I feel so accomplished LOL. 7 hours of work no break and no lunch (voluntary). So bascially I arrived 9:55 am, got the 'grand tour' from Mr. Christopher Ruff (Assistant Manager) and Naomi (Co-worker) which wasn't so grand because I wasn't even told where the washroom was. This lady comes up to me while I'm taking down overstock and asks me where the washroom is...I open a closet the first time. LOL. So then I'm told by Jesse to go downstairs; door locked. Went to Chris, found another door, hidden behind a shelf.
Overstock is...a simple enough job. Take down the baskets and fill any gaps on the shelves with the appropriate products. Except when you're small like me and are standing on the very last step of the ladder with your hands full, overstock will always be an adventure. 8D
I dropped two canvases, couldn't find the sticker gun where I left it (Joyce took it away) and some things just wouldn't fit in their proper place so you have to climb back up and put them back.
Most of the time, after re-stocking is complete, it's cleaning the store (I found a coffee cup and loads of wrapping and other shit), helping customers (sometimes they ask for REALLY weird things) and 'facing' which is turning all the bottles so that the label is facing towards you.
The other employees were very nice and patient towards me (considering I never left them alone with all my questions), Jesse's one of the more experienced workers (4 years) and he went to Sheridan for a few years so we talked about College while cleaning up the pencils; he's in OCAD now though, and he draws all sorts of odd ink caricatures of the other workers and sticks them on the lockers. But they're REALLY good. He measured all our heads...for why, I'll never know. Richard's the framer, Joyce has been working at DeSerres for about 3 years I think but she's really knowledgeable, Naomi's been there forever according to herself, Andrew I met very briefly and Scott's terribly nice despite my first impressions and I got to chat for a while with him. Apparently, all of them dislike the people living on Spadina. O_o; (Even though Jesse and Andrew are Asian....)
But yeah, work was good. I'm looking forward to going back. I love the cute aprons we get. Haha.
Oh my gosh. I went through...two movies today. Thank you Cherry, it's all your fault. So...Mudge Boy, and Edge of Seventeen (the most of it). Mudge Boy was so, so very disturbing. Even though I knew about that thing that would happen to Chicken (LOL that sounds funny) oh god, I cringed when it did. It was a pretty interesting movie despite the quirks. It's odd but refreshing for me to see a rather big name actor in an independant film like this. Especially one that deals with homosexuality. But I LOVE it when that occurs.
Edge of Seventeen; I didn't see the ending. But it's sort of a lighter movie and that was good after Mudge Boy. The sexual stuff between Eric and Rod in the beginning were kind of....sudden though?
Okay, so now I have to talk about
As the World Turns,
which I've become SOOO obsessed with as of an hour and a half or so ago. Well, with the later episodes from about 2005-2007 'cause that thing's been going on since the 50s. Watching parts of A Home at The End of the World (another LGBT film with Collin Farrell) I saw this clip, on the sidebar Youtube has (the Related Videos I think) and it said "
Luke & Noah's story - ATWT - Part 41 - THE KISS". Apparently, this was the first American teenage same-sex kiss on day-time television. O_O; Click it...only if you have very strong will power. And this user uploaded the parts of this freakishly long drama that only related to Luke and Noah; basically their storyline. And what's cool is that you can watch only these parts without getting too confused about the plot, which is awesome. I didn't watch it from Part 1 because I was too caught up in the latest episodes. Gah! Brian and Justin look out, I think I've got a new favorite TV series couple. (GOD that sounded really geeky) I want more....;_; Bless the person that uploaded those clips. I need to watch the earlier clips. XP
