Recommendations/Advice

1. Everyone should read the Twilight series JUST so they can read the parody written by the Harvard Lampoon, "Nightlight". It's absolutely hysterical! I was in my doctors office the other day reading it and I started laughing out loud...it was the lady doctor so it was probably really weird for someone walking by the room I was in if they could hear me giggling.

2. If you work at Wal-Mart, try not to get the later shifts. It gets quiet for long periods of time and there's NOTHING to do but walk around your station trying to organize the gum. Then, once you're off and you have your own grocery shopping to do, there's HUGE lines so it takes 3 hours to get home once you clock out.

3. "Book of Eli" is one of the best movies I've seen in 2010. Watch it.

4. Go to Target for the CUTEST picture frames in the world. I always walk down that aisle just to look at what they're coming up with...someday soon I want to get this silver/green one that you can put 5 pictures in. It's like 30 dollars though :(

5. Before you take a nap in the middle of the day (I have to in order to function at work), clean your room before falling asleep. I'm sitting here now with a messy room wondering why I didn't clean it earlier but I'm now too tired to do anything about it.

6. This isn't a recommendation, but I've been watching the Bachelorette and I really want Roberto to win. He's so handsome and nice!

7. When you shop at Wal-Mart, don't be THAT customer that puts every single heavy item on the belt. As a cashier, I can say I LOVE it when customers leave the heavy stuff in the cart. I will gladly walk around the register to scan the items. I would rather walk 2 feet than pinch a nerve in my neck lifting thousands of 24 packs of coke in 8 hours. THANKS.

8. Also, if you're going to be picky about how you want your items bagged, do a better freaking job at organizing them on the belt. Ex. if you want your cans all together, put them on the belt at the same time. Don't put 2 cans here, then some cheese and milk, then another can, then your tampons, then 10 cans of beans, then some eggs....it's really annoying.

9. Wal-Mart advice cont'd., don't get pissy with your cashier if YOUR card doesn't work because its all scratched up.

10. Don't roll your eyes at the cashier if the line is taking forever to move. If the cashier is slow, it's because the customer is being picky. Ex. you scan all 100 items that they wanted to check out and they want to know the price of every thing they bought so the cashier prints out a slip, gives the customer the slip, and then they decide they don't want the first 5 things that you scanned...which is now at the bottom of the bag in the bag you bagged first, at the bottom of their cart. See where I'm going with this?

11. So You Think You Can Dance is really good this year. FOX every Wed/Thurs. night at 8. Check it out!

12. Read my blog regularly...I'm interesting.

13. DON'T ASSUME THAT I SPEAK SPANISH JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TAN SKIN. I had, literally, 20 people since I started working (2 1/2 weeks) start talking to me in spanish in a frantic tone, NOT EVEN ASKING if I spoke that language!!!!! One lady, after I explained that I didn't speak spanish, rolled her eyes and made a "pfff" sound. Seriously?




i'm tired. night!
