Out of respect for him and my private life, I'm not discussing things here. Sorry for those who hate the vagueness but that's the reality of the grown up world. As I've gotten older I've started to feel that the internet isn't a proper venue to discuss feelings that are, or could be as strong as a relationship can cultivate.
I got a job to keep myself busy (as if nursing school doesn't do a good enough job). I'm working at Victoria's Secret. I went in with my mom to get her a bra and it must have been the manager helping us. Here I was chatting away about the bra and how it works and she just looked up at me and said, "Do you want a job?" Within a day of turning in my application I had been interviewed, hired, and trained. My first official day on the job is Black Friday, 6am. Probably their busiest time on the busiest day of the year.
I'm taking every experience and applying it to nursing school. I'm supposed to sell 2 credit cards per shift (at least). I hate that. I hate that person and I don't want to be that person. But then again, I'm going to have to talk to families about organ donation and that's a hard topic to bring up, so I should be able to talk about credit cards right? And to do that I have to build a quick rapport with customers, something that's vitally important in the nursing world as well. So, as I see it, this can only benefit my skills as a nurse...in an odd way it's true.
Happy Early Thanksgiving. Hope your lives are filled with love and happiness this holiday season.njmmmmmmm; (<--Penny says hi)
