Within a month I have gone from broke and no source of income to two jobs and finally a little extra money around. I applied for lady foot locker last week and received my first interview. Within a few days I was asked to come back for a second interview. A couple days after that I was told I was hired and started training that next day. The only other job I have had before this is lifeguarding every summer for five summers. I have never had to balance school soccer and two jobs, but so far so good!
Just in the two weeks I have worked there I have already learned a lot. As dumb as this may sound I did not know there was such a difference in shoes and that the shoes you wear can affect other parts of your body. I know what shoes are good for people that pronate, or roll in when they walk. People with flat feet and high arches I know just the shoes for you now! I have learned the shoes most useful for long distance runners, and every day walkers.
The coolest thing that I have seen so far is the new Reebok and Sketchers shoes that work your glutes and hamstrings while you walk. Very smart idea, and I am surprised they did not come up with that sooner. They are pretty popular. So if you are looking for some new shoes I know a lot now. Ha
I also received a job working in the student center score keeping basketball intramurals. Pretty easy job for a score keeper, but I am very happy I am not a referee. Some of these guys take the intramural games VERY VERY seriously. You would think they were playing for a championship or something. I have seen people get in fights with their own roommates. Guys like to say girls complain a lot and are whiny, but that is absolutely false, at least during intramural basketball games that is. Every play there is another guy complaining about a call that was or was not called. There is always someone shouting profanities and getting in someone’s face. It really is funny to watch, but only because I am not the referee that has to deal with any of that. I get stressed out enough just sitting on the side lines stopping the clock and tracking the points.
Over all I am lucky to have both jobs that I really do enjoy for the most part and to final have some money coming in. I am going to need that money for my upcoming trip to South Padre Texas!!! Woooooo!
Getting a new job is great, and you have two! That is double the greatness! Sounds like you have your hands full. I used to work in a shoe department, but we only had limited knowledge and limited foot wear. It sounds like you are learning a lot! I heard that the shoes that you wear can even effect your back. If your back hurts, perhaps you are wearing the wrong shoes. I'm not sure if it's true thought. Your second job sounds good too, but it would be hard stopping the clock and tracking the points because you have to pay very close attention. I'm assuming you could not miss a single move! I hope you get enough money to go to South Padre, Texas! I have always wanted to go there!
