I passed my Serve Safe Exam! Yay!!! What a relief! I've been studying off and on for a few months, started studying more seriously a couple weeks ago, and then this past week was studying a LOT. I spent the majority of Thursday ( our day off) studying since my exam was on Friday morning. I guess it all paid off though because I passed the exam with a 95 pecent! I have not missed testing at all. It's something that I've never really liked about school. I think I get test anxiety! I ended up taking this particular test @ Ivy Tech in their assessment center. They sure don't make the process easy. One of the ladies there was taking everything sooo seriously. You could tell that she's a very by the book person. She barely even cracked a smile at me when reading the directions. They wouldn't even let me take any water in. I have this thing about having water nearby, so hearing this kind of triggered a bit of anxiety within me. haha So I asked if I could come out of the testing room and get a drink of water if need be and she told me no! I"m just like, "what?!" haha So I'm stuck in this tiny room with bright lights, I swear they had the heat cranked up in that place, with no water, they wouldn't even let me have a pencil and paper? I was really feeling a little trapped. I could feel myself starting to sweat and the claustrophobia setting in. I had an 'oh crap' moment so I just started whizzing through the questions. I figured if I was going to have a panic attack, I may as well get this stupid test over with first. I think I finished the test in about 20 minutes! Now the test wasn't overly complicated, but there were a lot of numbers/lists to memorize and I'm horrible at that, so I was taking it pretty seriously. Plus, I took the manager version, so it included more info.
Anyways, since that's over with, I can now move on to other things! There is a never ending list, so I'm sure I'll find something to focus on! ;)
We are hiring five new employees @ the wally. So this should get interesting! haha One of our original employees, K, is leaving. :( I'm pretty sad about it. :( She and her friend, H, have been with us from the very first day. We're kind of going through a transition it seems. Another employee, A, left bc she had a different summer job opportunity. We got rid of another employee because she just wasn't working out. Now K is leaving. We have a couple of people who will be leaving for school in the late summer. We're getting a whole new staff and I don't know that I like it. It's so hard to find the right people! I never realized that staffing would be one of our biggest obstacles! It's a bit frustrating!
Monday was Memorial Day! Was kind of a strange day since we basically worked all day. lol. Went and bought some food--hot dogs, chips, potato salad, pie, pop, etc. and set it up @ work for the employees. I made some hot dogs in the crockpot and everyone seemed to love it! So that was pretty much our party. lol. It was a rainy day, so I guess we really weren't missing out on much. But still, I would have liked to have spent it with my familia. I sent D and Larry off to watch a movie and worked in the office all evening. It finally quit raining around 9pm and we saw a full rainbow! So that was pretty cool!
Okay, well I had better get busy. Going to head to work soon. Happy Saturday! :)
