Part-Time Job #1 down...

[lillian13]

...I have put in my quit notice at the electronics store. I asked for part-time work; they give me 29 hours. Working almost 70 hours a week was not in the game plan...Sunday is my last day there; I'm applying at both Barnes & Noble and Borders next week. (Seriously, I was supposed to get off at 9 Monday night. Walked out the door at 10:30. At least I got out earlier tonight.)

I'm really starting to get the hang of the POS P.O.S., and I'd forgotten how much I actually like working retail. I know, I'm a freak. :-)

ArmadilloCon was excellent, sales-wise. It always cracks me up when other jewelers complain about their sales at SF shows. Let's see. I make interesting-but-still-wearable-to-work stuff out of fossils, minerals, and interesting stones, I change my inventory as I add new skills to my repertoire, and all my necklaces and bracelets are made to be worn by adults (20"-24" necklaces, 9" bracelets). Golly, I wonder why I sell well there?

I saw ltlj and alfreda89and aaron_allston, bought a couple of birthday presents for the niece, and talked to lots and lots of people I only see at these things.

SPN fans, see that tropical storm DEAN will become a hurricane soon and should head for the Texas coast? Did anyone else giggle?

It was good to see you. It's great to hear you did well sales-wise at the con.

I hope the jobs get straightened out soon.

Well, I'd say it was excellent to see you too, but you haven't outed yourself to me. :-)

Sorry it was a dud. At least you know what you're in for at B&N or Borders. If you applied at the Arboretum B&N give me a shout - I know both managers quite well from our Bookstop days together (both excellent people!) and they're both Gullett moms now (how weird is that? None of us lived in this neighborhood twenty years ago) and my name won't get you thrown through the front window or anything. Any interest in BookPeople or is tht just too long a slog? Good luck!

BTW One of the things I like best about your work (other than it's lovely!) is that I know I'm not going to fall in love with something only to find it would literally choke me Glad it was a good show.
