As a quickie note, I'm convinced I could so totally be a manager. I know thats like the weirdest out of nowhere thing to say right now, but here is what sparked the thought... I was closing up at VS yesterday and the store manager asks me what other jobs I have, so I tell her about Agel and Hollister. And she does the wide eyed OMG look like everyone gives me when I tell them that cause I know I'm insane... but then she asks if I have ever considered working management at VS. And I said yes, but I thought I had to work my way up. Kinda like Hollister where you hire your own instead of going to outside people. And she said, no, not really. So here I am thinking - Why is it that I can get a management position every where else? I'm obviously good enough to be considered.
Bless and curse the power of Nepotism.. and I probably spelt that wrong, but I don't really have the time to look for the right spelling right now cause I am really super busy at work. But I didn't want to lose this train of though, which is why I'm taking time to blog it down.

The One on Tuesday the 30th
So begins another crazy work week. It was dead at Hollister yesterday. The "Back to School" crowd is over and all the High Schools are back in sessions again. Abercrombie kicked out butt because all the college kids were coming back... but no matter, we beat them all last week. I did really well at closing today. Tory let me do it for the most part and he was just watching to see that I got it right. He even let me figure out the hours, which is one of the hardest parts of closing, but I got it. He double checked my numbers and he had 1 hour more than me, but that was OK. Not that any of this makes any sense to you, but I'm sure when I look back at this many years later, I'll laugh... so lets just say its more for my benefit at this point.
I finished reading "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" yesterday too. I didn't like it as much as I liked "Wicked." The story of Cinderella seemed to have changed. It also seemed a more realistic version. There was no magic or any such thing in the story. I liked it, but I thought "Wicked" filled in the gaps for the "Wizard of Oz" better than "Confessions" did for "Cinderella."
Regardless, once I have the energy, I'll start reading "Mirror Mirror." "Son of the Witch" is also coming out soon so that is kinda exciting.
My strategy guides arrived today. FUN!!!

The One on Friday the 26th
Wednesday night was insane. I was at Hollister's till 4 in the morning. I guess that makes it Thursday then... anyway, the District Manager for the store was coming down and Brianne (my trainer for the day) wanted the store to look good because it has been completely trashed lately. A couple of the kids stayed till 3, but I couldn't leave Brianne alone in the store so we both stayed back till 4. The DM's visit was interesting... in the sense that the Store Manager, who almost never does anything was actually walking around the store and working. I've never seen her step outside the office and walk around and stuff before. Anyway, the DM felt really bad that I had stayed so late and she told me that it should NEVER happen again, which is a little more reassuring. I know now how to avoid another scenario like that when its my turn to manage.
I also got a chance to floor supervise, more by accident then by actual assignment. Brianne left for lunch, the DM had to leave because she had a flight to catch, and so the store manager retreated back to the office, never to be seen again until it was time for her to go... and even then I don't remember seeing her leave... anyway, I was actually in one of the rooms helping out and then I realised that everyone was gone, so I had to run around and figure out who was where and where to put people when they came in, and I did that for 2 hours until Brianne came back. It was great though. I think I did pretty good considering the fact that everyone was still in the same place I had zoned them into when I came back from lunch. I'm getting the closing procedures down alot better now, like I almost know exactly what I need to do everynight. Tonight I close with the store manager... that will be interesting.
I'm also spending so much money on clothes now cause I don't have any Hollister-ish kinda tops. You don't have to wear Hollister clothes, but they have to look like they come from there, and most of all my shirts have logos and stuff all over the shirt. The thing is, I always just pick a size, and then I buy it, and then I go home and try it. Almost everytime I do that, the size is wrong and I have to go back and return it.
I haven't been to VS for a while now. Not like I have time to do that anyway, considering the fact that I'm at work from 7am to midnight. I have to stop by tomorrow though... you know.. check the schedule... see if I'm fired yet... that sorta thing...

The One on Monday the 29th
I had such a good weekend! It was so relaxing to have a day and a half to do whatever I want instead of working. I got off on Saturday at 6.30ish and I went to have dinner with my room mate at one of the best Chinese restaurants around here. And then we went to see "Brothers Grimm." I haven't even seen previews for it. Only heard about it. And so I didn't know what to expect. It was still great though. Heath Ledger, and I know I spelt that wrong, was flipping aewsome. How do I know? Because I didn't recognise him at all. Like not until the next day, when I was talking about the movie with my room mate, and she said that the guy from "Knight's Tale" was great and I was like the guy from "Knight's Tale?" Who was that? And she said it was the younger brother, and then I went to look at the poster again and I recognised him this time, and I was like WOW... he is so versatile!!! Anyway, I give thumbs up to the movie. I won't recommend it though unless you are a fantasy buff, and also because it seems more kiddie, which is the kind of movie that appeals to me, but I don't know about anyone else.
I also went to check with VS about my schedule. I don't think they are very pleased with me cause I missed out on work all of last week. One co-manager said I would get written up, but I don't know if she is serious or just mad/stressed, but in any case, I didn't get fired, and I've told them that I can only work Tues and Fris, and the store manager (she is the head honcho of all the managers) said that was fine. So I will be pretty much working non-stop until Sunday. At least I get one day's break.
My room mate is interested in getting her band professionally started. I think they could do it. I think its just hard to envision actual success at this point because there is nothing, but she and one other bandmember (HY) is really interested in it, and they are seriously working on it. They just need to get their third member (YX) more involved into it because she is the one that is going to be lead singer. I think it would be cool if they made it big. At least I can say "I know them." Oh, and I can also sell their memorabilia on eBay and make lots of money.. hahaha...
My little brother is gonna be baptised soon. I need to find an awesome present for him.
Almost done with my book. Its great!

Well, my dad just left this morning for the airport. It was a short trip, but I hope he got lots of stuff done. I was going to see him off at the hotel but I set my alarm too early and I fell asleep again and didn't wake up until he left. 
Hollisters was interesting. There are so many aspects of it that I swear are just like VS. I think I'm picking on as fast as I am because of what I've learnt at VS. I guess its a good sign that I really am learning something. I can already see the difference in VS and Hollisters, and Agel too. In VS and Agel, you actually do the work. At Hollisters, you delegate the work to other people. It is certainly refreshing to be learning the finer points of delegation. Not that this would make any sence to you, but Hollisters has 5 rooms, Bettys 1 and 2, Dudes 1 and 2, and the lounge. Bettys 1 always has at least 2 people, Dudes 1 has a person, the lounge needs at least 2, and each of the back rooms has 1 each... Through all the mambo jumbo, it basically means that you need to keep your 5 rooms covered, make sure the fitting rooms are manned, that go-backs are getting done, and you need to make sure that when people go on break things are still getting done... anyway... its a completely different aspect of what I've been learning so far. I think its flippin' awesome.
I'm also tired like nothing. I don't think I've had enough sleep since Sunday. I'm so tired that when I was getting dressed this morning, I got the wrong top on. I mean, when you go to work, you need a little dressy... I got a worn out, "this is what I wear when I know I'm going to get dirty," Pooh Bear shirt.
How sad is that??????

The One on Monday the 22nd
Well, I've been working hard all weekend cause of a screwup in the schedule at VS. I think I'm doing really well, like I think the management there likes me... don't know how much they'll like me after this week since I am not showing up all week long. Pooey.
My Dad is coming today for work. I'm so glad I don't work tomorrow so I can at least spend some time with him. He's only going to be here 2 nights, and today is my first day at Hollisters and I don't get done till 11pm so I know I won't have time to spend with him at all. I wonder what he'll say when he sees me with red hair... its toned down alot, like the red keeps washing out everytime I shower. Its still unmistakenly red, but its not as outstanding as it was when I first blogged that I had red hair.
I got 2 new books over the weekend - "Confessions of an Ugle Stepsister," and "Mirror Mirror." The guy who wrote "Wicked" wrote these and they were on sale at Costco so I got it. Can't wait to start reading it.
Yeah... so today is going to be my first day at Hollisters... I'm sure there will be lots of folding, but at least it will have more material than the stuff that I'm folding at VS. Tell you more about it later.

OK, so the story of my red hair. I had taken a long late afternoon nap, and what basically means is that by the time bedtime was approaching, I was no where near anywhere tired like I was suppose to be. So I went to get some hair colour and it was red, but I really didn't think it would stay in my hair very long... but anyway, I asked my room mate to help me colour my hair, and she was completely reluctant cause she was afraid that she might screw it up, but it turned out completely awesome. I tried to put a pic of me in red hair on the profile. I don't have a better one. And would you believe it is still washing out. Like I'm afraid to wear anything white when my hair is wet cause red is going to get on it. The week is almost over now and its been awesome. I mean, everyone who has seen it says that it looks amazing, and I'm getting compliments from complete strangers when I work at VS.
Also, my room mate got another little baby, Button. She got one the 1st week of August and she was being a Florence Nightingale to it. I thought she was really sweet. But the little dear was weak to begin with, and didn't do so well despite everything that my room mate tried. And we finally brought it back to the store where there was an "expert" (you could totally tell he loves animals) and he tried to nurse the darling, but it didn't work either and the darling died a week after we got it. My room mate was completely upset and we keep looking into pet stores when we have time. She finally got another one just this last Tuesday. It was a runt, just like Zipper and just about as small. But its amazing how lively this little fellow is. I called him Button because I was trying to think of how she came up with the name Zipper, and when I think of apparel accessories that relate to a Zipper, I could only think of Button. Its a temporary nickname though cause she cannot stand calling it Button. She completely ADORES Button. Its so sweet.

The One on Saturday the 13th
I haven't blogged since Tuesday.. wow... I am such a slacker, but its not like you're all missing anything. I wake up, I go to work, I go to lunch, I go back to work, I grab a snack, I go to work, I go home and eat, play games and shower, and I sleep. All in all, thats all I have been doing.
Victoria Secret is getting slightly better I think. It really sucks in the beginning because you know NOTHING!!!! But such is the life of a new job. What makes it worse is that no matter how much people tell you what to do, or no matter how much you look around, or browse around the website, you are not going to really do well until you suck it up and talk to the guest and wing it. I've been working closing all week and that usually means that I arrange the clothes and work at the register. Today I did an earlier shift so that meant that I actually had to help people find stuff etc. It being the weekend and all, ALOT of people came in. But I think I'm getting better. My manager was happy with me today cause I was helping a little girl get her first bra and I found her the "perfect" one after lots of trail and error, and her aunt who had brought her to the store in the first place was so happy that she went to the manager and gushed to her about how thrilled she was with my help, and so my manager was thrilled with me cause I was not screwing up, which is always a good thing.
My feet have been killing me. I can't stand non-stop on heels for more than 3 hours without doing some serious damage to them. Usually when I close I'm on my feet for about 3 hours, and I can close up wearing slippers. But since I was working the day shift today... no such luck. I bought a pair of shoes at the gateway today. They are platformed and the heel is slightly angled, but nothing as extreme as my 2.5 inch heels so I'm sure it will work out alot better for work.
See... all I talk about is work now.. how BORING can I possibly be????
I'm going to play games now.. maybe I'll have more fun stuff happening to me tmr!!!

The One on Tuesday the 9th
Lets see... I was superbly happy yesterday.. and then I felt superbly dumb... and then I freaked out to my room mate, and then I called my Mum and freaked out at her, and then she told me to calm down and she got my Dad on the phone, and he didn't tell me what an idiothead I was but was really nice and patient and gave good albeit scary advise. So I tried to execute that advise today, and it didn't work. So I'm going to try again tmr.
Anyway, VS... First day of work was, of course, orientation. We watched videos, filled out paperwork, took a tour of the store, and got some tips on being on the floor. That was only day one, and needless to say, as much as that information was useful, it was almost completely useless in helping me on my first day on the floor. Of course the first thing they made me learn was how to work the register. And I at least got that part figured out. I also know the whole "Do you want to put this on your Angels card" spiel, but I haven't learnt how to do voids and returns, and I really wanna learn that so I might get a manager to show me next time I'm there. I was pretty useless anywhere else and so I just stuck to the register, and arranging/straightening out the clothes. The hardest part of the straightening up was the panty tables. OMG they are soooo time consuming cause you have to check the size on everyone of them when one style gets messed up, and it didn't help that they all had sensors which meant stacking it was also really hard.
I also learnt today that when you are going to be standing for at least 4 hours, you do not want to be in heels because when the four hours are over, you cannot walk without limping. I'm gonna bring slippers to change to when the store is closed next time. When they closed the doors, everyone was peeling off the jacket and kicking their shoes off. I got the jacket part, because it can get pretty darn hot, but I finally understand the shoes bit. You would think that my experience with heels at the Gateway at PCC would have taught me a lesson. Apparantly, as we can see from day 2 at Victoria's Secret, Alexis has not learnt that lesson. Either that or she needs CONSTANT reminding.
Anyway, thats my very interesting beginning of the week. I can't believe I am working as much as I am, and the sad part is, I believe I can spend as fast as I earn. Anyway, my feet are killing me, and the chicken I am baking smells superb, and so I am going to eat, play Final Fantasy X2, take a shower and I'll see you all tmr.
Cheerios!!!

Well... lets see... I start working at Victoria's Secret part time on Monday, and I am on the schedule regularly at least 3 times a week, and I'm on call the other times... I work almost all day Saturday... which would suck so I'm hoping I will not have to work both the morning and evening shift on Saturday... and I also had to buy a black dress jacket for work because its part of the dresscode. I really wish I didn't have to spend the $120 but I didn't really have a choice. I'm consoling myself with that fact that I will be able to use the jacket for other occassions as well, not just at Victoria's Secret.
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" comes out in the theatre this November. In honour of me being a fan of Harry Potter, I went to get a copy of the "Goblet of Fire" from Walmart and I'm reading it again. I only got the little paperback version because I'm waiting for the entire series to be done, and then I'm getting the Collector's Edition of all the books...
Vain.. I know...
I can't wait to finish FFX2. I might have to start it all over again cause I wanna complete it 100%. And when that is done, I wanna play "Kingdom Hearts" cause there is already a sequal to it on Gameboy, and the PS2 sequal is also coming out in November...
All the good stuff comes out in November...
I'm gonna shower now... Laters!!!

The One on Friday the 5th
I just watched "The Island." I can safely say that it is SO MUCH BETTER than I thought it would be. All in all, I give a thumbs up. And if I were a movie critic, which means I would have seen it on opening night... which I didn't... which means I'm not a movie critic... anyway... IF I were a movie critic, I would say to go watch it. Scarlet is sooooo pretty. And I will say that Ewan is a good actor, but it is still Johnny Depp that is my acting "hero," if one can even call it that... Ewan can sing though, and I don't think that is one of Johnny's talents since I have never seen him sing in a movie... but Johnny is just soooo flexible...
Yeah, ok.. so that is me ranting about acting... anyway, I was suppose to go for my orientation today at VS, but there were short handed so my trainer has to work the floor instead of taking time out to train me. I start Monday... I'm starting to get nervous now cause she told me that I was on the schedule already, and though I'm excited, I'm hoping that they didn't schedule me to work like everyday...
There's a sales competition... sorta... at work. We have a new product coming up and we are going to see who can make the most sales. I take it that is management's way of making us happy and motivating us to work... strange thing is, I'm actually interested in this. I mean, I feel the PCC Reservations vibe that I use to have where I actally try to make the sales. I don't know why... and I don't really do anything except personalise an email to the 600++ distrubutors that were "assigned" to me, but at least I'm trying to get through the emails. I usually don't even get through a quarter of the stack, and this time I am almost done. I'm scaring myself.
I hate that I have to have a visa to remain in the US. It is such a handicap.
I'm going to play Final Fantasy now.
Yeah, ok.. so that is me ranting about acting...
anyway, I was suppose to go for my orientation today at VS, but there were short handed so my trainer has to work the floor instead of taking time out to train me. I start Monday...

The One on Thursday the 4th
I haven't really been that detailed in my blog recently.. oh well... here's something mundane that I don't mind sharing with the general public... so everyone knows that I'm an English major. Cole, one of the Doctors at my work came over and started asking me what I would like to see on the back of the FIT packaging, and I told him that I thought it should contain more instructions pertaining to the actual use of the product, and not give a whole company review, and he kinda nodded, and then he left the packet of FIT sitting on my desk, and he said it was a reminder so that if I remembered anything, I could jot it down and hand it to him. And the packet was sitting there for a while, and then I couldn't stand it anymore so I wrote a little blurp on what I thought should be on the back of the packet. This whole incident reminded me of college when we had assignments due, and the assignment would hang over my head until I couldn't stand it anymore, and I would do it just so that I wouldn't have to think about it anymore... hmm... now that I think abt it... I wonder if I was always like that...
OK.. so that was mundance, but I am going for my Hollisters interview today. I'm SO nervous... hope I get it. Cross my fingers XX.
