First few days on the job

So I started work yesterday, and it went well, although a bit boring. Then again, I filled out paperwork, got my name on the register so I could clock in and out, and then I pretty much followed Lisa around while she made sales. I know almost nothing about what I'm doing. I've devoted the last 6 years of my life to classical music...in high school and college. This is a whole new ballgame. So yeah...Nothing happened really yesterday. Today I learned how to ring people up, how to check prices and label things. They're doing inventory tomorrow and Thursday, so today was mostly spent marking down items that are going to expire soonish. My seven-hour workday became a nine-hour workday because Lisa needed to finish up some promo stuff and didn't have time to really train me, so we made up that time today plus added some. And guess who made a $300 sale to her third customer? That's right. Then corporate came in and told Lisa that it was too soon to have me on register. Boo. I could really use those commissions! I also met a couple guys that I'm going to be working with. Chris seems really nice, although he's quiet. AJ is going to be a lot of fun to work with. I can see him and I getting along in the way Ryan Brock and I get along, bickering for the fun of it... And Bobby just seems like an altogether great guy. He and I clicked and I have a feelings he and I could become really good friends. So I'm really excited for this job. It's going to be hard, but it'll be worth it. And maybe I'll make some new friends from this.
