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!!!
