Work Sucks
Working at Nordstrom sucks. I have no support from my store management or HR team. I do, however, have a lot of support from customers and other employees. I think that is pretty darn sad.
So I am looking for a new job. I am going to start Real Estate classes in a couple weeks. (say what you want about Real Estate agents, I know I'd be a damn good one and wouldn't screw anyone out of sheer principal)
I am also probably going to start subbing for the Edmonds School Dist. as an educational assistant. I figure that has normal hours, and I would get summers/weekends and holidays off. Woo hoo!
I know I will miss Nordstrom, but what I miss when I'm not there are my coworkers and customers. I DONT miss the crappy hours, standing on my feet all the time, and the total lack of support and recognition from management. I remember having a great manager, and I remember when the store treated their employees well. Not anymore. Well, at least not MY store. It's really a shame. I used to love working there.
Anyway, so that's my life in a nutshell right now. Trying to figure out where I need to be and what I need to be doing. Lilo is great, she is getting bigger. She's the best dog in the world. I have decided that we got very lucky. She's also the cutest thing I've ever seen.
We are going to move. I need to start looking for rental homes, condos, townhomes, etc. (Hey Jody, how did you find your rental places?) It will be hard to find one that will take a cat and a dog, but I really don't want to stay on the 3rd floor of this apartment building anymore, and it would be nice to have a smaller, homier type of place to live, maybe with a yard for the dog. Yeah it's a lot to ask, I know.
Ok, I have to go clean the house and go Grocery shopping! My exciting life!
