Okay. Haven't been here in awhile, but I promised Sis that I would try harder.
I'm now working at VS part time, as I mentioned before. This has been nice for Ev's wedding present (no VS in Canada!!) and Hannah's post baby wardrobe needs. I sent them presents and I know Hannah loves hers.
The manager that hired me was gone for three months, but he is back now. He is major serious about measuring for bras and making sure all of the drawers and such are perfect. The mall closes at 9, but we never leave before 11 pm Mon-Sat. Yikes! The other night, we were there until midnight. That would not be bad for late night me, but I am working 45 hours or more at my other job these last two weeks. Adding on the 22 hours I got this week at VS, I am pulling 65-70 hour work weeks.
Here are some of the highlights from my stint at VS:
"Do you have knickers to match this bra?" -Seriously, everytime a British customer says knickers, especially when referring to a thong, I giggle in the back of my mind.
"Wow, you are really mature for a 28-year-old." What they heck is that supposed to mean.
"Why are you looking at guys, you are married." me:"Why do you think I'm married?" "Well, you are so smart and seem to have your $hi# together, so I guess I just assumed you were married."
Me: "Ma'am, you measure to be a 40DD, here is our body by victoria bra that I would recommend..." "I am NOT that big, I am a 34/36D. I will just get more of that size." "Umm...Okay" (Trying hard not to stare at her boobs, which were centered in here chest with at least 6 inches on the right or left where they actually belonged.....)
At closing some of the other girls were talking: "I am going to have to be more careful. He's getting smarter. I don't mind all the other guys finding out about each other, but my real man can't. I might need to get another phone."
two coworkers talking at closing: "I have to change my name." "Why?" "Just my last name." "Oh, did you get married?" "No, divorced." "How old are you?" "20" "You are kidding, that's just crazy!"
It has been surreal working with college/fresh out of high school kids again. However, this round, most of them have one year olds or are divorced... It's just weird.

I can't even imagine, except that I picture myself feeling very, very old.
I don't go to VS. It has always bothered me that any bras that might fit me are hidden away in the secret drawers. They can't even display one rack of larger sizes?! So I go across the hall to Lane Bryant where big bosoms are everywhere! :0)
I agree with OM.... LB is the place for my booby comfort! However, I can't imagine working with people this young and their "dramas" either. Kudos to you for not going off on anyone about their little comments!!
VS sounds like RW (the real world). Don't let them get to you. THey are sociopathic- make their rules seem like the "right" rules.
If you want, I can send you copies of pics of me with Jeff and spin a fantastic tale! I'm thinking . . .
1) You got divorced two years ago, here's a pic of your ex hubby and daughter, who live in nebraska (have fun explaining why he got custody.)
2) You are married, but you both prefer to live in different locations. Jeff has a coworker like that.
3) I dare you to say you were a surrogate for me, or that I stole your hsuband, or that I got custody of your kids. . .I dare you!
I love my present!!!! I just got it yesterday and these things are amazing. You have seriously helped my VS withdrawal...can you talk to your bosses about opening a franchise here in Ottawa please?! :D
