I got a job!!!!

Thanks Deb!!!! I really like the manager too... she is so outgoing and open... Very friendly and easy to talk to.. I even already told her about my surgery.... I wasn't going to, but she is so kind, that is just came out... She is being very understanding about all the time I am going to need off with my son getting married too... I was worried about that... Shawn M.

WTG Shawn, I know you will do just fine! Let us know how the first day went. Hugs, Valorie

Thanks Valorie!!!! I am exhausted after my first day... My feet and knees are killing me... I didn't realize how big that store was until I had to vacuum the whole thing... LOL... It took me almost and hour and a half just to do that... Then it was on to greeting customers and seeing if they needed any help finding anything (not that I could help them much, since I don't know where anything is at yet... lol) It was a pretty good day though.. I have to work again on Wed, Friday and Sat... Gonna be a long week with all my other stuff I have to too... Whew... I just keep thinking of all the calories I am gonna burn now... Shawn M.

Shawn, That's great news ! I'm sure you'll do a great job. And just think of the shoes !!!! Loretta

Thanks Loretta... Fortunately I have a foot that is hard to fit, so I won't be buying too many shoes, but when I do find a cute one that fits me... look out.. it will be mine... LOL... Shawn M.

Shawn, That's great!!! Congratulations and how in the world are you going to manage resisting all those shoes...I LOVE that store I know how nerve wracking it can be to start a new job but I have complete confidence that you'll do great!! Good luck! Corinna Q

Thanks Corinna.... It will be hard to resist all the shoes, but we do have bills to pay, so that will make me watch it a bit more than I would like too, plus I have a hard time finding shoes wide enough for my foot... Although I did find a knee high boot today that fit me... I have never been able to get something that went over the calf... I tried on about 10 boots before I found this pair... they were $100 but I got my discount so I HAD to get them.... I shouldn't have, but I did.... I have wanted boots like this since I was in Jr. High, and now I have some... woooo hoooo..... I really shouldn't have spent the money, but I do need footwear for work, so I can justify it... LOL.... Shawn M.

Congrats on getting the job. Good luck. Pattie

Thanks so much Pattie, I am gonna need luck.. I am so overwhelmed with all that is involved with this job.. there are soooo many shoes to get familiar with.. uughhh.... LOL... Shawn M.

If I worked at DSW, my paycheck would be spent on shoes and purses.... They ALWAYS fit! Good luck to you! Donna PS: You know me, haven't been around in a while. Caught up with your progress pics -- you look awesome girl!
