So, let's just discuss my last couple days which will also is the reason to why I have a massive diet coke next to me, desperately trying to keep me awake before my next 4 hours of classes...
Last weekend at work, I was told that we were having a big visit at the store, meaning some upper management was coming to tell us the things we do wrong and ignore the things we do right. In order to prepare for this, we had to do some serious cleaning and straightening. So Sunday night, I had to work for a couple hours and make sure the clothes were in the right size order and full and beautiful and tags tucked, etc. Yes, you too could have these skills if you worked retail.
Theeeen, I originally had monday off, but my friend called me and was sick and needed me to cover her shift. So, I go to work from 10-6 on Monday and spend the entire 8 hrs refolding denim, which if I do say so- I rock at folding jeans. So if you have a closet of jeans, I can make them beautiful. I know, impressive.
I also had Tuesday off originally, buuut, because of our new to-do list, I went into work after class and worked 3-midnight. I spent my night refolding the rest of the denim, mopping, and stressing for the visit.
Wednesday (Today) was the big visit day, I had to be at work at 8 am, after not going to sleep until 1 am and then getting up at 645, because apparently corporate people would prefer you to shower... So, yeah I was tired. So Mr. Vice President of company rolls in with some other people and they spend about an hr in the store, and for most of that hr, Mr. VP is on his cellphone not even discussing our store and then they head out. The entire time I was ringing customers so I couldn't even give him my memorized speech of my responsibilities and contributions. So, yeah. No freaking big deal.
Basically, I'm really tired and I have blisters from denim.. not actually.
I know that this was way more than you wanted to know about job and most of you guys are pretty jealous because your life is not this exciting. Off to class. Peace.

Oh the WONDERFUL life of working at the TCP!!! However, I do think that its really cool that the VP actually came this time. I bet the store looks awesome, I can just picture everybody freaking out. HAHAHA I miss it. Tell everyone hi for me. That is if you all have not forgotten me.
Oh my gosh Whitney! I would be furious. All the girls worked so hard. I was only there a day, where I scrubbed the counters, and cleaned the dirty registers, but I did nothing compared to all the other girls. I hate when big wig people come..It such a stress.
Sorry, I didn't realize that Shantae was signed in. That was my last comment.
Whit! I know how you feel! This happens to us all of the time when upper management comes in. We don't have to spend hours folding denim, but we do have to make sure our desks are clean and the agents don't surf, etc. You are so dedicated and such a great resource for TCP. They are so lucky to have you! I think that if the Mr. McManagerson had seen this post, or had known the hard work you put in, he would definitely thank you. You are a great example!
