Work Life - Day and Night

Can you believe that I was hired at Gap since July 6th? That means I've been working at Gap for almost a month now! Isn't that great?!

Testing the waters of my professional expertise in merchandise, customer service and of course my selling abilities is incredibly invigorating, but still very frightening. Approaching a customer isn't my concern, it's engaging, relating, and persuading them that are my issues.

And yet, my efforts are exceptional. Especially as a new employee.

I met a girl today who at first glance looked a bit stuck up, but is one of the sweetest girls ever. I never thought we would click like we did. Then again, as long as you aren't taller than me, we'll get along right away, even quicker if you're around my height! Taller people are slightly intimidating.

It's pretty interesting (and we know how much I love using that word) how fast time goes by. I've been working all week except yesterday. Tomorrow, thursday, friday, and saturday I'll be working like a bumble bee. Sometimes I don't understand how this Gap place could be such a big part in the lives of my managers, some of whom are there so much, they wear the same pants 3 days in a row because it saves them times in the morning trying to figure out what to wear.

I love Gap. My other sales associates are really, really great to work with.The location is great (not the trip, just the location, hahaha), a couple of my managers are great, and so is my discount.

I'm unfortunately missing caribana this year though... working a 9hr shift that day! I still have the chance to go out that night if I want to, but I'll prbably be too tired. And I MIGHT be working the next day, haha, which would mean I worked a total of 6 days straight! Oh, 5 actually, without yesterday.
