Things I have learned from having a Job

1. Choose to have a job closer to home so that you don't have to stay at someone's house for the week, and so you can save money rather that spending it on gas.

2. When filling out an application don't forget to sign down at the bottom where it says it certifies all information is correct or you feel stupid later.

3.When filling out the application make sure you mark which shift you want and don't mark any shifts you don't want, or you otherwise get that shift and have a problem when your friends have the other shift and you need to carpool with them.

4. When answering the job acceptance call be fully awake or at least have a pen and pencil at your side so you don't forget later.

5. When showing up to do further paperwork bring at least 2 ID verifications or be stuck going back later the next day.

6. When filling out paperwork know how to fill out a W2

7. Don't be at the wrong building the first day of the job or be lost and late for work what an impression that makes

8. Don't switch  from night shift to morning shift on your employers or all chaos will break loose: [A] Won't receive punch card because your supposed to be in the other pile of cards.Which will cause you not to check in the first day which will later come out as they won't pay you the first day because they didn't look on the list you did sign in on the first day.[B] They can't find your paycheck for 2 days because it's somewhere else.

9. On the first training day don't expect to only work a couple of hours because their going to run you through like a normal day would be like.

10. On the third day don't forget your punch card because you loose five bucks and loose your pride of responsibility

11. Don't expect to go out to eat for lunch because there is no time.

12. Don't expect to be able to use your ipod or read your book because they want you to feel totally bored out of your mind.

13. Don't expect to want to eat cherries after you seen what you didn't mean to let pass such as pits and stems and who knows what else.Or the fact of what you pull out like little bugs and a grasshopper. Plus the fact that 5 pounds of sugar that goes into 4 gallon buckets.

And you thought you had a mess to clean up

One day Mom, Dad and I (Danielle) were sitting in the computer room looking at something, then we suddenly all heard CRASH BOOM SHATTER RATTLE BREAK BASH CRASH! Everyone is like what is going on?!?!? Please view the video below for explanation (note turn your head to the right, oops) :

And you thought you had a mess to clean up. The following of what you saw is are storage room or what we call are "backroom". The shelves were as old as the house so after awhile they don't hold together. What really happened is the nails gave way and the shelves just bent foward with all the weight it had to hold and everything came crashing down. YAY us! WE get to clean.

The funny this was though my mom was already doing deep cleaning in the other storage room and now had to both. Just a note too I cleaned most of it! But the remarkable thing that happened is that the molasses didn't break or the huge jar of honey which were on the top shelf and thank goodness they didn't or it' really would have been a BIG mess. Unfortunately not all the glass things held together. The tumble broke a pottery pan and some glass cups.

After about a week or two about igonoring the whole thing and the backroom needing a paint job mom gets to work and paints the backroom and built shelves.
