Wednesday: Hump Day

Today: More MCAS, more school, more work.

Today started like any other MCAS day, which means not good. I actually got to school early today. I had to work right after school, so i got to bring my car. It was much better getting there early, even though there isn't much to do. i like actually getting there before the bell rings. LOL.

MCAS was much better today, it only took one block(about an hour and a half). but what i really mean by that is if took some people a while block. it took me leff than 45 min. Which left plenty of time to play around with the blog. i added a nifty counter which you can see if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

Second block was good. As it always is, because it is Visual basic my favorite class. For most of the begining of the class we worked on our game program which was wicked fun. if you want a copy when it's cone just send me an E-mail and i will send it to you. Then we took notes on sequential files. Don't kno what those are? Click Here

In theatre arts today we worked on some costume designes. Which was remarkable fun. We got a few pieces of paper with blank figures of people on them. We had to design a male and a female from the fast (before 1950's) and a male and female from the future. i got the first part done today, and i'll do the second part tomorrow. If he gives us time to work on them.

English was good. We read the Act III (i think) of 'The Taming of the Shrew' which was pretty good. The rest of the time i hung out with Ashton and Wes...that was fun. We drew on her, as we seem to be pretty acustomed to doing.

After school i had work. Which was good. i got to cashier too which i like a lot. All was well until 10 min. before the end of my shift. i was cashiering and this lady had an unemployment check. Now, most of the time when you put a check through you don't have to worry about giving change. Becuase most of the time the check if for the exact ammount of the order. Not so for payroll and government checks (this one being a government check). So i for got to give her the change. Haveyou ever had one of those moment where you wanted to say something to someone but you just freeze and kind of think about it? Ya. well i had one of those moments here, mostly because i wan't sure if there was any change to give because i had alreay closed my draw. Fortunatly God was watching out for me....

i quickly turned off my light and asked the supervisor to re-print the last reciept becasue i wasn't sure if there was change to be given, but that i was sure that i hadn't given any to her. It takes a minute to re-print a reciept because the pomuter has to re-generate it. well it seemed like it took an eternity.... When the reciept finally finished printing we discovered that i had forgotten to give her $132.27. At this point i said to the supervisor "can u go get her" not the best choice of words i guess, but it did the trick. he ran out after her. Fortunatly she i s a nice lady who puts her carriage back, so it took her longe. The supervisor found her and asked her to come inside so i could give her the change, and i did. She was very thankful and so was i. DISASTER AVERTED

Im not sure if the supervisor was upset or not, or if he's going to let anyone know what had happend. hopefully not. It is a good thing i realized what had happend right a way, becasue had i started another order, we would not have been able to re-print the reciept..and we would have had to count the draw and see if there was too much. That would have pissed the supervisor off just a little. Wow god does really work in mysterious ways. i will definetly be a lot more careful now when hadling check.....wow

Thats all for now check back tomorrow to see how Part: 1 of the Math section of the MCAS will go. outie
