The lady in black walked over to me and said that there was a competiotion between all of the stores and the store who saved the most money being efficient with the bags and bagging properly would win a bonus.
Our store along with 5 others met the requirements.
So they put the names of all the employees at these 5 stores into a drawing.
Out of over 1,200 people my name was drawn and I and only me won.
So I recieved a check for a huge bonus and now I am in shock and not responsible for being a little silly.
I'd rather not say just how much, but I will say that the amount given to me was written with the taxes accounted for and I won the money free and clear.
It was well over 100 dollars.
I must say that I was very very very surprised.
I was just praying yesterday and talking to God about how I didn't know if I was going to be able to keep working there being as I was not making very much money.
I asked for his guidance on whether I should stay or go somewhere else.
I would say he gave me a definate stay answer.
I feel so shocked and blessed at the same time.
Of course when Rick found out he wanted to spend the money all on the house.
I think not since I already gave him my half of the income tax return.
Ready to go shopping Robin?
Woo Hoo.
