Tranche de vie / Life Slice
So today around 4:20 I finished my last little test on the computer at Value Village. My result was automatically printed, I got up and brought the sheet to my supervisor. Actually, I wasn’t sure if the lady who’s been around me all the time was my actual supervisor, so I came to her and asked “Are you my supervisor?” and so she was. So we sat down in the office to check my test and then she got up and found a box with little golden pins. She took one and gave it to me as she explained that since I was done with the theory and succeeded, I had this special pin. I couldn’t help but smile, because it felt so cheesy. I asked her how long I was to wear it. She said I could wear it for a day or for as long as I wished. I think I’ll keep it on my little “apron” for the whole entire time I work at Value Village.
I was helping a co-worker and talking about my time at Bible School. We talked about the different denominations and she asked, “Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?” I said, “Yeah, God is Three in One”. She told me that all that counted was to believe in the Holy Spirit, that you were fine if you did. Hmm. I had to serve a customer and then went away doing other things, but I wonder what she meant. I’ll have to ask her sometime.
Well I hope you have a good day. Please beware, I’ll probably be venting out and telling about work this summer. Although, I want to make it a point that work does not become my life.

comment tu aime ton nouveau travail??
hey comique..i had bible school related conversations tonight too..the first training i had au résidence i spoke about my expierice to andrée working and studying at pdvb…ce soir she brought the subject back and asked me a million questions about bible school,why people go their..what i believe in..etc.anyways..i find it neat to see how things are going.even if i feel overwhelemed & overloaded by everything, and havent taken the time to spend time with god these past weeks..i see him at work..its neat.
i am now going to bed before i throw up eveything in me..goodnight love.
Do, please remember that I’m probably not the only one reading your comments so maybe people don’t want to read about your need to vomit, and espcially when you say “throw up EVERYTHING in me” (capitalization mine). People will think your disgusting first of all and then, will believe you’re a liar because you probably cannot throw up EVERYTHING you got in your insides since you have an okay health overall (notice I didn’t say GOOD health).
Anyways. My new job is fine. I’m barely starting to understand how things work. Saturday I’m becoming a cashier for the day for the first time. Should be pretty simple. People are nice. But I’m really looking forward to feel comfortable with my duties and people around. I really enjoy helping customers though. The thing that bother me is that I never know what language to use. French, English or, signs. I very often get people who don’t speak my first or second language. I should survive.
I think it’s neat that you get to talk about Jesus at work, even to your manager or whoever it is. It’s good to take up every little opportunities we have. I remember on wednesday morning, I was interviewed by one of my former teachers at university who is doing research on a certain speech phenomena that is happening among native speakers of English and people who speak English as their second language. He asked me to talk about myself and do I talked about my time in Bible School and then in Saskatchewan, my Baptist background and etc. So he’s got it all recorded and will be listening to it for research (not on the content for sure but still). I didn’t tell about what I believe in, but at least he was curious and thought it was interesting that I went the places I went and etc.
Keep it up!
everything in me: meaning food wise in my belly is possible..thats what i meant..no more comments like that to be seen.
im glad you enjoy your new job!
Well, I don’t ENJOY it YET. It’s ok. I never feel like going to work though. I feel like I’m wasting my time. Although, I know I’m not, but oh, I don’t like working for the sake of money. SO. I should make it a point to seek God’s Kingdom, which is quite hard. I don’t see how I can do that at work apart from when I chat with people here and there. But my actual duties?
ya i see what you mean!!
motivating one’s self to go work isn’t always easy!!kids,personnes agés and fruits do it for me though o im happy!!!
