I'm just special.

I know what you all have been thinking. Wow! I wish Emily would post more about her embarrassing life!
Never fear. Your dreams are coming true today.
I recently managed to get myself a job at my local Macey's grocery store. Right now I'm a bagger so it's pretty easy work, the hours aren't tough, and it's been pretty good. Today was the beginning of our "Case Lot" sale. Pretty much they just sell a bunch of stuff in bulk for super cheap - but it mostly includes cans. Lots and lots of cans.
The plus side to this is that the cans are usually bought by the case (hence the name "case lot") so we can just scan one can from the case and move along.
WELL.
I had some serious issues with getting the scanner in the perfect angle to scan the can without unwrapping the case. Instead, I ended up just destroying the wrapping of the case, grabbing a single can out, and scanning it. It was taking AGES and I was so embarrassed!
This was at one cash register. After failing multiple times there, I moved down to another cash register. This one being run by a rather handsome young man. Very nice. Very polite. Pretty funny. Hoping I could impress him with my can scanning skills, I eagerly met the customer with the scanner to get all their cans. I struggled for a bit, but with the help and guidance of cashier man, I was able to successfully scan the case of cans without damaging the wrapping! I was so excited that I let out this...noise. Not like a "hooray!" or "yeah!" but more like a duck quack...or a horn. It wouldn't have been too embarrassing except it was LOUD. It was like I completely lost my composure and made a fool of myself.
"That was pretty loud!" I said.
"Yeah...yeah it was." He responded.
We all laughed it off, I regained my composure, work went on.
The next cart full of cans, I was at the ready with my scanner. "Don't get too excited!" Cashier man joked.
"Oh, I'll try not too," was my nervous reply.
I got to the cart and turned into a scanning machine. I was doing so well! All without any loud noises coming from my mouth. I scanned the last item, happy with my success. At this point, I was behind the shopping cart, underneath the handle. With every ounce of vigor and vim, I stood up and BAAAMMM. I hit my head on the cart handle. HARD.
Are you kidding me???
"You're welcome!" was my reply as I stood up. "I'm actually just here for entertainment."
Seriously. I'm like a walking circus.
Needless to say, we had plenty of things to laugh about during my long shift. Hopefully it entertained you as much as it did my coworkers and myself.
God bless America.
