IM BACK!!! I hope you guys missed me as much as I missed you!
For those of you who didn't know, I was in Nashville all last week training for my new job as assistant manager at Forever 21. It was such a crazy week, tons of work, but also TONS of fun!There was so much that happened last week and so much that I want to tell you girls, so get ready this may be a long post. Grab a coffee, maybe some snackage, and settle in.
Ready?!
OK!
Monday
Kelli and I went to orientation in Johnson City to meet all the sales associates. Nothing too interesting there...except for one girl who stood up and introduced herself and then proceeded to tell us all that she was the hardest worker that anyone had ever seen and she was taking all our jobs, because she was the best. Yeah, I kid you not.
So after orientation Kelli and I met at the airport to pick up our rental car. That is probably the coolest and most important that I have ever felt. All I did was walk up to the counter, say my name, and they handed over the keys to a brand new 09 Accord. Just for me and Kelli for the whole week!
Her mom took pictures and kept saying that we were "Women of the World", which was a saying that we kept repeating to eachother all week.
We got there a little after 8, changed, and headed downtown for dinner. We ended up going to the Hardrock Cafe, because it was the first place we saw and we were STARVING!
After dinner, we stopped for a little desert.
And hung out a little with our Bestie Elvis, you may have heard of him...
After a little carousing around downtown, we decided to head back to the hotel and call it a night.
TUESDAY
Kelli and I woke up and took full advantage of the free breakfast at the hotel. Am I the only one who thinks this is the BEST part about staying in a hotel?! I always get sooo pumped about the breakfast. This hotel had such a good one too! They even had a "healthy" section where they had yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, and things like that. It was something like amazing!
After breakfast we got ready, and just like true girls went to the mall! Hey we had to check out the store...right?!
After shopping we went home to rest up a little because our first night working was going to be an over nighter! We arrived at 8 p.m. and didn't leave until 5 a.m. It was weird, but totally fun because we got to see all the new clothes coming in and shop before anyone else even SAW the stuff. We even brought a coffee pot to make our own coffee and the manager brought snacks and candy to keep everyone pumped up all night! Im pretty sure that NO ONE in Nashville sleeps.
After finishing up the floorset at 5 a.m. Kelli and I hit the bed and were OUT!
WEDNESDAY
Nothing too exciting...pretty much slept all day because of our late night and then went into work at 4. It ended up being another late night and we didn't get off work until 3 a.m.!!
THURSDAY
The other managers and I worked a mid shift at Forever21 and then decided to go out for a nice dinner. Hey, Forever21 was picking up the tab, so we went all out and decided on a really nice sushi restaurant.
The menu was INSANE, with millions of different kinds of sushi. Im usually not too big on the crazy rolls with all kinds of different stuff crammed in, so I got one that sounded a little like a spicy tuna roll...and I can't even remember the name of the rolls the other girls got...but I did get pics, of course!
No one else was very enthusiastic about picture taking.
FRIDAY
Friday was out last day of work and we had to be there at 7 a.m. to launch a new line called "TWIST" which is a circus inspired line that Forever21 JUST put out in limited stores. It was so exciting to be able to shop all those clothes before they were even available to anyone else! Everything was so cute and very crrazzy with tutus and head pieces. Here are some samples:
You can see the whole line HERE. Of course we all had to snatch up some of the stuff and rep it out on the town that night.
We ate at Cheesecake factory that night...and since it was free ordered just about everything on the menu...and took most of it home.
And of course got a couple of drinks. Cheesecake factory had the BEST martinis!
Oh yeah, and don't think we didn't get CHEESECAKE!
SATURDAY
Woke up, checked out, finally got home. It feels so good to be home and sleeping in my own bed! It was such a crazy week but sooo much fun!
Today is a rest day with lots of unpacking and laundry on the schedule. I start work tomorrow night, which is "truck night". We pretty much stay overnight and unload all the new clothes into the store while everyone else is snoozzzzing. Its kinda like CHRISTMAS! haha.
Hope everyone else had a great week! I have missed you girls TONS! I have ALOT of catching up to do in the blog world. Hope you didn't forget about me!
Lots of Love, <3 Ems.
