On a high...

For the last two weeks I've been learning all there is to know about my "new position" now all I need to do is sign the papers. I also had to do a styling test. Which is styling three mannequins and sending pictures to whom ever. I'm kind of getting annoyed with the whole process, actually. I honestly don't know what's going on and it's irritating. I expected them to tell me "you're going to be doing this for two weeks and then we'll start the paper work." But I always have to call to find out what it is I'm suppose to be doing.

This last week I've been shadowing the other merchandiser. So I was able to "help" style the display windows and other displays around the store. I went home sore everyday. It's a lot of physical work. I have to carry and lift a lot of things but I enjoy it. It's way better than being a sales associate. I'm kind of still on a high right now. Did I really just get promoted after only four months of working there?

"Happy, are those who Dream"

I didn't even have to ask. I went to work one day last week, covering a co-workers shift and I was asked to go to the office. I thought I was in trouble. I'd been late almost everyday that week. (The bus is no joke!) I thought I was finally about to get my first write up. I probably was overreacting though, it wasn't even my manager asking to see me, but still, you never know. My heart dropped when he asked me if I was interested in being a display merchandiser, at least I think that's the job title. Um, yeah I would!!

Simply put, I'll be styling the display windows. All I ever wanted to do. No more peasant work (what I call my sales position). I am getting a head of myself though. I still have to go through "training" and past a "test" to actually get the position, which is freaking me out! Knowing that I actually have to get tested makes me nervous because that means the job is not guaranteed. There's a possibility that I could fail. I haven't signed any papers yet. I'll be training all of this week starting today. *fingers crossed*
