Once Upon a Time

No one ever said my life was never INTERESTING!

Before the modeling, before the stripping, before I ever had a clue.... I had worked for Walgreen's since I was 15. The first job I ever had. It was very neat in that they would easily transfer me to the next state (when in college)

Wait hold up .... I had to prove myself a whole lot


While working in my original store in Superior, WI,I was a cashier. The next step was to stock shelves. AH so a pricing gun...sorry for those of you before scanning....the gun was the rule.  The "guys" at the store at that time told me if I wanted to be a "stocker" I needed to grab toilet paper boxes off the top rack....pull a bail of the boxer,  and price very fast....not to mention they ALWAYS gave me the broken pricing gun(which I had to fix to keep up). Well I did. I had no problem. And let me remind you all at the time I was probably about 105lbs...or some might say a buck' o 5.

I did it ALWAYS.  Which made me very  wanted in the WALLY world. I was able to transfer to Moorhead, MN...back to Superior/Duluth(I worked for 2 stores), to Madison, WI.

Where I  choose to quit school, met my ex-hubby who was on Walgreen's scholarship (for RPH), and then I started tp manage stores. The store I was managing in Madison, WI was sold and closed. The University owned the property.  They built a new business school there...a bit ironic...but it looks amazing. Anyway  I was at the age of 20 given the job of  "scan  coordinator" (in 1990) when the stores went to scanning. A HUGE responsibility for someone of my age.

I ended the project, went on to manage in Racine, WI...where ex-hubby was and we both worked for the same company. Uh I tell ya this we eventually worked for the same job...bad on the marriage.

We also had a couple of kids at the time.

I had tell you that story to tell ya this one....


Mama needs a job, an although I will still apply to phlebotomists' jobs

I need to work now!. I do have a child in college.

Ok, after a long morning of applying, to jobs in my field  I looked on line..oh Christ long story short...I have an interview tomorrow am with Walgreen's in Lake Geneva....the last place I managed. Funny how things work....Thank GOD I never burned any bridges...so humble...ouch!...BUT wish me luck!
