I finally got a job!
As those of you who I have been talking to via telephone lately know, I have been searching high and low for any type of employment in the Rogue Valley and have been shut down too many times to count. But, thanks to the mother of all things sexy and volumptuous, Victorias Secret just hired me as their new sales associate.
Now this job may not seem like a great fit for me, the girl who hasn't shaved her legs in a year and a half and often goes braless under cotton shirts, but in a way it falls in place behind the couple years I have been involved in women's issues. I have been an active participant in SHE and am a SARA at Willamette, so if a bra is helping to hoist up tits and a woman's self confidence then I guess I'm doing a great service.
So here's a funny little antecdote about my interview. It was a "group" interview, but really it was just me and one other girl. We were waiting around to go in the back room to be interviewed and this other girl, Leticia, was very feminine, all dolled up and wearing LOTS of make up. We started to chat in the store, and I asked her if she had any retail experience. "No, I work at a salon right now...but I haven't done anything like this before. Do you?" "No," I responded, "I have only had jobs in food service." "Oh? That's cool, like around Medford?"
"yeah...I worked at Cold Stone in Medford, and then last summer I worked in a restaurant in England."
"OOOhhhhhhh.....! wooowww.....coool...," she breathed in a syruppy sweet high pitched voice. "Thats so cool...so did you like, learn the language?"
....
"uhh....English?.... I was in England..." I clarified, confused thinking maybe she didn't hear where I had been.
"yeah...or ... wherever you were...?" she continued to look at me questioningly, waiting for my response to "did i learn the language."
"uhmm they speak English in England. I was in England."
"ooohh yeahh, huh?... but like, with an accent or something..."
Just then we were called in for our interview. We both got the job.
It's going to be a long summer in retail. Later I think I'll tell her I know what Victoria's Secret is. She's a lesbian.
