Worked today and yesterday and my feet are killing me! I haven't had to stand for such a long time in ages! And even at my other job I had seats to sit on. Here I'm on my feet for 4... 5... hours. It's crazy. And its even worse when you have to run around getting products for people. It was so busy today. Yesterday wasn't so bad. It was very quiet yesterday which is why time passed so slowly. But today, I worked for 5.5hours and it was busy for most of the time. It got so busy at one stage that I had to serve two customers at once! I was so stressed! lolz. They were both asking me questions at the one time and I got so confused as to who wanted what item. But the good news is that we made our budget today. We have a daily budget that we try to achieve and apparently if we achieve the monthly budget (that is we have to achieve the daily budget everyday for that to happen) then we get commision as a team. So each member gets a little bit extra in their salary for that week. hehe. Its not much, but at least its something.
Anyways, today we closed at 5:30pm. And at 5:15pm our daily total was 3,957.. $133 short of our daily budget. So that's like one sale. I was so determined to make that one sale before we closed and I told my manager that we weren't allowed to go home until we achieved our daily budget. She just laughed at me and told me that I could stay behind to close up then. hehe. She said that the center looked pretty quiet at that time and that we probably wouldn't get another customer. And just as she said that a couple walked in. Determined to make that one sale, I approached them and used my new found selling skills to achieve my goal. And alas! I did! hehe... we sold a hedgehog that was worth $150. So yay! we went over our budget! woohoo! I was so happy... and my manager was very impressed! :D

So today was a very good day. I really enjoying this job. Its a lot of fun.
