedule that\’s written 3 weeks in advance and it says under my name when I can start and how long I can stay. They paper that\’s SIGNED by a manager 2 years, will stand up in any court of Law!
 
I would say Debbie…………….first of all. You have no business  saying anything to me work related ( when she tells me to punch back in). . That\’s Walmart\’s policy and you know it!
 
 # 2. I signed a paper stating that my availability is until 10:30 pm. I gave you 9 hours today( im full time) and so anytime after that, you are ASKING ME TO STAY , not telling me.
 
#3 Then the final thing, I\’m going to tell her that I\’m going to call the 1800WALMART# and ask them why do the managers still talk to the employees at OUR store after they have punched out, BUT not at other stores. ( put her out there)
 
Our manager doesn\’t have any kids, or boyfriend. So she don\’t know or have a clue as too what its like for your child to be sick, or you have to take a leave of absent because you have to take care of your mother or father. She feels that even though she cant say with her own mouth and words that everyone should be like her, she treats people the way she lives her life. The compassion is so not there. I just don\’t know what to say. except, I\’m waiting on a night for her to tell me to punch back in.
 
This is one of the reasons why you can\’t treasure your job, because its everyday people like my manager, that will make sure they can make you or break you. See I don\’t have to look at my past with walmart and hold anything back that night she ask me to punch back in. NONE OF THEM HAVE ANYTHING over my head. When people got something over you, please believe that you are under their spell. They cant threatened me with my job, because I know I\’m there for a season. I know when God says its time to go, its time to go. But I will make sure its not on my part.
 
 If you don\’t know anything else, know that God is in charge, yeahhhhhhhh even at your $45.000 job. @ your $20,000 job, @ your $75,000 a year job. Know that when God says its time to leave, its time to leave. Stick with the truth, and die for it. Do what\’s right in the first place, and no one will have anything over your head.
