I am working part-time seasonally at JoAnn Fabric this year. I am excited for it, but nervous too :-P I am just starting tonight and probably the busiest weekend is next weekend! :-o Plus figuring out scheduling and coordinating all the different Christmas activities... a little nerve-wracking to hope I don't miss asking for something off...
I am glad I decided to apply to JoAnn's - it makes me think of my mom. We went to JoAnn's quite a bit - Black Friday deals, fabric for sewing, I even have a few totes from JoAnn's that I took from my mom's house. She would probably love me working there! Speaking of my mom - the two year anniversary of her death came and went this week with the only acknowledgement of it was me commenting on my sisters facebook status....This makes me sad, but I also am not sure what I should do to honor her memory on that day. I obviously think of her throughout the year and definitely try to honor her with certain activities, still eating Black Eyed Peas on New Year's Day for example :-P (She was adamant that we had to eat at least one black eyed pea on New Year's Day... a southern tradition about prosperity or something? I don't know - but it was/is a tradition, which Tim humors me and eats ONE black eyed pea :-P At least until this past year, it didn't happen in 2014-- they were bought, but just didn't get fixed :-/ We'll make sure to do it in 2015 though.) I'll have to think about what I could do on November 18th to honor her memory. Maybe do a Random Act of Kindness on that day.... maybe related to crafting/sewing? I'm not sure, I'll have to think about this and what I could do.
Back to my original thought of today being my first day working at JoAnn's -- I have to chuckle at myself because I am wearing the exact same "uniform" as my first job 14 years ago :-P (Obviously not the same clothes, but the same thing - if that makes sense.) My first job was at Kessel's and was black pants and a white polo shirt... I have to wear a white collared shirt at JoAnn's and I bought a white polo (since it was cheaper :-P) and either khaki's, navy blue or black pants, or nice jeans... I will probably wear jeans quite a bit but I figured for my first day I would wear black pants. After I made the decision of black pants and the white polo - I had a flashback to my Kessel days and chuckled. I wonder if I still have any pics from my Kessel's days, I'm sure I do somewhere - maybe I will have to dig those up (or maybe my friend Tara still has some around somewhere :-P) I was going to have Andrew take a picture, but my little photographers (both Andrew and David tried) were not getting flattering angles :-P
