This has been an interesting couple of weeks.
Finding out certain pieces of information at Supervisor Training and then talking to the GM, ramifications of said talks with all the supervisors has not yet rolled down. It shall be interesting.
On the outs with the family right now, apparently I don't call often enough, which is true - but my life is boring and I have no news for them. Am I supposed to just psychically know when things happen up there and call to hear what they are?
And we had a customer die (technically) in ths tore today. My bookstore. This was a first for me. Luckily there were a couple of nurses (who had just ran into each other in the store after not having seen each other since classes tow YEARS ago) in the store who performed CPR and brought him back just as the EMT's arrived. Unfortunatley he died at the hospital. He was 81. My manager was al ittle shook up and called me cold due to my lack or reaction to said incident. I am not CPR trained, I called 911, I kept customers away, I did not panic, I asked the correct questions of the EMTs and nurses and took care of the Incident report, and was not crushed to find out he did not make it. For one thing - my dad is an EMT, I used to be CPR and lifeguard trained, I have performed this on people before (just not in YEEEEEAARSSS), so I have come to terms with death and my own mortality over five years ago. It was his time, peopel helped him, and he didn't die alone - his wife was with him at the end - she thanked the nurses for their help.
And since I have now been tagged by three separate people I give you ( the 20 random things meme )
Consider me whining about geting off my ass and doing something with icons here, mmkay?
