Job Stuffies

So. I work at a Home Improvement store called Jerry's. It's family owned and operated, and only has two facilities. ^^ Spent three days training at the smaller store in the next town over (about a 15 min drive - we have small towns) and then headed over to mine to start my first Official day today. Woot!

So, I am a stocker in the Lighting department, meaning lots and lots of lightbulbs. (Woo, breakables...) Up and down and up and down and up and down the ladder. Hee. ^.^ Carrying glass. >.> Me. <.< Yeah, I dun get it either, but at least I didn't break anything today. ^.^

Everyone is super friendly. And I mean that. For the last 2 hours of our orientation they pitched us out on the floor with 'trainee' aprons on to direct customers around. I swear every single employee on that side of the building came up to say hi and welcome and introduce themselves. o.O;; And the customers are almost as cheerful. It's a whole different world. o.o;

I'm also convinced that one of the hiring qualifications is appearance, because somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of the people working there are zomgyummy cute. Including my supervisor. Who has a twin brother. Who also works in the store. x.x Do you have any idea how hard it is to think clean thoughts around him?

This company is so much of an improvement over Wal-Mart I wouldn't even know where to start gushing. Everything is better. Including the break room. Wally's had a single refrigerator for 300-400 employees to put their lunches in. Jerry's has three coolers, deeper than your average fridge, for 250-300 people. The staff areas are upstairs, with great big windows, and carpeted except for the floors and lunch room. They're clean, organized, and everyone seems genuinely happy to work there.

I really really really love this company.
