New Hair

Photobucket
This is my new hair! It's only wavy though because my stylist asked how I wanted it styled and I told her she could do whatever she wanted. So I'll probably post a picture later of how it will normally look :)

Hair...

So I'm dying my hair tomorrow then getting it cut...and I don't know how to get it cut! I still want it long so I don't think I have many options... I hate making decisions about how to get my hair cut! I also would like to look older (everyone thinks I'm only like 17...but I'm 21) and I know with short hair I look older but I've been working so hard to grow it out! I'm still growing it out from November 06 when I chopped 12 inches off... So that's why I still want it long. So if anyone is reading this I am open to suggestions...you have until 4:00pm tomorrow! I'll post a picture of course with the finished product. Hopefully I get some ideas!
That's about all I have to say today except I've decided if the computers aren't breaking on me I end up getting hurt - I got cut once last week and I got cut again today. Cashiering is rough :P

Computers Don't Like Me

So I've decided today officially that computers don't like me. It all started my freshman year at BYU when I went through a computer each semester--they weren't new, but still! I have come to this official conclusion since starting work as a cashier at The Home Depot. I have only been on my own for about 2 weeks and here's what all has happened in such a short period of time.
On Thursday I was ringing someone up and I needed to endorse his order so I put the paper in the spot for endorsements on the printer...and it jammed... Someone came over to fix it and they couldn't so we tried to swap printers with a register we weren't using and in the process the computer shut down! So we called to make sure his order went through since I couldn't give him a receipt. Then once they got the computer up and running again as soon as my next customer came up the computer went blank! Then once they got it rebooted again I needed to do an endorsement on another order and guess what...there was no ink in the printer we swapped the jammed one for! After that there were no problems...on Thursday anyway.
On Friday after my second customer the computer went blank again! This time they couldn't get it back up so my till/cash drawer was stuck in that computer so I was stuck shadowing at returns--so basically I stood around all day because it was really slow.
On Monday they put me on the register we put the bad printer on (it's rarely used) and I asked them if it was going to work and they said it worked fine on Saturday so I went. I needed to endorse a check and found out there was no ink in that printer because we took it out to put on the printer I used on Thursday! I think that's the only problem I had on Monday and Tuesday went well.
Today (Wednesday) I was watching self-checkout for a while and I also was on the register connected to it. I was in the middle of tendering a huge order and the computer froze! So I had to restart the computer and void the whole thing and go into assist mode on self check out and re-scan everything! While the computer was rebooting a customer wanted me to ring him up but I explained that I couldn't because the computer wasn't working at the moment and he got really mad because there was only one other cashier at the time and he didn't want to wait or do self-check out so he stormed out of the store. Then later I was on a different register and it started getting really really slow and it seemed like it was going to freeze like the one earlier did so we had to shut it down and I had to swith to another register.
So what do you think? Do computers hate me?! I think so... One of the head cashiers told me they should put me in a department so I don't have to deal with computers and I told her that's what I wanted anyway because I don't like cashiering haha. But I'm still stuck here...
