Late Night Blogging

Why am I up at 3 AM you ask? Well, I was doing inventory at work and just got home. It's a long process, but when everyone is doing work, it can go by kind of quickly. Tonight was my second night doing it.

I worked in housewares tonight. My job tonight was auditor. We audited 8% of our merchandise, so after something had been scanned and uploaded, I needed to scan it again to make sure that the quantity was right and that all the UPCs matched up. It was fine until I got to cosmetics. Have you ever had to scan 90 eyeshadows? Then I had to try to make them look semi decent back in their cases. I didn't enjoy myself as much tonight as I did last night. We got out early though, so I can't complain.

Last night I worked up in intimate apparel. I scanned so many bras and panties, I had nightmares about it. My job last night was re-counter. We re-counted 20% of our inventory. Every 5th rack, arm, stand, shelf, etc. I had to physically re-count the items. Some were easy because there were only a few items. Others had 40. One box that I had to re-count had 97 panties. Oye. It was not fun. Well, that part wasn't. I did enjoy being there though. We all worked really hard, but we still had a fun time.

While I was talking to Elizabeth waiting to be able to re-count, she said she had something for me. She ran down to the office. It was an invitation to a career fair at the St. Paul store. Since I missed the one at our store, I am definitely planning on going to this one. It makes me feel really, really good that I am getting these opportunities.
