New Job.

So today I went to the Bed, Bath and Beyond where my roommate (well, soon to be roommate) works. We were going to look around and figure out decor for the apartment. I talked to the store manager and told him my skills, and he hired me on the spot to come work there.
SO. I put my 2 week notice in at Lowes and as of October 25th, I will be a C.S.A. over at the Harbison Bed Bath and Beyond.
Great hours, good pay, AMAZING discount (20% off all merchandise, including all clearance. Plus we can use as many coupons as we want on a transaction. Plus we get up to 50% off plus as many coupons as we want during Christmas sales). Between myself and my roommate, our apartment will look amazing.

I was really starting to get unhappy at Lowes. Especially with management changes and attitudes of the people around me. My store manager treats all the employees like we are nothing but replaceable bodies. So this was my chance to move into something that will make me happier, it will also be around merchandise that I'm more familar with. An unexpected positive.

In the past month I've gotten an apartment and a new job. School is going to be totally different from Midlands Tech starting in January. It's all really awesome and I'm really excited. God is awesome.

Funny little side story- I wore a dress and heels today because I had a meeting to go to, and because I knew i was taking the chance of maybe talking to the manager at BBB........so i walked into work today in the dress and heels- Everyone freaked. They are used to seeing me in jeans, old shirts and sneakers with my hair up in a bun.
They were like, "OH MY GOSH DID SOMEONE DIE? WHY ARE YOU DRESSED UP LIKE THAT?".
One of my guy friends approchached me from behind and thought I was a customer until i turned around.
Quite hilarious....his words were...."Damn, I didn't realize you had a body like that".
Then it got totally awkward and I felt very uncomfortable, so I put my work clothes on and shoved the dress in my locker. lol.
Everyone acts like I'm a total sloth/tomboy. So silly. I love to go out and i love to look dressy. I AM A GIRL, PEOPLE! I have all the parts for pete sakes.

Anyway. So....interesting day, but in a good way. It's going to be weird working in Harbison. I'm not used to the traffic and the hussle. PLUS living downtown?! Wow....country girl from the backwoods is going city.

The more I get to know my roommate, the more awesome she becomes. I am SO thankful to have been matched with someone that I have this much in common with.
