Wednesday the 12th was my first day of work at Rip Curl. I found out I worked Wednesday and Thursday 9-4 which is a pretty good day. I showed up my first day and Renny the manager was going to train me in everything I needed to know. Little did we know that it was going to be packed in the store!! There were so many people coming in to shop, and the next person didn't come in to work until 1:30.
Renny showed me the register once and then it was time to sink or swim!! I think I did well!! My second day Thursday I had a 200 dollar sale and a 700 dollar sale back to back. So that's good right?
I really like my job and the people I work with. It's nice to be working, I feel like I'm actually here for a purpose now. Plus it gives me something to do. It was starting to get tiring just sitting around the hostel and not doing anything all day. This is much better, plus I'll be making money which is always a good thing!!
Next step in Surfers is to find a place to live. I've emailed a few people about places, but nothing really has come up, I'm not in a hurry as the hostel is pretty much cheaper than any place I'm going to find around this area. All the places in Surfers are like 180-200 a week!! Insane right! But I think it's just because it's so touristy. Everyone wants to be here.
Just wanted to give a quick update about my job and let everyone know that things are well! I've been told I'll be getting more hours than I originally thought which is good. Not sure how much I am making, but min wage is super high here and it kind of goes by age and experience as well, so I would guess I would be making around 20, but at least 15 or so. Which is still nothing to talk bad about except food and everything is SUPER expensive here. No wonder wages have to be so much higher. There is no way I would be able to live here for long if I hadn't had gotten this job.
I'll post some pictures of the store as I'm able to take some!
