Employment.


"Please no photo's, I'm tired..."
Completed my first working weekend yesterday :).  I'm now employed by my local 'Boots' as a temporary Christmas worker. 'Boots the Chemist'. I was really scared my first morning, but everyone was nice and the manageress showed me all around the store and helped me with some training.  After lunch I started work on the checkout - I'm getting the hang of things and my confidence is already improving when helping and talking to customers.







Later on in the day I was left alone to help replenish shelf stock - didn't realise 'Soap & Glory' had so many beauty products!  I'm starting to think that working for Boots with all the lovely perfumes and make-up etc will mean I'll be spending my wages before I've even earn't them ...


Thought I'd add some free advertsing...








I don't have to go back into work until next Saturday, phew... although my manageress said my hours will steadily increase when it gets nearer to Christmas and I'm on my college holidays.

Practised applying zombie make-up tonight for my Media Studies film trailer.  Scared my mum to death when she saw me :), don't know what's up with her...?
