Can you Contain Yourself?

So I know that I haven’t been a good blogger lately, but I have two really good reasons. I’ve been busy trying to find a part-time job and absolutely nothing exciting has been happening.

I hate job interviews, but I really hate retail job interviews. There are only so many ways to discuss the merits of clear communication in the workplace and the importance of customer service. And nothing makes you feel more overqualified than when the “education” section of the application goes all the way back to elementary school.
Honestly, do any of these people really care where North Newton Jr/Sr High School is?

So after weeding through all my job offers, this week I started a job at The Container Store. If you check the website you will see that I am now officially a “neat person.” Thank you very much.

This week has been a lot of training. Some of it is interesting, but most of it is pretty boring…and a lot of common sense. I’m ready to just get out on the sales floor and get going. Hopefully by the middle of next week that will happen. And if Shawn thought the apartment was organized before, just wait until he sees what I can do with an employee discount and unlimited resources!
