I do. MOST of the time. I LOOOVVVEEE the discount. I have fun with my co-workers. It pays (sadly) almost as much a month as my FULL-TIME teaching job.
Those are the pros...but..I am sure you know they are coming: there are cons:
Tues. night was New Line Night...in the Gymboree world, as I have lived first hand for the last year, that means 'nightmare night'. OK....maybe not 'Nightmare' but definitely unpleasant. This week it was ME and 2 (brand spanking) NEW girls. OY! Seriously folks, I was about to pull my hair out! One of the new ones will eventually be somewhat a supervisor to me (she is a Full Time Asst. Mgr.) It would seem that her personality is very hard to read...I am not sure just how much I ticked her off by gently (or not!) telling her when something needed to be done. Not that (unless you have lived it) you would understand, but we had TONS of stuff to move, hardware to set...all while servicing customers!!
*let me interrupt here by saying...OK...I realize that many of you are 'professionals' and I am a teeny bit embarassed that I now work retail...but Look at my Dad. And brother! Folks...selling runs in my blood!!! Don't belittle the mundane! I make sure little Susie & Bobby look good for preschool, people! LOL...*
Anyway, the afore mentioned manager simply did...not much. I was working my tail off (I wish!) and would find her standing behind the cash register~! Or better yet, at the front of the store STANDING there doing NOTHING! Frustrated much? YES. I hope next week is better. I hope this new lady is different than she seems...I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
I really do like my job. Mr. Roboto wishes I didn't have to work....but Shhh. Don't tell him I would work anyway! Thats what it comes down to. We need for me to work, but it had to be flexible now that the babes have come along...so I found a job that would work with our schedule and keep me content....Just so long as nights like Tues. night don't turn into EVERYNIGHT!
I guess thats all.....Thanks for reading..and leaving me little messages. Tammy...you are SO right about 'what is normal'!
Love, C.

I know...we've ALL been there! Luckily for you, you have a blog spot where you can decompress after a night like that. But, I think that's what makes the veterans (versus the useless newbies) a quasi-family there. The good thing is, we have each other to vent to, and just like you told me when I was ready to throw the towel in...you can't leave...I'd miss you too much! I hope you know the feeling is mutual about you. Hang in there sista'!
