OK.... To begin with I've been working retail (clothing) for the past 2 years (almost)
The only good part of this job is the merchandising of new product. Otherwise I have to deal with random irate customers, smile like I like them, clean up after idiots who throw things on the ground, and be on my feet for 8 hour shifts.
Today was my first day at my second job (note I said second job, not new, I am still working retail), it is a seasonal position (which means I have it for 8 weeks). I am working at a mortgage/loan office as what turns out to be a receptionist-type position, where I am answering phones (all I have to do is find out where they need to go and transfer them). I get to sit at a desk and do data entry, but I am also now stuck in a half cubicle (where I can hear the conversation of the other people across from me).
But somehow I have ended up talking to random, sometimes irate, people at both jobs. I hate people, no let me rephrase that, I love people, but I hate talking to them randomly, I like predictability. How in the world did I manage to make it so that for the next 8 weeks I am working 7 days a week talking to random people at work? I spent most of the day today terrified that I was going to screw up. I also hate phones, I loathe phones, I detest phones.
Eh, I can do anything for 8 weeks, right?
