Summer Time = Target Time

Summer time = Target time.

I love working at Target.

I've been there for six years now.

Well, it'll be six years this fall.

It's a great place to work.

But being back at work means it's time for three things:

1. Baby Fever

2. Words of Wisdom

3. Laughter

Baby Fever

Yes, working at Target gives me baby fever. It's probably where my baby fever is the strongest, actually. I {love} it when little babies and toddlers and kiddies come through my line. The little babies, with all the little babie clothes, the big baby eyes, and little baby giggles...gah! And then there's the toddlers. Oh my goodness, I think they pull at my heartstrings the most. The littles one that just talk and talk and talk. They tell me all about the day, or try to share their free cookie with me, or talk all about their new toy they got today. Oh yes, and there's the little ones that blow me kisses....oh my goodness, my heart melts. Seriously. It makes me so excited to be a mom. Half the time when Tom sees me from right after, and he asks me how work was that day, my response is: "I want a baby." *sigh* Eventually... :)

Words of Wisdom

The old people (perhaps it's better to say elderly?) make my day too. The cute little old men that like to flirt crack me up. The little old ladies that like to talk about fashion like they're still teenagers. And the cute little old couples that hold hands and finish each others' sentences. I love the little old people. Aside from them being incredibly cute and making me giggle, they always seem to give me advice about life. They like to pass on their words of wisdom. "Make sure you surround yourself with good people." "Always carry mints in your purse." "It's okay to wear two different colored socks sometimes." "Be a rebel - don't say excuse me after you burp. People need to learn it's a compliment: it means the food was good." "Life is what you make it." "Nobody ever died from laughing too much." Those are all real 'tips' for life I've received from various elderly guests. It always amuses me. :)

Laughter

Working at Target is a hoot. It's the people that make it so much fun - both the guests and fellow employees. The guests are so much fun. The little kids that chat away make me laugh my booty off, and the little old people make me giggle. Then there's the random crazy people. There's the guy who every time I ask him how his day is going, always {always} responds: "I'm sooo great, my happiness can only be expressed in cartwheels." Seriously. He's a regular. And every time that's what he says. There's the middle-aged men who think corney jokes are funny - which they are. The guests put in me in a good mood. They make me laugh and smile. And the people I work with are awesome too! I have great bosses and great coworkers. The Target team is fun and entertaining, and work is always a hoot!

I love working at Target.

Cashiering is something I really enjoy.

Why?
Cuz I'm a people person.

And I get to interract with hundreds of people every day.

It's great.
So every summer when I come home from school, I actually am excited to get back to work.
I love it.
