Day 30: Wanda

I thought of Wanda during my post about Vicki, and I had to do a quick thank you to her, wherever she is now. That lady kept a lot of the younger employees sane during our time there. She was such a wise lady. She always pitched in and gave 110%. Every job has that older lady who doesn’t complain too much, loves her coworkers like she’s their momma, and always is pitching in to get things done. That was Wanda. She could get riled up and get angry (we had THE WORST managers ever, a lot of employees quit before corporate finally got rid of them), but mostly she was sweet and always thinking about others. It was my first real job, and I survived as long as I did because Wanda was there to show me a lot of things about the working world. I went up to see her a lot after I quit, and one day I found out she’d transferred to another store in Mesquite. I haven’t seen her in years, but any time I drive by that old Target I think of her. She was a neat lady! Thanks, Wanda, for being there for a couple of teenagers in their first job! You were the best! =)
