The return of retail, a smelly job.

So I started a part-time job today. I didn't think I would find myself returning to retail, but when you need to pay the bills while you hold out for a full-time job....retail is the easiest route. I had a 6 hour orientation/training today on my first day. I was reminded of the absolute cheesiness of customer service videos. I felt like I stepped into an episode of the UK's "The Office" where Garreth is demonstrating to a new employee how to lift up a box the 'proper' way (with the knees, NOT the back!), as serious as can be. Rocket science folks! Hahaha. Even though it's retail, at least it's some income to pay my bills, stave off temporary boredom with a change of atmosphere, AND it's quite a fragrant smelly environment....better smelling than my last job. :) It's interesting how smells can affect moods and reflect one's personality. In my training, I learned that 70% of customers like floral smells the most. As usual, I'm atypical from the rest of the crowd: I noticed I like the sensual exotic smells. Wonder what that signifies....
