First Day of Work Tomorrow!
Posted by Rachel on July 12, 2008
Tomorrow is my first day at Best Buy, I start at 8 and shift ends at 4, we have the morning meeting before we start, and then I have a day of learning! My uniform is a blue polo shirt with some tan coloured pants (trousers), the polo shirt is being ordered by Best Buy so until that arrives I am wearing a white polo shirt, we have to suply our own pants (trousers).
I cant believe how hard it was to find a white polo shirt of a reasonable pirce that wasnt skin tight! It seems that all female casual clothes are designed to be figure hugging, which I wouldnt generally mind, but for work, the were not suitable. I ended up having to buy a size large (and I am definatly not a size large).
I dont think I have ever spent a longer time in our local mall trying to find suitable work clothes! even the pants were not easy to find, there are so many different versions of the colour tan its unbelivable. I need a pant size that is inbetween regular and short, neither length fits correctly, so I have to but shoes with a heel which I was trying to avoid as Ill be on my feet alot. The pants I bought were in the last shop I went in, and I was about to give up, New York and Company had lots that might have been suitable, I finally decided and was about to get in line to check out, when I saw some hanging on the sale rack, I looked and found my size, they fit the best out of all the pants I tried on and although they are a little bit to long, a one inch heel works fine with them. The best thing about them the were marked for $36.95 to $8.00! so they were a bargain.
I did my volunteering today at the cat shelter, we had an English Lady come in, although her circumstances were sad, she had four cats that needed new homes and we couldnt help her as we are full and we can get in trouble with the counci if we have too many cats. she was very upset, and obviously having some troubles. I hope she can find a home for ther kitties. We had a new volunteer come in today too, she seems like she is going to be a hard worker, and very helpful to have around.
After the Cat Corner I came home and had a nap, I didnt want to sleep long, just long enough to feel refreshed enough to have a tidy up tonight and make rolls so I can take a packed lunch to work.
So now Im relaxing in front of a movie, Will has gone out, I stayed at home as I cant go to bed late tonight! Mellow is wanting to play with his toys, and is upset I am ignoring him, he is also upset that I took the moth outside that was chasing!

Congrats on the new job. I spent $200+ at Best Buy this weekend on computer equipment trying to resurrect a hard drive.
