I got it

Got the job. Now I'm going to be a cashier and/or at the jewelry counter. Which is kinda cool, cause they only put "dependable" people there that they know they can trust. The 'interview' was actually really easy. The whole process was, really. I walk in to the store and go to the service desk to tell them I have an interview and the one manager was right there, and she gives me a huge smile and says welcome back heather! and shakes my hand. And then she said follow me back and we'll get the paperwork stuff done. So she takes me back to the office, and I meet another manager (of some other division, i forget what) that is new since I worked there last year (and she's extremely nice and funny, if you were wondering). I filled out the survey thing, it's like 56 questions on how you would react in certain situations. And then they were debating on putting my scores into the computer or not, because they were worried I might fail this test/survey since my answers were so different from the last time I took it (and I passed it last time). But, after a few minutes of making me nervous, it was found out that... I got a 95!! The managers were like Heather, 95! NOBODY gets a 95 ever! And then one of them said how it was almost perfect this time, and last time I only got like a 50something. I just laughed and said I hope I would have gotten smarter at it since i worked there almost a year...
And then I had my schedule drawn up, and that's about it. For those curious, I work mainly mornings/afternoons this week, and I asked that be switched around to nights next week since I like working nightshift more (it's more fun and relaxed- shh!). She said that since nobody likes working nights she thought she was being nice by giving me days, and here I want nights. So she said no problem next week it'll be switched around so I work nights (we'll see about that, she tends to say one thing and then not do it). My schedule this week:
Tues: 11-5 on register
Weds: 10-2 in Jewelry
Thurs: day off
Fri: 1-10 Jewelry
Sat: 9-5 Jewelry
-----------------
25 hours total working + 1 hour lunch break every day I'm there 8+ hours (but I don't get paid for lunch)

So my week is going to be filled with trying to remember how to run register again (I'm getting an overview tomorrow, I'll only be on register then and I'll be near the service desk in case I need help since Im not getting training again on it) and also learning how to handle the jewelry counter. Jewelry might be difficult, because I'll be working with someone that LOVES gossip and is the complete opposite of me in every way, and also cause they tend to be fussy at the jewelry counter when deciding what goes where and etc. with displays and packing up. But who knows, it might be fun.
