I got a position at a Penny's near-by being a greeter for the Holiday season. Yesterday was my first day on the job. Yes, it was basically a Glorified Wally World greeter being pain minimum wage.

I started at 1:00 and my first break was at 4:00. I stood in a 10 foot area greeting customers as they came through the center of the store. Saying hello, giving directions to the bathrooms or to the main mall, and helping people find items in the store when they needed it. Come 4:00 I had a hard time walking to the time clock without falling down. I knew my legs would collapes before I hit my car so I sat in the lounge for 5 mins before venturing out to my car to find something to eat. I was suppose to stay till 10.

I called David and he could tell by my voice it was bad. He proceeded to tell me to come home. I said I would see how I felt after my break and I called my mom to check on dad who is still not well and she also could tell I was not doing well.

After sitting for 35 minutes in my car I got out to go back in to finish my shift for I like to finish what I start but I couldn't even make it across the parking lot when my right leg went out from under me. After catching myself I turned around and went back to my car called the manager and said "I am sorry but this job is not for me but thank you."

I made it home by 6:30 after 25 minutes of sitting in my car crying out of self pitty. I was in bed by 7:30 but really didn't get much sleep.

I am so upset with myself for giving up but I knew there was no way I was going to be able to stand basically in one small area for 8 hour for the next 6 days. 3 hours pretty much did me in...... (those are for you AMN )

thank you for letting me vent.
