...It's been forever since I updated. But not too much has happened. Work is finally starting to go well. I'm finally getting the hang of a lot of stuff. I was allowed on the register this week, and I get to use my employee number next week so I can get commissions on some of the things I sell. Sweet. Apparently I suck at really simple things. Like bagging. You would think that it shouldn't be any trouble, but that's where you're wrong. The bags stick together, so sometimes I pull 2 off the tab, then opening them is more tricky than you would think. The humidity here has been ungodly, and plastic bags don't like that. Then there's the issue of making sure the items stand up in the bag. When you're trying to fit a lot of stuff in one bag, small vitamin bottles like to tip over...Yeah. I fail as a bagger. But restocking and reordering stuff, or preparing the extra money to go into the safe? I got that down pat! I'm a quick at reorganizing shelving to new company standards and I'm not shy, so I'm good with customers.
Today was hell day at work though. There weren't very many customers, so we didn't meet our regular sales' and OMS (One More Sale) goals. We're a really high profile store, so that looks bad. Lisa said she was expecting a butt load of calls tonight from her boss. I hope he doesn't yell at her too much. And THEN the internet went down. For ALL of the stores in the district. We couldn't look up discount cards, debit cards weren't working, we had to call a number to verify credit cards, and customers were starting to get really annoyed. Especially since the computer not only didn't have internet, it was running EXTRA slow for all of us. Joy. THEN it started POURING down rain, only in the way that it can in Pittsburgh. Guess who had to wait at the bus stop in that?
What's really funny is I'm now starting to get calls from some of the other places I applied to. It doesn't look like I'll be making quite enough money just at here, and I have an interview at Bath and Body Works next Friday. So wish me luck!! It'd be cool if I could do evenings and weekends there.
OH! UGH! The house that I've been living in was just sold. And because our lease says that the landlord can come into the house whenever they want, guess who has been? The new landlord. She made me and Jimmy move a ton of stuff from Emma's room so she could start storing HER things there, and she's ALWAYS HERE! She tries to be nice, but WE have the house until Aug. 1. Can you please NOT take up our space? She threatened to have someone's car towed because her contractors needed the space, and the tenant's name wasn't on the lease. There were 6 people living here, and only 3 are allowed to sign the lease. Really!? Not cool. It would be REALLY nice if she would just give us a week or two between visits. She put fans and dehumidifiers all over the place, and guess who's paying the electric bills? Not her. It's a really huge hassle and I'm tired of having my space invaded all the time. But there's nothing that I can legally do. It's bollocks, that's what it is!
