Wow Crocker Park sounds like my mall. Outdoor walks laid out with trees, fountains and benches. Cafe tables outside the restaurants and also residential units above the stores. Not like the ones on 13th ave, these are luxury apts. 8 story office space and of course the rickshaws. On fri and sat there is concerts near the 2 million dollar fountain that dances to music. I think there is a new store in crocker park. The mall feel and traffic is very different. It is a bit deserted till the evening when it gets busy. Odd.

So i have been taking application for quite some time for seasonal help. Speaking of richshaws i spoke to a rickshaw driver with 1 leg looking for a holiday job. I spoke to a professional actor, several people that have not worked in years, 2 people that did not want to put down thier ss#?, a guy who wanted to work for free for a week to prove himself, 1 application i could not read. I am astounded at what some write down. i left my old job due to conflict with my boss,wrongfully accused of theft, too boring to work there and the best was i was fired because i missed a meating, spelled that way.

Anyway, working in retail for the holiday season is brutal, its fun times but long days away from the house and family. It sucks always being late for the party or your wife going solo. Christmas shopping is even worse, do you want to be at the mall 1 minute longer than you have to after a 10 hour day? You do however get to see every misfit that shows thier face in public once a year. That is the fun part. I wish my family could all work in my store for just one day so i could have a little fun. They could see my day and they could see the monetary possibilities of owning a business. I do need to start a business of my own. Not that it will be any easier but it would be more fulfilling. okay enough.
