Bath and Bodyworks floorset (displays) for this past Christmas season. I think they want me stay on at this job but I don't know about that one! I thought I could get company stocks without paying a commission but you have to be full time. The job doesn't pay a lot and the hours have been up to 2:30 a.m. You go in when the stores closes to change things around. Staying up so late goofs me up for the next day, and I just don't think its worth it.

That is so neat! I'm one of those people who always wondered why the store was so well-stocked, and nobody seemed to be doing it while I could see them...I had no idea you were working into the night. Wow!

Your clothes must smell better than mine when you're coming home from your job! LOL

Well I gotta give the whole story. In our paper was and ad for a bunny helper. Ic alled and they were doing interviews at a local hotel. My mom thought it was a scam and did not want me to go. Anyway, it was for the Easter Bunny in the mall I was helper most of the time but our "Bunny" flaked out on us so sometimes I was the bunny. It paid great! And when that was on my application for another job I got called for an interview just so the HR person could ask what position that was. hehe.
