RETIRED: Target chit chat

Good Morning Meanies

Please let today be a better day. I already woke up early and I think I am ready for bed!



Yesterday...Went to Post Office to pick up the new hearing aids. Well, it comes in a huge box..I am thinking maybe a five by five box, a little box for two hearing aids. Nope. Nada it comes ina medium size proirity box. It is full of stuff. But the main thing is the manuels on how to use them. I am worried, Like you know they go in your ear and stuff. But why is there THREE different instruction manuels. One for the aids, another one for the remote and I am thinking the last one is for the bluetooth.

So on my way I am driving to work. My tire blows out. Midght of been something on the highway since it is construction season. Now I get off the interstate since the car is going bumpity bump. I am like it is not the road..Nope look and the tire is like gone. I was in the parking lot of one of those oil change places and the guys were willing to help me out. Out comes the spare and everything. Guess what one of the bolts is striped. Ok. Now I do not want to call AAA. Since umm I let that expire since I am trying hard to cut costs. I call the car insurance and the agent said yea you have towing assistance on your policy. Found a towing company/tire place and out he comes. Now I have to get two new tires. Was going to go for one new one to match the spare but the spare one will cost me over $200 and the I can get two new ones for the $50 more. Now I never would of bought two tires since I normally get four at a time.

Got to work TWO hours late.

Look and see I had a customer come in the day before. Huge order and the girl that rang her up gave me Less than 1/10th of it. I was upset. Less than 30 minutes later. Someone is wondering why a huge window covering got sent to the store and not to the customer's address. Guess what my name was on it. Was not my customer orginally but I had to rering it for whatever reason and my ID number was attached to this. Yikes!

The part that totally shooked me up. Was I am watching the other people researched this, since I am only wearing ONE hearing ad and whenever there is a group situation I can watch their body actions and pick up pieces oh what is going on. So when the group figures it is my fault this item was delivered to the store. I am like what is happening and I am like trying hard to deciper everything that just happened and everyone is like totally asking questions. Hello..I am like searching and reviewing and trying hard to figure things out. I start to rephrase everything that took place. I was cut off my another employee, like I should know what was said.

I got pissed. I said something and I walked off crying. That was my day...oh yea got called into the office because the girl that cut off my verbal response thought I was upset about the customer's order and I had to go an explain that it was like like HER fault and my disability and I was trying hard to figure out everything.

Not a good day.

I guess I just don't believe that there is a mathematically un-inclined person. In my experience and opinion, that's just junk fed to kids when they are young - every child learns differently and if they're not taught in their learning style, they lose interest and some adults around them gather that they're not inclined. it feeds upon it self. I've seen this in adults, too - been told all their lives they're not good at math, and then they find a good teacher and someone who believes in them and they ace the class.

our brains can learn anything, if someone is willing to teach us.





sending you a) congratulations on the pregnancy, b) condolences on the loss c) strength and prayers for everything working out and for stress relief.

Hello All,

I found this thread when looking for the Target weekly deal thread. My daughter recently moved to an area that has a Target so I was hoping to be able to advise her on sales.

Does that thread still exist? I thought it was in deal talk but don't see it.

Thanks!

Thanks to you both!!

I believe everyone has their strenghts and weaknesses. Not everyone is the same or learns as easily.
It's easy to think that though if you are good at something I guess
I had some of the most amazing teachers throughout school. I was even on the math team in the 3rd grade. When algebra and geometry started, I just kept falling further and further behind. My good friend's father was my algebra teacher and he worked with me endlessly and patiently. Some people just aren't good at certain things, math is mine.

You can still hang out here tho, we aren't TOO mean. Pay your homage to bunnies at the door, brew yourself a cup of fancy coffee (Thursday is honor your Keurig day, if I remember correctly) and be prepared for pee and poop talk!

Thanks to you both!!

i recommend that you have your daughter read the first post and both wikis a couple times to get her up to speed quickly. reading thru the first time is probably very overwhelming so it's good to read it again so it sinks in.

most of the hot deals, coupon matchups, etc are in the wiki so if she reads it she'll know what everybody is talking about.

also, for this wk, BB stands for the brand, banana boat, and SS stands for sunscreen most of the time instead of smartsource sunday coupon circular.

if she has any questions after reading the wiki or about the wiki, she can always ask in the deal thread.

Last week: Surprise! I'm preggo. I'm not only preggo, but 11 weeks along.
