It’s my perogative.

OK, I think we can all safely say, that after working in a ladies fashion boutique fulltime for a few weeks, I am not a salesperson at heart.

My feet never stopped hurting, I was never really overly impressed with the pay and after my run in with “B” well… we all know how that went.

In the meantime, I got a call from the agency that had my resume on file but was struggling to find me a position that offered both the pay I wanted and the hours I wanted.   My agent, let’s say “H”, called to inform me that she had found a position that she was pretty sure was perfect for me, and that I was ideal for them.

Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, I agreed to interview with them… today! I didn’t want to jinx it by posting about it before the interview and good thing too, because I got the job!

I’m MUCH happier with the hours, permanency and pay and I found the people in the office to be extremely pleasant and they seemed to get my sense of humour (always a bonus.)

I don’t start for a few weeks so I’ll continue to work for the boutique if they need me until then. I may even continue to do the odd shift here and there because I did really like the people in the shops near me and it gets me a 40% discount on clothes!

Boy… when it rains, it pours!

    Congrats on the new job!
    Ah, at least you tried retail, and now you know what it’s like, and great discounts!!

    Yes, I’ll definitely miss the discounts but the leap in pay will make up for any extra I need to pay at the counter…lol
