    Those are the pros and cons of work ;)
    I wish I could get a real job now. Driver's License and maybe a car are getting closer and closer but how things are now I wont be able to get a car :/ and since i'm a spoiled brat I want one so badly xD but well I cant get a job in economics without a valid graduation >.> guess I'll have to wait for it.
    You are lucky! My parents rearrange the living room, kitchen and the shower about 2 times a week... it's really annoying because they're changing more every time.. In a year the living room will be located in the shower, and the shower in the kitchen, if it goes on like this :P

    We have a few workers known as "hosts" whose main purpose is to help customers find everything. Unfortunately, these hosts are rarely seen, so customers ask me where something is and I can't answer. I try to walk the aisles a bit at the beginning of my shift to see what changed, since I get into work when the remodeling is finished for the day.

    Business has been slow at my store, but that's because it's the middle of the month. I work in a grocery store, so the biggest time for business is the beginning of the month when people get their government help for paying for food. Though the holiday season is coming up, so I'll be even more busy in two weeks' time because of Thanksgiving.

    Fortunately, my house never got a surprise rearrangement. My parents are way too set in their ways, so once a room is set up, it stays that way for years.

    :P That's pretty messed up though. Wouldn't it be pretty hard to sell people stuff if you don't know where it is xD?
    It's just like the situation at home, when you live with your parents. You finally find out where you can find everything and then BOOM! Dear Mother decides to re-order everything and it's nowhere to be found again....

    Messy! The store I work at is getting a complete remodel and everything is moving around the store, so I don't know where anything is. I don't have to work today, which means that when I go in to work next, there'll be so many changes that I don't know what's going on.

    :) yeah, and since I hear people about how you are all looking down upon us, I wanted to show that it's not true. And besides that it never hurts to have friends right? ^^

    That's cool! It's a great idea to talk to us on a "normal level" so people can get to know all sides of us staff members. It's also fun for us, and I know that I always appreciate a random friendly VM. :)
