Flist! I need your expertise. Has anyone ever worked in a Bath & Body Works, Toys 'R Us, or just a medium-to-large sized mall? I have a few questions about uniform/scheduling/policies/etc ( Read more... )

OH DEAR GOD I NEED TO FINISH MY FANMIX FOR BBB SOON. /o\

And I'll warn you right now that I'm entirely socially awkward, even on the internet, but I'm up for talking anytime! I'm wentzyourfence on AIM.

ME TOOOO. I'm almost done, but I keep waffling on my songs. I'm so afraid the author will go WTF IS THIS CRAP GET IT OUT OF HERE.

I am too, bb, I am too. I will probably talk to people for two days and then hide myself away again for six months. I never know how to keep up a conversation. :/

I like your new name, btw!

UGH SAME, and I'm pleased with all my song choices, but now I'm worried they'll clash because I jumped around quite a bit with them so I've been obsessively listening to what I have so far.

Yesss, and I feel like people think that I think they're boring and it's not them, IT'S ME. /o\

Thank you! I'm really glad it wasn't taken because it's actually one of my favorite lines.

Yes! I have mostly the same kind of stuff, but then two or three songs that I'm worried clash because they're not really the same style, but I really like how they fit with the fic. So I'm just debating whether it's better to have a better overall flow or to have more songs that fit the fic really well.

EXACTLY. I always love talking to people, but then I'm like shit what do I say now that won't make them think I'm totally faily? And then I type something and hit send and think WHERE IS MY DELETE/EDIT COMMENT BUTTON? D:

Holy shit BBB. I'm fucking excited.

What's your AIM name? I forgot. I'd love to chat you up.

I'm excited to read all the stories (and download all the mixes, omg, so much music! \o/) but I'm terrified that my fic is going to suck pretty hard.

let the fire die!

I worked at both Talbot's and dELiA*s in the biggest mall in New York/one of the biggest malls in the country, Roosevelt Field? HOW CAN I HELP?

I think I have most of my questions answered (lol my flist is wicked fast!), although I'd be very interested in hearing how your mall labeled sections! Like would there be an L3, J4, etc., based on what level the stores were on and where they fell in the layout or what wing they were in? Also, how long were your breaks/lunch breaks, and were they scheduled for a certain time or could you just go when it wasn't too busy?

Well, there are store numbers? like anything on the first floor are in the 100s, and then on the second floor are the 200s, etc. But Roosevelt Field's layout is like a large rectangle with two long corridors with a few short connecting hallways between the two on each level. though on one end of the upper level is all open, with the food court (shaped like a zeppelin due to the fact that the mall is where the Roosevelt Field airfield was). Other malls with different shapes may be labeled differently ( ... )

That does help, thank you! I probably should have been asking this stuff back when I was first starting my fic and not, you know, like two weeks before deadline, but that's just how I roll. /o\ I may be back later with more questions if they pop up while I'm writing. Thank you again, bb!

HOW ABOUT YOU, M'DEAR?

Were you a bridesmaid? I've only ever been in one wedding, and that was when I was like, seven, and I had to be a flowergirl with my little sister who didn't get the concept. :D What color was your dress? YOU SHOULD POST A PICTURE! And if you already did, tell me to GTFO.

Other than getting busted by my internet provider, lol, not much! Writing a lot, playing some softball, avoiding family. The usual!
