accomplished

Yesterday was my first day at Radio Shack. It was kind of boring and pretty overwhelming. I was exhausted, and dreading going back again today, but it turned out better than I thought. I actually got to ring up two customers, something I've never ever done before. I also answered the phone twice. I was flustered the first time because my manager just kinda threw the phone at me and said "answer it" so I said "This is Radio Shack (pause) This is Staci, how can I help you." I felt stupid, but the second time I answered I did really well. I need to get to know the store a little better, I attempted to help a customer because everyone else was busy, and I didn't know anything. I sounded dumb, but my manager came back and rescued me. Didn't get a sale out of it though, oh well. My manager commented on how quiet I was. I'm not that quiet once I get to know people though. I don't think so at least. I really like my manager and the girl that I have worked with so far.
The thing I have missed most while I haven't been working is the feeling I get walking out of work. I have to fight the urge to giggle because I'm so excited to be done for the day and going home. Isn't that weird? I feel so accomplished for working all day and relieved that I get to go home.

well done. Just give yourself a little time to getting used to the products they sale and the customers. With time you will get so used to it that you don't have to think a lot what to say. Nothing wrong being excited going home. I am sure when they will get use to you and you get use to them they think that this is quite funny. Enjoy your job

That is SO awesome! You go girl! I used to get that same feeling with work, bwahaha. I totally know what you mean. I'm sure you'll also warm up and when you're more familiar with everything you'll be lively and sell lots and everyone will love you!
