Highlights of what happened yesterday while volunteering at a warehouse charity event:
- I worked as a bagger (putting purchased items in bags for customers) with this cashier. This cashier was not very friendly and constantly left the cash without letting us (I worked with my cousin) know.
- We walked away, asked this lady if she needed any help, we’d be glad to help her. We were told that ‘no, it just gets complicated that way‘. Not offended at all.
- So, we decided to be helpful and box things up. We asked these two ladies if they needed help because it looked like they did. They were like ‘uh…’ and got cut off when this OTHER lady accused us of trying to take their box. ‘NO, we need that box! You can find your own at the back!’ Excuse me?
90% of these people were probably company’s employees. I got insanely mad. Plus the fact that they didn’t supply us with ANY food/water for the 5 hours we worked like they said they would in the e-mail.
I’m just saying, this was probably the worst volunteer experience ever. When I volunteered at the Breast Cancer Run last year with friends, we got yelled at because we were ‘late’ to our post. HELLO, ITS FRIGGING POURING RAIN OUTSIDE, we were standing out there for the past few hours and we just went for a washroom break.
My point? Don’t treat your volunteers like they need you. Just because we’re high school students, earning our hours to graduate, does not mean that we do it just for the hell out of it. I personally finished my hours a long time ago, I only continue doing it to actually help out. I mean, I wouldn’t have skipped work if I knew we were gunna be treated like this.
Just putting it out there.
Was I ever glad to get out of that mess.
New haircut :)
My grandma dropped my sister and I at Pacific Mall so we can get out and not rot at home haha (yeah,you’ll notice that I go there often :) ) . #1 goal? Get a clear case for my phone.
You can see the design through it now :D I think I have commitment issues with my electronics. I mean, I’m constantly changing the design.. the case.. everything.. ahaha. I just like to customize things :(
Work tomorrow and Saturday. YAY PAYCHECK TOMORROW. Volunteering at some warehouse place on Sunday with cousin. Sister’s leaving for a cottage trip and I can’t go because I have work that week. Woohoo…
Okay seriously… I need to buy that ‘fast dry’ drops from a nearby drugmart… everytime I paint my nails, I always ruin them within 2 minutes because they won’t dry fast enoughh gahhh.
Watching an episode of Pretty Little Liars. Its a pretty scary show to me.. so much mystery and all haha. Intense…
I’ve been spending lots and lots of time cleaning up my room after my sister and mom painted my room (I had work all weekend so I couldn’t help). I swear, although I attempted to make it shiny clean, it still looks pretty messy…
So I did choose 2 shades of pink. A light baby pink and a coral-y pink. TA-DA!
Oh my… the batteries in my keyboard finally died. It has been giving me ‘warnings’ for the past few months. I hate wireless keyboards because they require batteries.
I’m always changing my desktop background and window colours. Oh, and also my firefox’s persona haha.
Currently..
and a BIG BANG persona :) yayyyy
Where do you guys get your desktop backgrounds?
