Dear IKEA Customers....

Here are a few words of advice that will make yours and my life much, much, easier when you shop:

1. Please come up the escalator and start in the showroom first if you've never shopped before. Going straight to Martkethall will only confuse you and make your trip longer than you want it to be.

2. If there's no carts left, please grab a yellow bag or try to find an abandoned one. I don't keep any stored by my I-Tower, so grab one when you enter first.

3. Please grab a Map/Shopping List and a Pencil or ask me for one because truly, your going to need it.

4. P-Tags are meant to stay ON the merchandise, not ripped off and taken with you, or thrown onto the floor.

5. The same goes for red locators. They are stapled in for a reason and usually when something stapled one to two times it usaually, 100% of the time means "DO NOT TAKE".

6. Please...don't pull on the banners. It takes a long time to get those little plastic ends slid correctly on the top and bottom of them and they rip oh so easily. Really...if you just don't touch...and keep your kids from pulling on them...it'd make things alot more fun! Really!

7. I don't mind if your kids make a mess...infact I encourage it to see how much they like the toys and then will beg and beg you to buy it for them but you dear customer are a grown person. I don't expect you to make a mess such as leaving things on the floor...that's kinda dangerous. If you knock something over....can't you take like 2 minutes to pick it up?

8. Don't hang on the Ekkore swings or hanging rings....I mean really...it may be hanging from the ceiling but that doesn't mean it will hold all of your weight. It's meant to look at and touch...but not to hang.

9. No..I will not sell you a display. I can't take down any of the lights even if I wanted too so please don't get angry at me, it's not my fault. Is it so hard to be patient for another week for it to come back in? Getting angry at me will not make it appear out of thin air or make me change my mind. And if you take a display thinking you've outsmarted me, just wait until you get to the cash lanes, they'll only tell you same thing. So why don't you save me a trip to go backs and yourself the trouble of lugging something heavy around and just leave the displays alone?

10. Once you've entered, the only way out of the store is going through Markethall. Please let me finish so I can tell you the easiest way (ie: Just stay to your left!) out. Telling me you want to get to the front of the store the fastest way possible and looking at the locked double doors isn't going to make you get there any faster. Those doors are locked for a reason and yes you HAVE to go THROUGH MARKETHALL. Throwing a fit, getting mad at me and telling me that the way the store is set is ridiculous won't change anything. The only way I will get those doors open is if it's an emergency (in which case LP would probably be handling that matter), or if you need to get a wheelchair A.S.A.P. I'm sorry if you want to get to the Swedish Food Market or an ice cream from the Bistro....you still have to go through Markethall.

So IKEA customers...if you just keep all this in mind, your trip will be so much more joyous and you'll be happy, which makes me happy.

Ughhhhhh....lol. I can dream right? I can only dream that customers would follow those rules. Buuut I love to help out, so if the customers did everything right, that would mean that I wouldn't have anything to do! =D Which would be boring.
I love my job, and I love being able to help the customers make orders and show them how to shop at our wonderful store.

New Shoes...

New black Vans for work. They're really comfy and let's face it...Van's are just awesome...but Converse are still my number one choice of shoe...just sayin...<3

I Made A Wish on 11:11...

Still waiting for my wish to come true....I'll never tell.
So my computer is waiting to be picked up from the Geek Squad. I've left it there an extra day as punishment for getting sick! Aren't I a stinker? LoL.

Today I saw Hulk Hogan shopping with Nick and Brooke. They look alittle different in person, it's kinda funny. I totally stalked them...and it kinda creeped me out. Haha. They must have been Christmas shopping or something.
So yesterday Sarah Rivera came to visit me with someone who I hadn't seen in years....Micheal Hauter! Still tall but not quite the string bean I was used to seeing. We've planned a BCA reunion for December 29th. So anyone who went to that....."wonderful" school, come join us in Ybor City for lunch and a movie, it's gonna be fun.
So Oilily is not doing to well it seems. Which means it's time for me to find another job. I was looking into St. Joseph's hospital because there's always something to do there. Wish me luck, job's are scarce these days.

On a happy note, I've gotten most of my Christmas shopping done! I've just got to get one more thing for Mallory, a couple of things for Casey, one for McKenna and something for my mother....which means something chocolate for her.
So Heroes season 3 is finished and let me say it was really really really confusing! OMG...yeah but I loved it and I can't wait to see what season 4 is gonna bring. Apparently they're all fugitives now.
And now I'm watching House...but it's an old episode, which saddens me. But I'll deal, new episodes in the new year to come! Party!
Tommrow I want to go to the youth group christmas party and chill with my little homies, haha.
So that's the news for now, nothing to interesting huh?
Why don't you leave me a comment, those make me happy.

Peace

Guess Who I Saw At The Mall?????

Linda Hogan!!!!
OKay so I'm not sure what her maiden name is because I know she's like in the process of divorcing Hulk Hogan...or maybe she is already.But anway, I was at work talking with McKenna when all of a sudden I see her and her much much younger boyfriend out of the corner of my eye!!! My jaw dropped and I ran to the doorway to watch them walk into Burberry. Actually, Linda was like sorta draggin her boyfriend almost. Hehe it was kinda funny. Me and McKenna kept walking to the door to see if they would walk back in our direction and finally when we weren't paying attention, they walked past again. McKenna's jaw dropped this time and we ran to the door and like stared at the back of her head the whole time they walked away.Haha there were some people that stopped in their tracks and stared to. But she's like a local celebrity around Tampa, because she and the rest of the Hogan's live in Clearwater.But anyways, it was kinda cool to me anyways...lol. I know I'm a doooork!Oh, and she happens to have really nice blonde hair extensions. I know for a fact that's not her real hair. And she's really tall too!But that's my excitment for the day.Until next time!

Lack of Updating is B-A-D

Okay so I finally have stuff to blog about! Work has been keeping me tired...which makes me lazy, which makes me not want to update. See, there's a good excuse for everything.
So there's a new girl at work named Heather and I already LOVE her! She's sooo sweet and she's 19 just like me. We like the same music, have the same taste in clothes and other stuff too. It's pretty pretty cool. I can't wait to work more with her which is going to be happening because Cassie is going on her maternity leave early soo more hours for me! Devra wanted me to start working on Sunday's after chuch but my mom is not having any of that. If I had my own car I would but as long as me and my mom are sharing one and I don't have a liscence yet, I'm stuck to her rules. Oh well.
But on the driving news, it's all going pretty well. I drive most of the time and take interstate. Buuuuuut I'm still really bad at turns..and backing up..and getting into parking spaces. Those are pretty important right? Guess I need alot more practice.
My mom and I are going to Publix tommrow so that I can fill out a job application. I really want to work at Oilily until January like planned, but if Publix can hire me right away I'll have to take it because it'll probably be more helpful in the long run. Publix will help with school and stuff so it's pretty good.
Speaking about school. I'll hopefully start in January taking Remedial Math. What sucks is I have to pay for that class and it doesn't even count towards my credits! Grrrrr...whatever. I hate math, I'm really really bad if you didn't guess by now. My mom said if I don't get into school this year then I'll have to get a full time job and I really don't want an office job.
I think that Oilily might be going down the tube though. There is so much drama going on in the company that it's like a soap opera! I don't want to say to much though...I will another time.
So today at work I got a visit from Kyle!!! I haven't seen the dude in like a whoooole month, let alone talk to him. I was starting to get sad and stuff because Kyle's like the big brother I never had. Soooo I nearly tackled him when I went to see him.
He's doing good. Right now he's playing for the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Performing Arts Center! Isn't that cool?. He's going to be really busy for like a long time so I don't know when I'll see him agian...buuut there's always the phone. He promised to call me back everytime I called and he couldn't answer so I'm holding him to his word!!! Or else!!
Anyways, I'd better end it here. I have to get to work tommrow morning.
Oh and wish me luck! Thursday I get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed...scary!!
Peace,
Kianni

It Was A Long Day...

So Kim had to cancel me babyisitting and sleeping over because she wasn't feeling to welll. That's okay though, there will be other times.

Other than that, it was an okay day at work. It was slow but a couple of our regualar customers came in and made it worthwhile. But other than that....I was pretty much bored. Annnd when Kianni gets bored she has to think of ways to entertain herself, so I took a couple of pictures to show you what I do at work! I like to play around in the dressing rooms and take pictures!

I check the e-mails at work! Fun stuff.....

So that's pretty much it. I don't have anymore cool pictures to show you. Buuut hopefully my next blogs will be more interesting. I'm tired and I have to work tommorow...so peace out!
