Thanksgiving Week

Last week there was suppose to be a blog but I didn’t feel well. I’m still not fully recover. I been having a horrible cough. Taking cold medicine does not helping me out. I am afraid that if I take Nyquil it will make me very drowsy. It is a strong medicine for me to take. I do not like being sick.

I am off from San Francisco the entire week for the Thanksgiving Holiday. The first time in a long time that I am off from school for a week. It is probably the first that a university give a week off instead the normal Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving.

What are my plans for the long week off? Of course work at Sam’s Club. Actually I need to prepare for the finals for my classes. Two of my classes I need to get with my groups to figure out what we are going to do for the final. None of us have gotten together to figure out the project. I want to pass all of my classes but the only way to do so is to be on the same page with the other people in my group.

The other thing that I need to be doing is uploading the pictures that I have taken. I been so busy that I have not posted up any new photos. Hopefully I will find some time to upload.

Crazy Shifts

My job owes me a big thank you. I have done a split shift two days straight. I open and I close which I had a four hour break in between. Why did I do it? Reason being is that I am a dedicated hard worker. I have to do it so the store gets business. If I don’t put my hard effort at Sam’s Club then we lose business and a lot of people would be upset. I refuse to get yell at by members. Failing is not in my vocabulary.

My supervisor is going to thank me big time. She is amazed that I put a lot of effort on making sure the store gets business. I’m on top of everything when I am at work. I don’t slack off and I do my work. I work until I get everything finish which includes me being exhausted. Heck whenever my supervisor doesn’t get finish I end up getting it done. It is my duty to make sure whatever needs to be finish even though it isn’t my job.

My supervisor has faith in me. She relies on me to make sure that the two new trainees are doing a good job. That is also the main reason I am doing a split shift. I have to make sure that the new trainees are doing alright. I told them that they can call me for any help. I am willing to take my time off to help out a fellow worker.

I’m going to describe what I do at Sam’s Club. I am a photo specialist. I basically just make prints. I’m skilled in cameras and camcorders. I know my basics on cameras. I sell cameras and make prints. From 4X6 prints to poster size up to 20X30 I can make. My number one priority is to make sure members leave Sam’s Club happy. I take my time to make sure members are doing alright and answering any questions that have.

I feel like I am my own person when I work in photo. It is like that I get no kind of help what so ever. One of my co-workers does her own thing. I feel like she is not educated in working there. She’s always chit chatting with people and not getting her work done. I have to pick up the slack on what she does not get finish. There have been complaints about her which nothing is getting done about it. I shouldn’t be suffering. I want team work instead of a one person job.

Let hope that I get a big recognition on my hard work. Sam’s Club should be thankful that I am a big help.
