First Day By Myself

Yesterday was my very first day by myself and I haven't even finished training so I basically looked like a chicken with my head cut off running around in circles. But overall it was a blessing in disguise because I learned to just figure things out on my own or ask questions. Everyone I worked with yesterday was extremely helpful. I was assigned stock in the "Magic" Room which is basically all the frames, wedding stuff, ornaments, figurines, and home items. I had just had my stock training the day before (wednesday) and although that training day was my absolute favorite day of all I didn't learn much. My trainer paired up with her sister and her trainees, so there was 4 of us and 2 trainers. These ladies were the funniest people I have ever met. The most work I did all day was just laughing so hard my cheeks literally hurt. They knew everyone and everyone just loved them. I started at 5:30 am and we basically walked around the store put a few stuffed animals away, folded a t shirt, folded a towel then took some breaks. At 8:45 the new trading pins come out so of course we were first in line over there getting the newest and best pins. I got the cutest Dumbo pin and I was able to keep it all day! They were so nice too! She knew I was collecting the cupcake pins for myself and all day she made it her mission to find me one which she did! Overall it was my favorite day yet.

So yesterday was ok. Some parts were better than others. We would go from having nothing to do or having too much to do. And I spent almost my entire day running back and forth from the stock room with broken ornaments. I also went to the stock meeting which is everyday at 2:30 for a quick 5 minutes if you are able to go. They talk about little things that are going on and I knew the answer for almost every question the manager asked. So hopefully she noticed that and I can get on someones good side.

Now I am on to day 4 of my 7 day work week. Today is my last day of training and I will be able to take off my "Earning My Ears" tag on my name tag... but I think I will keep it on a little longer just so people are nice to me when I do something wrong.
