NJM #26 - It's Coming

NJM #25 - Black Friday
I made it through. It wasn’t all that brutal from a customer standpoint, but one of the managers was an absolute DICK to me on the freaking walkie-talkie! She kept giving me shit about everything...
NJM #24 - Thanksgiving

NJM #19 - Just Little Retail Things
I don’t have much to say today except that I worked 4 hours in the store today. It was Saturday so it was busy. I don’t know if I’m doing a very good job or not. The store that I work in is actu...
NJM #18 - Fit Session
I had to work at the store today. 1:00-5:00. I’m so appreciative of the half days to start out with because they help me get my bearings and not get too tired. Today was an extra special day beca...
NJM #17 - I Don't Wanna

NJM #16 - Act Your Wage
Day #3 at the retail salt mines. Ha! I’m only working 4-hour shifts right now, so they are really quite easy, save for all of the new stuff about devices and people talking in my ear and figuring...
