Thursday, April 26, 2018, I became a DNA analyst.

Promotion

Today, November 7, 2017, my first day back from work after Britney, my supervisor calls me over to tell me that I am going to start my analyst training this month!!!! 1 year, 6 months and 18 days after being hired I get the news I've been waiting for and I couldn't be happier!!!!!

My one year anniversary at work is coming up on the 11th...aka pay raise and I get to drop "trainee" off my title

I did a thing

I'd like to take a moment and brag on myself: I saved my company $200,000 because I closed a freezer door that someone had left open three hours prior to me walking into the room.

Reagents are expensive.

Today after work we had a "second shift get together" because first shift does things like that all the time and sends emails about it frequently and of course we can't go. Anyways, I'm at the get together and I talk to a girl that I see all the time, but have never spoken to and she told me that I am "hair goals". I'm going to let that sink in for a minute. I am someone's hair goal. That's so exciting and humbling at the same time. It makes me happy that my army of products work well together and others can see it and not just me.

I am actually dreading going into work tomorrow. I feel like everything with this problematic batch is my fault (in reality I know it's not but still...) and I am an incompetent moron.

I love my job.

I legitimately had two samples today: one at 9:30 and the second at 3...I got paid $100 (pretax) to sit  at my desk and do some scanning (which allows us to keep our ISO 9000 certification, so it actually is important), texting and reading on buzzfeed.

uh no

I just had a pack and a half a day smoker tell me my ONE red bull was bad for me...this is the same person who told me at 20 years old I should not use tampons...

I had a customer today tell me that I needed to stop studying as much as I do and get a boyfriend because I "need" love in my life. I'm sorry that I think studying is more important than having a boyfriend. This coming from the same regular that told me when I first got to school not to get distracted by boys...

Work today

I do not enjoy going to work and having three (yes THREE) men over than 50 hit on me. You do not need to "arrest me" and you do not need to "wait 'til I'm ready to get married" and you do not need to call me "sexy" every time you get your meds sir. If I weren't at work I could walk away or ignore you, but I'm at work attempting to make a living and I do not appreciate being hit on. I actually think it's rude because you, sir, are in the position of power over me. I'd like to see you walk up to me in WalMart and hit on me then. 

Legit Pharmacy

The pharmacy is short staffed tomorrow so I will be working FE from 8 to 4 and then from 4 to 9 I'll be in the pharmacy...long long long day ahead of me. Which means sorry Courtney, I'm not going to your party tonight.

moeny

No, place where I work, I am not thrilled that you have lost my paycheck. I am the opposite of thrilled. I swiped my card for an expensive camera and I needed to make that deposit. Thank you for making me wait and not able to spend my money I work hard for.

All you do is annoy me.

I posted earlier about the night club situation and I said I'd give more details later. It's later:

A: so what is going on tonight?
M: what do you mean? Did something change?
A: no I meant like car situation. Are yall going to come after work or are yall going straight there (that's really one question)
M: I guess we're going straight there. Neither one of us have work today
A: alright. check and see when it opens btw [it makes me sooo mad when she tells. me. to "check xyz"]
M: Gurl once again you have a smart phone and I'm not in front of a computer. [I was at Courtney's]. I did fb message them and the cover charge is $6
A: oh yeah I couldn't find it on their facebook page
M: I went to the website and it had no info so I messaged them
A:  I wonder what the theme is. We should have gone yesterday because it was rave
M: I think it's 80s and I don't think I'm going my schedule got changed and I have to at work for 6 am
A: oh well then.
M:Yeah, but I'll live
A: Way to be lame Mia. [Really? Being responsible is lame? I guess you're so cool because you're one of the most irresponsible people I know; you aren't even responsible enough to take care of your own kid, but as long as you're "not lame" it's fine.
M: Yes because I have to get up at 5 and do heavy lifting so staying out all not is not attractive. I didn't want to go out in the first place and clubbing isn't all that exciting. [It really isn't. It's lost it's amusement to me. Idk maybe because I can go whenever I want to when I'm in richmond]
A: hahaha why did you agree to go? [Courtney said her "hahaha" was amanda trying to keep it "light". I agree]
M:  I never said I would. I said I'd think about it.
A: Ohh well Christina thought you were going [does this make a difference?]
M:  I told her I'd think about it. I never told anyone I was going.
A: ooohh
M: yup have fun.
A: I suppose I shall.

All that for telling her I wasn't going, but when I told Christina well all hell broke loose:

M: I told Amanda already, but I'm not going tonight. My schedule got changed and I have to be at work for 6 instead of 7:30.
Ch: Ugh fine. Lol. Are you still coming over? Do you want to help me pick out what to wear?
M: Sorry my phone died. We can reschedule sewing (cosplay making). end me pix and pix and I'll tell you yay or nay.

And then it turned into pix and pix and me tweaking it.

I then told her to "go get your grind on".
She then said she'd wish I go because it's weird only knowing one person [I can understand that and agree]

The next day I texted her on break, "Sooo how was your first clubbin experience?"
Ch: We didn't actually go.  We ended up siting at tripps and watching her and her friends get drunk. lol.
M: : ( and amanda was giving me such an attitude about it yesterday.

As you can see I have smart friends and then people that need to get their head examined.

Today at work an 85 year old man had me lean over the counter as he whispered in my ear, "You're sexy." It was very awkward. I'm very grateful that he left before I had to say anything to him. I've never been called 'sexy' before, so isn't this a great first time?
