So in my past entries I did write briefly about working at MRJ's but i figured I should go into a bit more detail since it took up a huge portion of my summer.

I started working there last April and it was a lot tougher than I thought. I just couldn't get a handle of things. It was my first job ever, but just seemed to suck at it. So, my hours decreased and decreased on the schedule, which of course frustrated me as well as gave me less time to get better. I also started working with Danielle, my once best friend in early high school who turned into one of my biggest enemies. I couldn't believe my luck. Well, my coworkers convinced my boss to just give me more hours on the schedule and they would all work with me. They did and I got much better at handling work. I think it was mostly because I was totally clueless when it came to the idea of working. I had just been a spoiled only child for far too long. Working with Danielle went suprisingly well. We had both grown up and no longer had all the high school drama following us. We first had to tolerate each other in order to work together, but soon we became friends again. I am so glad that we were thrown together like that, because we probably just would have gone on hating each other. Now, we are really good again.

While I was improving, Angie hired another person who we all soon began to hate. She wouldn't do anything like she was taught to and she tried to run the place. She would do everything over while closing because it wasn't how she would do it or worse yet, "the streaks weren't all going the same way on the stainless steel" She was annoyingly perky and thought she was perfect. She once told me that she wasn't capable of talking about another person behind his/her back...she was just too good of a person to do such a thing. But, I must mention that she talked about each of us to whoever she was working with at the time. This was a real bad idea because the rest of us were a tight bunch. Needless to say, we slowly blocked her out of the group and just stopped talking to her unless we needed to. Yea, we probably sound like a bunch of catty girls, but we were all females working together...it was bound to happen. But with Becky constantly trying to find a way in by trying to start shit between the rest of us, it was just easier to not speak to her.

Even through the drama, we all ended up having a great time working last summer. We loved to jam out to music and find faboulous ice cream combinations. We are all still fairly close, well we try. One of still goes to high school, one goes to temple and the rest of us are at Mansfield, but have conflicting schedules. We did have a meeting this past saturday about when we would re-open and creating our schedules. It was a wonderful reunion! We are all coming back next year, with the exception of Becky, and we can't wait for our ice cream store to open! All of us became heavily addicted to ice cream last summer and we are all dying to get a spoonful of our favorites.
