Working at the furniture outlet was my first real job I guess. Lots of good memories. I miss it now. I don't want to forget the little things, so I'm making this list...

  • the mall atmosphere
  • how walking between store 1 and store 2 was like a mini-break from work
  • having lunch with Mike, Cody, Bernetta, Tracey, Danvey, and Myra
  • taking breaks to go look around in Cornerstone
  • Mike and I harassing Gina
  • getting a strawberry jelly biscuit and 20oz Mountain Dew from Cornerstone for breakfast
  • getting lunch from Cornerstone
  • the breakroom...despite it's rough look, it was a nice place to escape to for awhile
  • becoming friends with most of my co-workers and still keeping in touch with several of them
  • Danvey playing his guitar when the managers weren't there
  • standing around talking to Danvey
  • Santos trying to jump the trashcan and hurting himself
  • Santos and Danvey harassing Rosanna
  • sharing a sales desk with Tracey
  • putting the black-eared bunny on Andy's desk
  • watching Andy patrol the front of the store like a shark
  • rooster jokes and references
  • putting the rooster accessory on Rosanna's desk
  • Andrew calling everyone "wildcat"
  • talking to Tony at the mattress store
  • meeting Scott on my first day of work at the back door
  • driving too fast through the nearly empty mall parking lot
  • Mike telling me I almost hit a woman in the parking lot...I gave her time to walk
  • searching for furniture in the warehouse areas and on the trucks...it was like finding a treasure when you found the exact piece you needed
  • playing baseball with fake bread and a tape ball at store 2 with Mike
  • pushing each other around on handtrucks
  • having 7 or 8 managers in a span of only 4 years
  • how Andrew was manager when I began and when I left
  • Danvey working there and leaving and then working there again like 3 times

To be continued...
