Eric (not my roommate Eric) emailed me today to tell me that I have $2500  that I can take out of my Roth IRA to put towards my credit cards. So basically now I can pay off one credit card and put the $100 I usually put towards it each month towards another one to get another one paid off. It is going to take me forever to get these paid off, but I ( Read more... )

Ok, so here's a quick rundown of what has happened this past month or so that I didn't update...

* There are only two manager now in my store, Jamie and I. We work well together because we have both been trained about the same amount and want to move up, so we are both real hard workers. Because there are only two of us, I work 2 stretches a week ( Read more... )

Well, work has been pretty interesting the past week or so. Rick is not leaving, and neither is Ryan, so now we have a store manager, 3 asst. managers, and a keyholder. Rick has been on vacation this past week, and it has been fun working with Jamie and Faith. They were both weird at first because I guess Rick told them that they didn't really have ( Read more... )

Sunday was a long day for me. I worked 10-7, and because it was so slow I was able to finish the mens floorset, even though we're not supposed to do it when the store is open :). When I got home I found out that Melissa had only taken one carload of stuff, and probably had about one more carload left. We waited till about 9:00, then called Eric, ( Read more... )

I worked my second day at Mont Mall on Thursday. I had a couple of visitors, Kristen and Rachel, which made me happy. I have been feeling kinda down the past few weeks, and just feel out of touch from everyone. I know that it's mostly my fault, but now I'm just figuring out my next step.

I worked at Fair Oaks the past two days because Erin, the ( Read more... )

Monday was my first day at Mont Mall. It actually went a lot better than I was expecting. I got to work in the back and talk to Rick, the store manager, for the first couple of hours. We talked about a lot of things, from his management style to what we watch on tv. I think I am gonna really like everyone I am working with, just Rick seems pretty ( Read more... )

Monday is my first day at Mont Mall!!!!!!!!!!!! For real this time!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sad to leave Tysons though because of all the great people I've been able to work with. It will be weird when I go to Mont Mall because I'm so used to where everything is at Tysons and know how everything is done there. But the commute is gonna be sooooo much nicer! ( Read more... )

I go to Mont Mall on the 23rd! Well, at least that's what I'm told. Aparently I'm not approved to go there yet, whatever that means. If it doesn't happen, I might go to Lakeforest or Wheaton and see if I can transfer. Or I might even go to work at PacSun at Wheaton. I helped out the Dulles store the past two days, and that store is so gross! They ( Read more... )

Yep, still at Tysons Corner. It's super weird there now because there is a new store manager and another assistant manager working with me now. It's just weird because I have been there for 6 weeks, and I'm like the expert of Tysons Corner now. The new store manager, Melissa, is just non-stop when she works on the floor. She comes off as a bitch at ( Read more... )

Ok, so I think I am getting a little closer to moving to Mont Mall at Aero. Erin and Mike, the other two managers that I work with at Tysons, are leaving to go to Fair Oaks in 2 weeks. I am pretty sure I will be leaving then as well because Chris, my DM, is trying to figure out who to put at Tysons right now. I know she has a store manager and an ( Read more... )
