how much do I *love* my new job???

whole bunches!!!!!

Okay -- for those of you who know me... how much fun would it be for me to have a job where I get to talk about scrapbooking and play with paper and stickers and ribbon and make scrapbook page layouts allll day long???


TOO MUCH FUN TO BE LEGAL. That's all I can say.

So that's the grand upside to my new job! The grand downside to it is the pay :( It is minimum wage plus commission. Unfortunately the commission is not linked to every single item in the store, only selected ones... and the commission disappears almost completely if that select item is on sale...

for example...

on Wednesday at one point, I served a woman who had chosen 200 something of the sale papers... (which I have to scan one at a time and change the price of each sheet to 20 cents!!) and that happens to be one of those items that I receive no commission for.... so you can imagine how much fun that was... and the rub of salt in the wound was that the very next lady I served had over 125 papers... oy vey.


But all in all I'm really enjoying myself -- the gal who is training me is a really nice gal and is also a Christian. We hit it off right away and she's been great in teaching me all I need to know.

The sad thing is that I'm training in the Delaware store but I've been hired to work in the Beechwold store -- which for me is closer, but I will certainly miss the cool folks who work at the Delaware store!! I don't know when the new store will open (I've been told sometime in February?)... so watch this space to see what happens once the new store is open!
