The Tiffany Experience

It has been a couple of weeks since my last blog.  I have been super busy at my new job, and I love it!!!  I am currently in my second week of training and although it is a lot of information, I am doing really well and I enjoy learning about such a world renowned company.

The people that work there are all so nice.  Everyone is so willing to help you and answer any questions you may have.  They also say that they set everyone up for success.  

I never thought I would enjoy working in a big company, but I have definitely changed my mind.  I thought everyone would just do their own thing and not worry about anyone else, but my trainer Katie said today that they really worry about people in their department and if you are late or don't show up for work, they worry that you may have gotten into an accident or are sick.  As soon as you walk in the door everyone says hello or gives a smile and seems like everyone truly enjoys their job.

I am really am so happy with this job and although for the moment it is a seasonal position, I am hoping it turns into a permanent one.  It is definitely a place where I feel like I fit in, and although we are told to give the customers a "Tiffany experience" I feel as if I have gotten one just by working there!

Sports Fan

I hate when people think that just because I am girl, it means I can't comprehend sports or I can't be a sports fan.  News flash, I can comprehend and I am a sports fan.  I have always been a sports fan, and I have always played sports.  I enjoyed some more than others and spent a majority of my life playing soccer.  I have also spend a majority of my life watching the Yankees with my father.  It was the only thing on our television from April until October.  I am not a front runner, I am not a bandwagon fan, I am a true fan.  I can't help that I was brought up a team that others criticize whenever they get a chance.  I am tired of defending myself to the "boys club" when it comes to talking sports.

For the record, as a baseball fan, I would have been quite happy had the Orioles won the ALCS.  It has been 15 years since they have been in such a position and it would be exciting had they kept on going.  Am I happy that the Yankees won?  Obviously, but I would have also liked to have seen what the Orioles could have done.  It was a good series and I am hoping we can do it again next year.  It has been fun having a friendly competition with the O's fans in my life!

On to the ALDS!  Go Yankees!

Thank You!

I was very overwhelmed by all the warm wishes I received yesterday after announcing I got a job.  From the phone calls, to the texts, to the Facebook messages...it really is good to know there are people out there who are supportive.  It is good to know that there are people out there, who even though I don't talk to often, that can be happy for me.  I am genuinely happy when good things happy to other people, so its great to know that people are supportive of me as well.

I can't wait to start my new job at Tiffany & Co!  It seems like a great environment to work in and one of the women I met with the other day said that they are very supportive of their employees and genuinely appreciate each and every person.  I am excited to meet new people and learn new things, but mostly excited to have a purpose once again.  Trying to have a purpose when you are unemployed and broke is a difficult task!!

I have gotten numerous requests for use of my employee discount so I will keep you all informed.  But seeing as how over a month ago I sent my mom my birthday/Christmas wish list, and I requested a pair of Tiffany earrings, my personal shopping is first and foremost :-)

Thank you to everyone who offered up support, whether through "likes," texts, messages or phone calls.  From the bottom of my heart I really do appreciate it.  It has been a rough couple of months for me and its great to know so many people care.  Love to you all xoxo!

Positivity

It seems like I haven't written in awhile when in fact I have written, I just chose to keep some writings private.  I have decided to focus on what's positive in my life instead of what is negative.  And although there seems to be a lot of negative, I am looking past it and moving on.  Sometimes situations don't work out and there is nothing you can do to fix that.

On a positive note, I applied for a job today and got a call a few hours later asking me to come in for an interview.  I know I am awesome and make a good first impression, but I never thought I would get a call so quickly, even if the woman did say she was going to call me.  In the world of job searching, when people say they will call, they likely don't when they say they will.  I'm hoping this all works out!

On another positive I got myself a new roommate.  He is a beta fish and I named him Curtis after my favorite Yankee Curtis Granderson!  Too bad he can't pay rent though!

I am loving this fall weather!  The trees look beautiful, the weather is crisp and the weather is perfect for sleeping.  I have been sleeping so well lately.  I think it is because of the chilly fall air coming in my window.  It may get cold at night but I love cuddling up under the blankets!  The only downfall is my scratchy throat, but it seems to be typical fall allergies.  Oh, and the best part of fall...Yankees Postseason!  There is nothing better than watching a good postseason baseball game!
