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!

Hi Sunshine,
Yea, those fries don't smell all that good do they?? My kids both worked in restaurants when they were going to college, and my dad owned a restaurant, so the smell of all that food permeates everything you wear, and your shoes are a bit greasy on the bottoms as well. You will have her removing them at the door soon.
Yea, that first job can be real fun especially when you are learning the ropes cause John Q. public is not always very patient.,
and when you are learning you need someone to give you a little grace.
Will be praying for Olivia, like her name, it is beautiful!! and she is a very pretty girl, also looks very sweet.
have a good evening hon,
Blessings, Nellie

Love and prayers for Olivia, Lois! That first job is always a toughie, but once she has made some friends and had that all important cheque to bank it will seem a little easier I hope! Fiona x

Prayers for Olivia that things will get better. My grandson is working for his dad on construction as go-for boy but he is saving up for his first car also. He is also learning good work ethics.
Love hearing about these young kids who have a job and a goal.
I hope that you make your goal.
Hugs

Good for her! I know she can do it; but will say a prayer that it gets easier each day she's there.

I will pray for her! It's so good to see young people working for their desires, instead of parents handing it over to them! Our son went to work at 16....saved enough money (before we were even ready) to help pay off the car I had driven for one year and it became his! I was so proud of him!
Your daughter will be so proud of herself when she gets that first paycheck!
Have a great Weds!

Oh boy does this bring back memories. My first job was at Del Taco (a fast food taco stand) and I remember those days have achy feet and not smelling so great! It is all good though as she is learning great work ethic and like you said she will love that paycheck! I'll pray for her.
Hugs, Sharon

I remember my first job at Arby's and coming home smelling like fries- after awhile i didn't smell it anymore but others did.
and boy the aching back , yes it gets easier.
Will pray for her on her 8 hour day- thats along one too-.

Tell her it does get better and you do get used to standing on your feet for several hours. AND, maybe if she works there she will start to HATE fast food. (I need to get to that point!) I just checked and you're up to 90 followers. Can't wait for the give-away!
