I had a special orientation for Dillard's today. (I had class yesterday so this woman came in on her day off and gave me the new-hire orientation) Donna, was a lot of fun. We had a good time exchanging horror stories of retail, I'm proud to say, I won. We were getting ready to end the day when she took me into this large office, with a few people I recognized, sat me down and offered me an internship with Dillard's! For real!!!!! She didn't offer it to me, but she asked me to apply for it. She said that the store manager, my department manager, the woman who interviewed me, and herself have all talked and want me to apply for it!!!!!!!!!! (At this moment I'm jumping in my seat with joy, but trying not to show it) She said they only ask 3 employees a summer to apply for it and I have to go through an interview process, but they really want me to apply. I would get college credit (!!!!!!), at least 40 hrs/week, and work directly with the store manager, in each department, the marketing and advertisement team, and get to work with the store manager in the home store!!!!!!!!!! This is my ideal job. I LOVE retail...i love commission....i LOVE fashion...and I wouldn't mind having some authority!!!!! I'm killer happy. I won't do this for the rest of my life, because it isn't a strong job (you don't make that much and you aren't promised your job). But for the summer, fuck yeah! fucking right! damn-mother-fucking-straight! I'm really happy!!!! wow.... ok...ttyl
