By far it's the best part-time job :D Considering it's probably my last part-time job ever -since student life is ending- it had better be :P Although it wasn't my cup of tea at first, what being it's a scrapbooking shop and my 2 co-workers are the creative sort. And my sister got me in on recommendation. And she got a full-time offer from them. And I had to get to know the niche market and the products the community used and recommend them...
Some days it's hair-pulling with 'what-am-I-doing-here' thoughts. Also we're not allowed to read during shift hours, that killed me a bit ;P So...I started experimenting with making cards since I've made some before and don't think I'm that bad, but not particularly good at it either.
I surprised myself :) It's good to get creative sometimes.
These were what I came up during the last 2 weeks :) The middle one isn't a card, but white cardstock covered with stamps I found in folders the night before :D That's when I had more inspiration.
Scrapbooking style (judging from those found in the store and the magazines they stock) commonly seems to must have many layers for an effect. That's when the lost feeling multiplied when I thought I had to do something like that. Quite depressing, especially when I found that style to be messy ;P
But I churned out something simple and I've stuck with that. Simple is what I'll always be. I honestly cannot stand stuff everywhere on a surface or embellished with buttons. I hate buttons :P
It has been a good month :) and the paycheck's due in a few days, making it even better teehee. Okay, I grudgingly went for the interview my sister set up for me, unknowingly loving the job after 4 weeks :) When I'm not servicing customers, I get to dig around for scraps and papers to make cards with while getting paid a good amount per hour :)
It's awesome that they have samples I can play around with; stamps (rubber and clear), dies, plenty of paper, inks/inkpads, and scissors. I kid you not about scissors! I found out that I really liked using the Martha Stewart pair.
I nearly dropped them when my supervisor told me they cost RM82 and is the most expensive in the shop *gulp*
BUT IT'S REALLY NICE TO USE!! My other co-worker likes EK's Bumblebee, but hey, to each her own. But..but..but...EIGHTY TWO BUCKS FOR A PAIR OF SCISSORS!! Fair enough it's imported from the US...but hell...
CT asked if I'd hit him over the head if he bought me MS scissors.
Of course I said yes! Also said I'm doomed with expensive taste and he asked doomed for him or me *stares*.
Lalala. In the weekly timetable in my head, days seem pretty full with me working weekends, weekday classes, now trying to make a regular badminton game weekly. These are the things I WANT to do, changing my mind about the club thing. Which seems pretty dead end now.
How? See how lah. Hehehe,
