Farewell Jones
Yesterday was my last day working for Jones. I had a special assignment, demo girl... umm, I mean demo guy at Sam's Club. I got to serve Jones' two knew products, "Sweet Honey Barque" and "Thin and Crispy" chips for 8 hrs. It was a fun, yet an exhausting day. Seriously you have to give it up to those little old lady's at Sam's. While I was there I made a friend, her name was Anita, Nita for short. She was one of Sam's Club demo girls. Have you ever met someone and they are just dying to let you into their live? This was Nita. She totally laid herself open for me to read; about her recent divorce due to her husband cheating, an affair that she was apart of in her early teens, her children, etc. She was a fairly positive person though, she was very excited for me and my wedding that is coming up. 4 weeks to be exact. It just goes to show how despite we want people to be apart of our lives, that someone else can experience your joys, pains, struggles, excitement even if it's only for a min. We need that connection. I hope that I get to see Nita soon and that G-d is at work in her life.
So I had a great experience working at Jones. I love my coworkers, a few of them are long time friends and other's new faces, but I enjoyed them all. As a funny side note, working at the Jones Factory made me feel like I was living in the Wonka factory. For example - I got to see man boxes leave the warehouse on rollers, just like the opening scene of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Even on the way home, John Simpson Middles School's Boiler chimney looks like the Wonka factory's chimney.
