Tea time for me.

A couple days ago I submitted an application for Yankee Candle in the mall, and the manager asked if I could come back and fill out a survey thing. Well, I did, and as I was leaving she said, "I'll review all your stuff and call you the beginning of next week. You wouldn't start orientation and training videos for another couple weeks, though." And I'm like... Do I have the job? I HOPE SO. Oh man. Candles. That's pretty exciting, right?

Also! Nicole Kidman confirmed to play Mrs. Coulter in the His Dark Material movies. Yeah... not exactly who I pictured. And no, I didn't picture Angelina Jolie either. Some kid named Dakota Richards is set to play Lyra, but I haven't seen any pictures of her yet.


Oh man, Thom Yorke's new album The Eraser = so ace. I'm in love. Mostly thanks to nothing_to_say. :D

I work at Yankee Candle! =D

Oh yeah! Do you like it okay? I mean, it's not like I can be picky right now - the phrase, "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind - but I've never done retail before, heh.

I've been working there for almost two years now. It's been a year and 9 months. It was my first REAL job, and I don't think I could've had a better one. My biggest complaint is that I don't get nearly enough hours, because there aren't enough hours to go around, which sucks. But I love all the people that I work with, so I don't want to leave. Another thing is that they make a huge deal about "secret shoppers" (people that come in and pretend to be customers but are really evaluating you for the company). The things that we're supposed to do for every single customer are truly ridiculous. But overall, I like working there.

Aw, yay! Now I really hope I get the job omg.

No way! Nicole Kidman?! I hadn't pictured her that way either.

I've pretty much given up hope for all book-to-movies (I'm pretty disappointed on what I've heard/seen about OotP at the moment), but I at least hope they'll dye her hair dark. :\

I'd have to agree, except she'll look deathly pale under a dark shade of hair... :x

Yankee Candle? That would be fun.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I hope so! I need the money right now anyway, so I can't complain, heh. :D

[scarytales.livejournal.com]

I pictured her like Catherine Zeta-Jones. But Nicole Kidman will do. :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that would be hot. I'm sure Kidman will do fine... I'm just always in favor of the unknowns for those kind of big roles, you know?

I work at Linens N Things and I love it there. I'm a cashier and just walked in because they were hiring. It's also my first job, and it's just perfect. The people are great and I enjoy it a lot. I plan to go back there for the Christmas holiday when I'm back from college.

We sell Yankee Candle things! lol.

I've been trying to get hired for a lot of retail positions, but I'm always worried because I've never done retail before! But I trust y'alls opinion more than most, actually, hehe.
