Puke.

I started at Lancome this week-- dont' know why but it doesn't really feel natural to me... i think it's just a product of my complacency with clinique. translation: i think i'm just being a baby and will get over it as I finally learn what some stuff is.

It was nice to receive an actual welcome to the company-- to be introduced with high expectations and a with faith in me already secure. Rather than saying, "Whatever, this girl works here" only to later discover that I am actually pretty good at this and should be appreciated, it was "we are so excited because you're AWESOME" 

And I was automatically a part of the team and don't constantly feel like an after thought-- which is nice.
I've also noticed a distinct difference in the clientele. I choose that word because for Terry and the company it is apparently a HUGE priority to build relationships with the customers. So anyway, I've found that people are more interested in what I have to say if for no reason but that they are paying more money for the products.  
Also, people are less cheap-- they already know it's over priced.

However, I already miss the crap out of carin, even though she's just on the other side of the department it feels like a world apart-- everyone just gets so wrapped up in all their own stuff.

So in conclusion: I am excited-- i have a little more faith in the quality of merchandise I am selling, and for that reason, I think i will do very well.


On another note. 

I don't know what it is about reading jenny's blog-- but it just always makes me feel a little bit nauseous. It's like, I know that my life could be so different if I had chosen to do some things just a little bit differently. 
I am so jealous of social lives, and better cities, better schools... at least I have someone I love. 

If nothing else I have jake.
