We gotcher glads, we gotcher roses, we gotcher carinations...

I'm currently listening to: Idobi Radio... "Drawing Board" by Mest

As much as I love working at Wolf's, I'm starting to lose some major confidence in my position there. I'm "low man on totem pole" as it is. My boss is starting to become frustrated by my lack of attention to detail. The worst part is, I've really seen it these last few weeks. Wolf's has been around for over fifty years. The original owner, a Ms. Viola Wolf, started it on the corner of Gravois and Mackenzie around 1947, and it's permanently become a fixture in the community. Some of the people who walk in to order flowers funerals for family members also ordered wedding flowers from us.

Since I've started working there, I've cried twice (once I appeared to be on the edge of a nervous breakdown, according to the co-worker nearest to my age), lost my knife, broken at least one vase a month (not to mention the occasional fire engine), forgotten numerous times to take care of that one important thing that would throw off an order completely. However, what annoys the "higher totem members" the most is when I ask a question that I should know the answer to. Common sense. After all, I've been working there for just under six months now. The cartoon below is from Monday, this week. (I decided to post it early.)

I just pray that the little things don't add up to a larger, cost-effective solution of dumping me onto the streets for someone who works faster without tripping over her size 5 feet or missing a leaf or three on the emerald that she's supposed to be trimming.

It's really too bad that the women at work couldn't hear the second half of a telephone order I took on Friday... the lady on the other end of the phone was having a rotten day. For some odd reason I heard nervous giggles escape. At the very last, she said that she was glad that I had handled her order. So maybe I'm not such a failure at this stuff after all.
