Hey everyone!!
It's Monday!!
Usually on this day I sleep in till
1pm and do sod all.
Not today!!
Nope I had another early morning and
now I'm soooooooooooooo tired.
You know I said I was dead
yesterday??
Double that!!
Ney
Triple it!!
I have to literally hold my eyelids
open in order to stay awake!!
Ok so I'm exaggerating but I am
pretty tired.
Anyway...
This was me earlier today after my
first day at my new job.
Remember a while a go when I
mentioned going for an interview??
Well...
I got the job!!
I know I'm just as surprised as you
are. I must admit at one point I honestly didn't know whether I would get it or
not, after about a week or so I thought I definitely didn't get it. A couple of
days later I received a phone call telling me I got the job!! I think I was in
shock more then anything because I didn't think I would get it. At first I
didn't realise who it was on the phone until I twigged. I am now the new sales
advisor for the Oasis
concession in my local Debenhams!!
Obviously when I got the phone call I was suffering with my viral/cold thingy,
so it would be a while before I would start. I waited for over a week and I
started to feel about nervous, so I thought I would go and hunt down the Oasis manager.
I popped in last Monday and finally I felt a sense of relief. I was to start
next Monday (today) at 10am until 2pm!! Finally I knew what I was doing so I
went away and enjoyed my week. I wasn't at all nervous yesterday as it's the
same environment that I've been used to for 6 months. Monday morning comes
around and although I get out of bed 5 minutes later then usual, I was ready on
time and out the door. Thankfully my Dad was off so he was able to drop me off;
but there was soooooooooooooo much frigging traffic that I got to work with 5
minutes to spare. While I was putting my stuff in the locker I heard the
announcement, 'The time is now 10 o'clock the store is now open'. I swore and
then ran down to the ground floor as quickly as I could. Unfortunately Amy my
supervisor was running late so I had absolutely no idea what to do. My morning
did start off bad, as my manager came up to me and had a go because I applied
for the Oasis
job without telling her. I get her point but the way she attacked me and did it
in front of everyone isn't on. AHHHHH!! Anyway Amy arrived and she was really
nice and friendly and not at all what I was expecting. We went down to the
office and did some paperwork which is always the boring part. We weren’t there
too long as the Warehouse supervisor had to use it (it's literally a cubby
hole). Back on the shop floor we got to know each other and basically served
customers, size ordered, tidied up etc. Later we finished off the paperwork and
started to move some of the fixtures around. Before I knew it, it was 2pm and
time to go home. With Oasis (as well as other concessions) you get a uniform
allowance, which you use to purchase clothes to wear on the job. At Red Herring we don't have
that (that's why I wear Topshop and Primark); so this whole uniform thing had
to be explained several times to me. I picked up the Swan
Print Ruffle Blouse and the Dark
Wash Jessie Jegging. Obviously not usually my style but I have to learn to
dress girly for work. So now I have two jobs in the same store but opposite
each other...confusing!!
To the outfit...
I know this looks highly familiar
(yes it looks like the one I wore to the interview); but I wanted to wear Oasis and this
is the only 'non evening' item I own. This skirt is so hard to put with items
of clothing; but I think the harder part for me is the cardigan. I usually wear
my black one if I can't think of anything else to wear; but I thought that
would just look weird with this skirt. Because of that I needed to find a top
that matched this cardigan. I thought about a plain tank top; but the white
would look...well to white and the black wouldn't go either. And then at one
point my brain clicked and I thought of this H&M
top. It had worked so well when I layered it in a previous outfit, so there is
no reason for it not to work now. I think the green leaves within the pattern
helps connect it to the khaki well. The tops base colour is an off white but
not quite cream, which makes matching it with this skirt perfect. Overall this
outfit came out better then I could have hoped. With a pair of flats (they're
so slippy) and some gold chains for a more me look. Always need to layer on the
jewels.
God what a busy weekend I've had!!
I'm hopefully out tomorrow and then
I'm trying to figure out what day to have home. Ideally I would like all week
but unfortunately that's not going to happen.
Hermit time??
Not yet!!
