Post just a thought

Hey sorry but im going to share my thoughts on this bored and who ever whats to can take it down be my guess....

GOOOOOOosh i hate finding a job, i guess 4, months out of the year isnt so bad. I think i would rather go all year round. I am taking 1 class in the summer. I work at bath and body works but its mainly for the discount. I work like 2 days a week. I like working in retail so i want to stay in that field. I am thinking about applying at the Gap, cause if i do that then i will get a disscount at the whole mall. B/c limited owns bbws-express-limited. And Gap owns BR-Old navy. See Aberombie used to be owned by limtied but they wanted to be a sepreate store, they are no longer in the limited family. Man, the thing that sucks is you have to be out of college to be manager at one of these chain stores, and i'm just soon to be sophmore in college.. At BBWs i only make $6.50 a hour.. Ok enough of my store knowleadge i am sorry.. bye i am bored and i needed to express my feelings and this is a better way of doing it cause ......um, i dunno just is. HAHA bye.

Heather- I would love to have your life!!!!

I'm older than you and believe me- you will want to put off working full-time for as long as you can! True- that first job out of college is exciting- the money, freedom, respect but after 10 years of working 10 hour days, weekends, having to carry a pager 24/7 so you are always available- making coffee eventhough you have that college degree - - ugh!!!! I can't wait to retire!!!! So- I know looking for work and dealing with the minimum wage is a bummer but enjoy your college years as much as you can!!! Trust me! Sue

Believe me you don't want to be a retail manager - if you want to have a life that is - cause once you get to be a manager you can sometimes work up to 60-70 hours a week!!

I didn't know that A & F broke off from the Limited conglomerate.

Oh, you're going to think I'm a hundred years old, but does anyone here shop at Delia's? We are getting one in our mall and I was just curious if there is going to be anything in there that won't look ludicrous on my thirty-something bod.

Ok yesterday i got a application or "gaplacation" (haha i made that up) and the manager told me that i couldnt work at bbws cause they sale lotion and crap like that. The only thing i could figure out is there competing corps. Limited vs. Gap or something liek that. BUT get this, my crush works there he is so sexy and i see him all the time and i'm shy to talk to him, so i may be working with him.. he's super cute, he gots the looks to be in a boyband--haha!!


The only reason i know that abercrombie broke off is b/c i tried getting my discount at there store and they said they are no longer sibs with limited.. I was like DAMN, i have to pay full price for these clothes now.. hey i take every little discount possible..

Alrighty back to the gap thing, i filled out my app but i dont want to quit bbw.

Right after A&F revived in a big way (they were purchased by Limited Corporation a LONG time ago), they were able to dissolve the relationship. You can find this on the Limited's website. I remember seeing Abercrombie soap and whatnot in VS.
