Thank you to all who prayed for my motivation...it came in leaps and bounds today, until my disability acted up and I had to go home early.
Sick on Christmas Eve isn't fun, but I'm feeling a bit better, so I should be able to spend Christmas Day with my family, as planned.
Cellulitis is a skin infection caused by bacteria. Normally, your skin helps protect you from infection. But if you have a cut, sore, or insect bite, bacteria can get into the skin and spread to deeper tissues. If it is not treated with antibiotics, the infection can spread to the blood or lymph nodes. This can be deadly.
The other night, the machine that I use to bring in long rows of carts at my job died completely. It will not respond to anything or anyone. In fact, it took two people and myself with a pallet jack about ten minutes to move the dead machine back into the building.
Last night, I was scheduled for half of my shift alone. I work at a Wal-Mart Super Center, if that gives anyone an idea of how big a parking lot I have to cover. The guy who had just gotten off work before me is literally mentally retarded, and slower than all get out. He's a nice guy, but he just doesn't give a hoot about his job (apparently). Both cart tunnels were almost completely empty when I started my shift.
I began to work as hard and as fast I could to get as many carts as I could in, but they had me working during one of our peak times, when it is nearly impossible for three people with the cart machine to keep up. So, the call went out to the managers to ask for volunteers to help push carts.
After my shift ended, I got a "coaching session" (which is one step below a write up) about how I was not fulfilling the requirements of my job, and perhaps my company should reconsider my position with them.
I had a reasonably good day right up until that last fifteen minutes. Now I don't know what the future holds in terms of my job, if they're telling me I can't complete the job as requested.

If it helps, Ive worked at WalMart before and they are VERY slow to fire someone. Did you tell them that the tunnels were empty when you started, that the cart machine is broke, and that you were the only one working OR did you just sit there and take it? I'm just curious.
I'm praying, friend.
I told them the situation, but it didn't seem to make a dent.

Thank you to all who prayed, but unfortunately it seemed like I was stuck in a repeat of my last shift for this shift. Oh, and my paycheck that I got today was $150 (~110 Euros or ~213 Australian Dollars) short of what I thought it would be (but the math unfortunately adds up to support the amount on the check). Add that to the fact that I can't sleep and have to be at work at 7:00am (seven hours from now), and it's going to be a long day.
"I'm havin' trouble tryin' to sleep...I'm countin' sheep but runnin' out..."
I appreciate all the prayers. Please continue to pray that work would change. I also ask that you pray that the Lord would make it abundantly clear to me what He would have me do about my current roommate situation, because it is deteriorating very fast.
One thing I know I often do is ask for prayer, and then forget to give credit where credit is due. I want to sincerely give a big hug to all who have prayed for me, and to thank the Lord for His work on account of your prayers.
My managers have become motivated to fix the equipment necessary to do my job. My co-workers are easier to work with. My own attitude has improved. Things on that front are going well.
When it comes to my living situation, I have peace about where I'm going in April, though to my pride, it is a big slice of humble pie. I am going to move back in with my folks, where I feel I will grow and mature with the knowledge I have now of what is necessary to live on my own.
Now if I can just get my heart to settle down, everything will be umbrella drinks on the beach...
Hey everyone. I've had a sore throat for going on two days now. I think I'm getting a cold or something.If ya'll could pray for me that'd be great. Thanks.
No fun! Knee-mail going up for ya, Sis.
