Good and Bad

Today was mostly completely and utterly awesome. I got hired at Borders, which is fabulous, and we picked up my engagement ring, which is beautiful. However, I also managed to COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT the book sale I had volunteered to help out with, thinking it was next week, as well as schedule myself to work during an event I'm supposed to be reading at that actually IS next Wednesday. Man, I suck. I'm awesome, but I suck. *sigh*

Which position at Borders?

Well, I am starting at the kiosk - which, you don't even understand, is completely awesome for me simply because there is a chair involved - but Amy said that one of the guys who interviewed me really likes me and wants to bring me over to the store asap. So hopefully that's what'll happen! :-)

You say awesome now. We didn't get a fucking chair the first time I did kiosk. We got yelled at if we were sitting down, not even by the Borders people but by the bitchy people that run the calendar company. Being in the store is way better, you can talk to people at least. I suggest bringing a small, easy to conceal notebook when you work kiosk so you can write. Not allowed to read (unless they changed THAT too!). Did you interview with Scott or Joel? Joel is the balding gay guy and he's older. Scott is kinda short, probably in his 30s and has a scruffy kind of beard. I really like both of them. Get on Joel's good side and you're pretty much set. And let me know when you guys get the Christmas time 40% employee discount, I'll give you a list of stuff and money >:D
