Stop Dreaming Start Believing: Festival of Trees

Yesterday Kyle and I went to the Festival of Trees. It was this huge building with rows and rows and rows and rows of trees people had decorated. We didn't even get half way through the trees before we wanted to move on the to gingerbread houses. All of the trees are sold and the profits are donated to a children's hospital. I had to take a picture of the twilight tree. This was actually one of the lame ones. There were some really pretty ones that were just very classy, and there were also some that had themes, obviously like the twilight one. The ballet one was on of my favorites. A tree in a tutu. How cute! But the best part definitely was not the Christmas trees..it was the flipping gingerbread houses! Some of them were seriously so legit. I would like to meet some of the people that made and decorated them. So anyways, I worked two shifts yesterday. I got trained as a cashier. Being a cashier is so much more fun than working the fitting rooms, or being a runner, or just taking care of a section. There's a lot more interaction with the customers. The down side is, our computer is super slow when it comes to running debit cards. It's a really awkward like 60 whole seconds while it processes and people are always like "should I type my pin again?" No, just stand there and wait. Hence the reason I said, "give it a second, it's slow." It's also really annoying that you have to have a manager for exchanges, gift cards, if a customer decides they don't want something, and a million other things. So they give me a walkie talkie to call for a manager when one of these things happens, but multiple times last night I would call on the walkie and I would here it on the other side of the counter. What's the point of giving me a walkie to call YOU if YOU don't even have it with you?! Odd..
