(I imagine this is what it'd be like if I had a twin)
I think I've told you all before that I am very happy at my new job.
...Sure some days and weeks feel a little too long, and working with the public can grate on one's nerves...
But as far as work goes, this is the best it's been for me.
The people I work with are definitely a big part of why I'm enjoying what I do.
I feel like my boss allows us all to have a little autonomy while he's still in control (if that makes sense).
If it doesn't make sense, let me break it down... "he doesn't treat me like I'm stupid."
To me, that's a high form of respect
haha
I mean haven't we all had those jobs where we stand around thinking "wow, a monkey could do this"?
Well, this is not one of those jobs, but I'm still encouraged to make decisions for myself instead of following a set of generic rules.
I also have been given the skills to help the people who shop with us find things they will LOVE.
So do I get annoyed when someone tells me what they want, and then completely ignores my advice?
Heck yea I do!
... But hey live and let live...
Eventually, the difficult people come around to my way of thinking in the fitting room, and heed my previously given advice.
I restrain myself from jumping around screaming "I was right! I was right! I was right! SUCKKKAAAAA"
I love nothing more than having a customer leave our store with an awesome new ensemble he may not have chosen for himself in tow.
No, clothes don't make the man, but they can make the man look damn good.
I appreciate my customers. They help me learn something new everyday.
And are the reasons I can pay bills
The people I work with are fountains of knowledge (cheesey cliche noted) as well. They have been more than willing to share and help me succeed in this position. I mean this is a BIG company, and there is a lot to learn and know.
So... do I want to stay here for awhile? yes
do I want to get promoted and try new things? yes
am I happy where I am right now? yes
should you buy jeans (and everything) for your men at Nordstrom? YES ; )

"I restrain myself from jumping around screaming "I was right! I was right! I was right! SUCKKKAAAAA"
That sentence is going to cause me to laugh so very hard for the rest of the week/maybe my life..
A job I love.. oh I envy you right now. Wanna trade? How do you feel about working with eyeballs?
I'm really glad you like your new job! :)
xo
I used to work at Nordy's in BP :)
Pretty sure you should scream at them you were right!! :) This is great that you love your job!
What Nordstrom's do you work at...I'm always up for shopping for the men in my life:)
awwww rissy!! i love that you love work! you are so good at what you do and such a hard worker and i just know you're going to grow in your career! if i was a man, i'd totally fly to MD to have you dress me!!
It's the best feeling to love your job :) Cheers!
Oh - Fancy That.
there's so much i could say about this post, but all i can think about right now is how every damn time you do an outfit post or something of the same idea, i'm SO FREAKING JEALOUS of your hair.
just like i said on ashleys post, i LOVE that you love your job!!
so i parked my car at Nordstrom the other day (I so badly wanted to just type i parked my car in harvard yard)
anyway so i parked there and walked through the mens section to get into the mall and saw a steamy hot black guy with big diamond earrings trying on a really snazzy suit and thought of you! you are lucky my friend
isnt it nice to have the power of knowing what people will look good in!! YOU GO GIRL!!
xoxox
You're lucky you love your job.. I'm happy for you! :)
Good for you that you love your job- that is so nice (and rare) these days!
Isn't it amazing to love your job, and feel like a valued individual??? I worked for another company for a while, and while we were small, and I was helping to grow the company, I felt like I was a slave to the place, with no right to my opinion. Now, I work for a small company that appreciates its employees, respects our personal lives and free time, as well as our opinions and differences... love it! And I will now step off my soapbox :)
Hope you have a great night, doll!
