I have a new job! I will be working at a Calendar Club kiosk in Oakridge Shopping Centre. My boss, Cheryl, hired me on the spot. She said I was "classy" and "awesome." I have to agree with that. Never argue with your boss.
She is opening a kiosk tomorrow. I will be helping her set it up tomorrow and working there for a few days while she gets a store up and running at the same mall. She is considering putting me in management there. It's going to be fun. Exhausting, but fun.
It takes me about 40 minutes to get there on the bus. The Oakridge Shopping Centre is a high-end mall. There will be high sales volume there, based on Cheryl's past experience, and if I manage the store, there will be bonuses also.
I will be working a lot of hours for the first two weeks to get everything up and running, but, after that I can decide how much I want to work. It's just so exciting. My sister is going to apply for a job with Cheryl also and that would be just about perfect, if we could work together.
The mall is great. I've been there twice already and the people working there, like security and maintenance are so nice. There is a store there, Monte Cristo Jewellery, where the door is locked and you have to buzz to get in. I'm assuming most customers have appointments. They probably don't let anybody else in unless they look like real money. La-di-dah. Look out Prairie Crocus, you'll be mixing with the rich and pretentious!
I had a stroll through the Birk's Store and tried on a couple of rings. Sapphire and diamonds. The least expensive one was $2000. Not that I'll be able to afford anything like that. But I can dream, can't I? Even a cat may look at a queen.
Happy Thanksgiving to all friends and relatives. Take care.
