Work ventures

So I haven't updated about the work situation in awhile. That's because there really isn't anything to update. Basically I am playing the waiting game. I am waiting until the holiday season starts and I can apply to be an SSA. Let me tell you, I need it. Bad. Money is insanely tight. And with needing to move out sooner rather than later. Yikes is all I can say.

I have a good shot at getting it. I dunno how much more money it will bring me, but hopefully I can count on it. Like I said, that will lead the way to bigger opportunities. Did I hear someone say, "manager"?! That would be so awesome. One of my co-workers said she would hate it. She couldn't handle dealing with the crabby customers. I love it though. I have had to save a couple associates when a customer has gotten mad at them. It's weird. I like being the one to calm them down and figure out a solution to the problem. It's fun! Haha! We have started having SSAs for big sale days and I was asked a couple weeks ago if I wanted to do it. I would have loved to, except that I had big plans that night (NKOTBSB, baby!) so I couldn't. It's a good sign though that they want me to! :)

Work was awesome today. We started inventory today. I wasn't doing it today, but I work the overnight shift tomorrow. WOO HOO! Anyway, it's important that we get things from other departments back to their homes, so I went on a little adventure and took care of that today. There were a pair of jeans that had been in our department forever. They weren't ours, so I went to drop them off in men's. I was told they didn't belong there either. The Levi specialist had never even seen that style. So off to the loss prevention office I went. As I was heading back to my department, I noticed the associate in another department had quite the line, so I jumped in and helped. Not only that, but I got the customer to open a Macy's card! It was awesome! To make it even better, one of the managers saw the whole thing. At first I freaked out because I thought for some reason, I may get in trouble. I have no idea why I thought that, but that was me being paranoid. Nope. Just the opposite. She was impressed with me! Unfortunately, the credit for the Macy's card won't go toward my scorecard because I was nice and rang under the other associate's number since she helped the woman. BUT, I can deal with that. I'll make up for it next week.
