about a month ago i applied for a job at my local lush store. i absolutely love their products and i'm in there so much that the staff know me by name anyway. so i thought hey, what's the worst that can happen? if i got rejected then i'd get rejected. plus after five years of having health issues i'm finally back on a managable path so it'd be something i could do.

and i got a surprise when three days later i opened up my inbox to find an email asking me to a group interview. so i went, did the usual thing- i was so sure i flubbed trying to sell my favourite product- and came away from the evening with a goodie bag and a promise of hearing back by the next evening. another email came through the next day offering me a trial shift. my trial shift was on saturday for an hour and it didn't just go well but i loved it. i got to do demos of products, talk to customers, blow giant bubbles around the store and talk about eco/social campaigns. as i was leaving at the end of the trial the manager told me she'd call me back by the next afternoon. well...

i got the job!!

so now i work for lush which is really exciting for me because i get to work in a nice environment and take part in social change campaigns. the extra money coming in certainly doesn't hurt either!
