first day of work at DJs

Unlike other first days (like my first day for Woolworths when I wanted to cry at the end) first day at DJs was pretty good. I still know absolutely nothing, but the people who I was working with (of who a lot have variations of the name 'Anna' - Anna, Anne, Anna) were absolutely lovely in helping me out.

I pulled an extra long shift today cause they asked me to stay back until close. I didn't really mind cause the work isn't too stressful, or physically challenging. We are supposed to go up and greet customers though - something that we HAVE to do.

Problems I had:
*Where are all the barcodes?!
*Which keys open what case?
*The printing thingy stuffed up.
*I have absolutely no clue where anything is
*Please, please help me.

Sales I made! (Not all listed, these are the big ones I remember):
*$160 watch - I got moved to jewellery after spending like 10 minutes in watches.
*$400 Dior sunglasses - these are absolutely GORGEOUS ... but a little out of my price range :)
*$400 worth of Armani jewellery. A mother bought it as a Christmas present for her daughter.
*$350 Prada sunglasses. A guy bought this for his girlfriend. I wish someone would buy me things like that ...
*$1170 - necklace and earring set.

It felt cool touching all that expensive stuff though ... knowing that never in a million years will I be able to spend that much money on jewellery, least of all sunglasses.

Hopefully childrenswear will be similarly enlightening. Ladies fashion is supposed to be really draining and I have an 8hr shift on Friday! The good thing that came out of today is that my manager promised me more shifts in accessories next week ... work, yay!

Wow, go Donna. I'm green with envy.

I was with Gugu and Nicky in the city last week and we spent ages staring at all the food in the DJ food court. Mmmm....handmade $190/kg chocolates anyone?

Good luck with manning all the different sections!
