A great boss

I've seen some qualities in my boss this past week that have stopped me in admiration. Yeah, sometimes he may be a bit ocd and most people in the bookstore aren't fond of him, but I have so much respect for him.

Almost all of us have had some type of family emergency in the department. He has been more than understanding, has a box of tissues, and just has a knack of what to do.

Saturday the iPad alarms kept going off. They were loud, obnoxious, and I couldn't figure out how to turn them off. Everyone was glaring at me in the store. I texted him asking what I should do and instead of just replying, he drove down to the store and crawled under the display for half an hour trying to fix it. We still couldn't figure it out but he was able to disconnect the noise so at least it wasn't scaring everyone half to death. He didn't have to come in, it was his day off, but he did and he didn't leave until he figured something out.

When his grandma died at work, he made sure we had enough stock on everything before going home. It was good because crazy customers were there that weekend wanting those products that wouldn't have been there if he hadn't stayed.

A girl in our department is the only one in the store who is gluten intolerant. When his boss forgot to take care of getting the gluten free food for today's potluck, he paid out of his pocket so she could have something to eat that wouldn't make her sick.

He participates in all the training we do even though he doesn't have to.

When I didn't want to do cross training today, he got me excited and at least not dreading it.

The iPad alarms on Saturday is what really impressed me. I'm glad I have such a great boss.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
