Yesterday was Olivia's first day of work at McDonald's!
She worked 5 hours.
She came home completely exhausted and smelling like French fries.
Which for some odd reason,
didn't really smell all that appetizing!
I told her it would get better. I told her she won't always be this exhausted.
I told her her feet won't always hurt this much.
I told her she'll love the paycheck...and that seemed to be the only thing to help!
She has a goal...to purchase a car next year.
I'm very proud of her!
Today she has off.
I'm glad because tomorrow she works 8 hours!
So if you can, please say a prayer for her!
Don't forget about my goal...
Read yesterday's post!
Thanks!

Brings back memories of my first job in a drug store at the newspaper counter. I am sure she will love her paycheck. Isn't all this blogging fun? I hit 100 this week and could not believe it either. No one ever listens to what I say at home but it seems people are reading what I post and liking it:) Makes me feel like a million dollars and keeps me smiling:) I am so happy I have met you and so many other wonderful ladies out there in blog land.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OLIVIA!
AND YES, IT WILL GET BETTER.
THE FIRST FEW DAYS AT ANY JOB IS ALWAYS SO EXHAUSTING AND MIND BOGGLING! I GUESS BECAUSE IT'S NEW AND SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE USED TO. SHE'LL BE GREAT THOUGH. HOPEFULLY, SHE'LL GET THAT CAR NEXT YEAR!
GOD BLESS YOUR DAY LOIS!
Susie Homemaker says
Having the goal of the car will make each and every hard day worth it for Olivia...and when she gets to her goal and has the car she will appreciate it more and take better care of it...she is learning a valuable lesson...I pray that her she succeeds.
Blessings,
Susie

I so will. I understand so much. My oldest daughter worked at Country Kitchen all through high school. My youngest now works at TJ MAXX. It is so hard to see our babies having growing pains! I am praying for her!
Blessings for today~

How did you decide to go award free~I don't want to seem unkind but they take up so much time forwarding on?

My first job was at McDonald's when I was 15 back in 1994 I believe. It was tough, but I really liked getting those paychecks every two weeks. Olivia, just keep your goal in sight and you can't go wrong!
P.S. Don't wash your uniform with any other laundry...as the french fry smell will transfer to other clothes! ; )
Blessings each day says
No matter where we are, we are "there" and, in order to make it the best, we need to look for and concentrate on only what is 'best' about it, if only the paycheck. Maybe you ask her what good things she finds happening each day. with my step/heart daughter, I always tell her, on the way out to Kroger, to make the world a better place with your sweet smile and a good attitude...challenge yourself to change grumpy people.
blessings and hugs,
marcy

Hang in there Olivia~ my son has worked at Burger King for a year now, it does get better once you get used to it:)Remember to wear comfy shoes with some good walking insoles.
Lisa says
I am impressed. I lasted only four hours at a McDonald's job, many, many years ago. I think working fast food is extremely challenging, underpaid, and not for the faint hearted.
You are correct in saying that it will get easier. All jobs are overwhelming at first. Eventually, they all get to be routine. Keep us posted as she works her way towards the car.
Loretta says
Oh and prayers being sent up for Olivia that things will get easier for her. Hugs
Loretta says
Oh dear! I just checked your followers list and realized I never signed up. I have you listed in my list of blogs that I follow but never joined yours. Hope you reach your goal! Hugs, Loretta
