Jumbled Thoughts

ring for Kait ^_^
It's been a hell of a week, a really great week. The day after my last post, me and Angel had a little mediation thingy with Mike and everything got worked out, so we didn't lose her as an employee and we both apologized for what happened and such. The me and Mike talked for a little bit after it, and everything's all nice and squared away with it. Besides that, work has been pretty good actually. We got our audit the day after my last post and got a 94, which is awesome. Tom (our DM) was very proud of us for doing so well with him not being there (he was trying to follow Ed around the best he could to help each of the stores with their scores. Actually, one of the things that we got taken off for he's going to argue about (some log that doesn't really apply to mall units), so we might actually have a 97 if that goes through well. On top of that, we had our Champs Check (mystery shopper type thingy) and got a 100 on that. If we get a 100 on our next/final one, then we're actually in the running to be Golden Bell status for the year, which means we really kick ass, a nice bonus and rewards all-around. I'm really looking forward to that if it happens. I also started up at KB, which isn't bad. I haven't really done much there besides help out with the truck and put stuff away, but that's fine. I was taught register but haven't actually used it yet, though I'm sure it will be my best friend on Black Friday. I am not looking forward to that day. -_-

Other stuff, there really hasn't been that many big things this week, except one really big thing this weekend. This weekend, I was finally able to put an engagement ring on Kait's finger. Yep, a way to get her one finally presented itself this weekend unexpectedly. A few years ago when my grandma died, my mom got a couple of rings. Sometime between when we had dinner that night a few weeks ago and this week she remembered about them. So she showed the rings to some of the other teachers she worked with and asked them if she should offer me one to use for an engagement ring for Kait. They all said she should, so when I visited yesterday, she told me about them and showed them to me. I was really shocked and happy, and very gladly accepted her offer. The one thing I've regretted about when I proposed to Kait was the fact that I didn't have a ring for her, so having a ring offered to me just blew my mind. I never thought that something like that would happen, and it just blew my mind. I accepted her offer and suprised her almost right after work last night. She suprised me by cooking me some dinner and bringing it over, so then I suprised her by taking the ring box out of my pocket and opening it in front of her. ^_^ The sheer amount of hapiness and shock was just plain awesome. It was a great night finally putting a ring on her finger, and seeing her so very happy because of it. It was a little big though, sop we went to the mall today to get that fixed. Since the band isn't gold, it couldn't get refitted, but we were able to get a ring guard to get it to fit on her finger nicely. It definetly looks like it belongs on her finger and we're both very happy that her finger is finally not naked anymore. ^_^

Current Mood: happy
