BLACK FRIDAY

When I got my teaching job through Fellows for the year, I knew that this would mean cutting back (if not quitting) my job at Old Navy. I have complained about retail many times, but when it comes down to it, I really do like my job and the people that work there. So, here I am... starting my SIXTH holiday season at Old Navy. We've been through dozens of managers, hundreds of incompetent seasonal workers, and a number of hours that I have been under-paid for... but nothing compares to Black Friday!

To start, once again, we were given a hideous staff t-shirt. Over the years I've mastered dressing up my shirt; after all, we work in a retail/fashion environment. So here's what we did for the big event:

Green skinnies, boots, and a scarf accessorized me just enough to make it look like I tried while still leaving my comfortable!

After flying back from Chicago Friday morning, it was set to be a long night considering I had to work from 4p-12a. Closing up shop is a tough job on days like this one, so Ben took me to Yogurtini to gain some extra sugar for my life! Very much appreciated.

As you can tell by the writing of this post, I made it through the evening (and went back again on Saturday for a 9a-6p shift). It wasn't as awful as you'd think, although we did run into a few rude customers again this year, haha!

Here's a snapshot of my Old Navy magic! Only took me an hour! :)
