Today was a very well lived day. I went to my second job and it went by faster than I thought. I must say retail is very, very strange and I can't wait to have the season end. But who knows? It might get better. It's just very weird to stand around a store and try to help people. Like do they want to be helped? It's not like at my first job where helping them makes "more sense" because the brands are more specific and the products are more "technical." How "technical" and what "features" and what "purposes" and what "results" do clothes really have?! It's very weird. I mean, I haven't learned cash yet. I am trying to familiarize with what we have and everything but yeah... I mean, damn. I guess I stand around and try to help people. I want to get good at this, but it is very awkward. My manager says I should make more eye contact. Because I say hi but walk away fast and drift by. I should stop, say hi, look into their eyes, build a rapport. But damn. Uh, okay fine. On the bright side, I should say hey, this is only my second shift. If there's anything I've learned from having six previous jobs before this, things take time. So give it time. I hope Monday goes okay as well.
I got to go home earlier than anticipated today because the store wasn't as busy as expected. On the bright side, Tita Dinah and I got to go see a play together that I am using as a resource for my precis! And we got to go there before the snow and when we left the theatre, it wasn't snowing yet! If we had gone home right away afterwards, we would have so beat the snow! But no, we went to our usual little bar and ate. The food was great and the prices even better :p How kind of her to pay for our meals. When we got home, the snow was really coming down and I drove her to her place. It was quite scary. I had never driven in so much snow before. I had to go very slowly and it was very hard to see. At one point, the car was slipping and I hit the curb! I think it was just the wheel because I didn't see any damage on the car or scratches or anything. But I got home in one piece.
It's a perfectly beautiful feeling to know I have no plans on Sunday! But to do homework and study. I honestly can't wait to have one job again. I really suck at retail. But this is extra dough. I am so used to Pearlon. Going there never makes me anxious. It is a second home even :p But my new job, as with all new jobs takes getting used to and still makes me nervous/anxious. Oh well...it's still an experience to say the least! I can definitely say though that the people are awesome! Ah, I feel nice for the most part...
