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...
