First Day of Work

Yesterday was my first day of work at Best Buy. It was an interesting experience. When they had me work the registers I picked it up really quick and I was really confident that I had it down. Then they threw my on the floor into the computer section where I will be working. That was when I started to panic. I know nothing about computers and tablets. I know how to use a computer, but I don't know how to sell them to people and explain all the inner workings of them.
I don't know what RAM and CPU and all this crap is! I hate going into situations and not being the best at them. I makes me feel icky and useless. Not a good feeling.
And to top it off the uniform is tan pants and an ugly blue polo. Not very goth friendly. I have to wear the tan pants and a white button up till my shirt comes in. I feel totally out of my element in these clothes. I would feel more comfortable if I was able to wear black pants. I have always had an aversion to light colored bottoms since I was 14 and started my period while wearing a white skirt.
Also, there are a lot of people that go to my school that work there. It's a little weird. One girl came up to me and said, "Aren't you that goth girl that I see around campus?"
At first I had no idea what to say so I just said, "Yeah, I guess."
That was really weird!

  4. That sucks! I'd hate to be expected to sell something as complicated as computers if I wasn't fmailiar with how they work. Better brush up on your computer terms and general knowledge before the big sale. I'm sure learning this stuff will help you in the future.
