I interviewed for it the other day and got the position. Today was my first official day. I have been working for about 6 months as floor staff and I'm now considered "gear lead". Our store has the GM, 3 assistant managers and then leads of a few different departments...shoes, men's clothing, women's clothing, accessories, toys/books/jewelry, and gear.

Gear is the camping, backpacking, luggage, mountain climbing, knives, etc. I enjoy camping, but I never would have thought that I would be so into the products that we carry. I'm excited, but I'm also nervous. Today went well, but I just felt like I was taking way too long to get my duties accomplished. I keep on second guessing myself. Overall, I'm more excited that anything though, I think.

I just wanted to share! Keep your fingers crossed that I do well and enjoy it!

Thanks everybody! I am hoping that I did okay on my tasks yesterday. I had today off so I will find out when I go in tomorrow. My stomach is a little nervous before I go in to my shifts now though, darnit.

Yeah, I did work at a restaurant for just a few shifts before I decided that things weren't quite right there. They funny thing is that two other people that I now work with once tried to work at that restaurant too and quickly left. No wonder I always see a "now hiring" sign on the window!
