Life is pretty much school, school, school, work, work, work, and try not to be sick right now. I have less than a year before I am finally done with college. Work is really great though. My health might not be the best right now, and I'm on multitudes of medications... yet I am still able to keep up my full-time work schedule. I haven't had to call off or go into work sick. *knock on wood* This upcoming April marks my second year work with Best Buy, and I just had my annual review. I pretty much do everything above and beyond my job, and know I'll be getting another raise beyond the slight increase you typically get. My manager sat down and talked to me, and wanted to discusses further development options for my future career. Right now out of all the Best Buy stores, the store I work at and my department is in the top ten. That's the top ten of all the Best Buy stores. We currently rank at fourth. That's pretty darn amazing. While we were doing my review, he talked about how the other store managers had to contact him to find out what we do differently to perform so well. He continuously talked about me and talked me up to them. He ranted and raved so much, that the other stores were asking him to send me to their stores to help train staff. Like whaaaaaat, seriously? He then went on to say that he could easily see me being a supervisor or manager. Not in the future. Not down the road. Right now. I could go into another store and easily do the job. I have been pretty sick lately... taking two different kinds of immunosuppressants really wrecks your system. This week has been pretty good though! Finding out how highly we rank in the company out of all the stores, having my annual review and getting such high praise (I scored a 4 out of 5, 4 is considered the high mark because 5 is like just flawless perfection and most people get a 3 if that). You get a 2 just for doing your basic job duties. Today was the best day though. Tomorrow is payday and because of the performance... we got a huge bonus. Typically I might see an extra $50-100 on a check if we bonus. I am not going to post the exact bonus amount, but I'm safely able to pay off all my monthly bills, buy my cosplay materials, and put aside money for vacation. Such is life. It might not be the best at the moment, but there are some pretty good things going.

While I was waiting to check out in line at Walmart today, there was this elderly woman behind me in one of the store's electronic scooters. My buggy (If you don't know that I mean by buggy, that's what most people in my state call a "cart") was already unloaded and on the checkout belt. The person ahead of me was still waiting to pay, and there was plenty of space on the belt since I only had like seven bags of stuff. I offered to load her stuff up onto the checkout area for her, and it pretty much made her day. Even though I work in retail myself and usually help people on a daily basis that way, this was different and it felt good. Now I just wish my stomach didn't feel so crummy, because I'm about ready to punch it... In other news, I did finish my course of steroids I was on... but pretty sure coming off them is causing the trouble. Gonna have to give it some time to clear out of my system. I'm so tired, sore all over, and emotionally void.
