Yes, Virginia, Retail Doesn't Always Suck.

How does a Friday night not be a total crash-and-burn situation?

When you work high-end retail, dress a bit edgy and quirky, and can rock out to California Girls while singing out loud when you think the last of the customers have left for the evening and sound decent.

Using the lyrics to Geek and Gamer Girls.

Cred point.

And get overheard by the group of teenagers leaving with their ride [the last ones in the building, shopping with Mom] and get a sincere round of whistles and high-fives for actually knowing the song PERIOD.

Double cred.

Even better?

Having the mom that was with them compliment my baby-blue nail polish and ask where I got it when she figured out where they were.

And having her tell the manager on duty on the way out that they need a few more nice young ladies like me on staff afterwards.

Some days it's WORTH going to work.

Smiles All Around, As Well As A Chapter On The Way

I got a new bedroom set! I got a new bedroom set!

HEE!

We got everything in the picture except the media chest in the back and the mirror. We didn't need the mirror and didn't really need the media chest, although it would have been nice to store the DVDs in. I just don't think there's enough space. Oh! But we got a second nightstand. So excited!

The only bad thing?

We need to gut out the bedroom completely before next Saturday.

I only have one day off before next Saturday myself.

I may have to see if I can get someone to take a shift for me Friday or Sunday.

But YAY! New bedroom set after 10 years! WOOT!

          Sorry it's late guys! Furniture buying this morning and I need to add a little more detail to a scene just so it felt richer. I hope you all really enjoy this one. :D
