10 minutes and counting...

My New Year's intention (resolution seemed a little hard!) was to take better care of my skin- well more specifically my face. I started off cleansing, toning and moisturising every night and have slowly added mornings too. Tonight I have a mask on that needs to be wiped off in around 9 minutes, so I thought I would blog whilst waiting! All this has paid off. I have had far fewer zit outbreaks and I like the feel of my skin. Many people have told me I am glowing, which surprises me seeing the state of my home affairs. Anyway, it is almost 3 months into the year and it has only been in the last fortnight that my routines have slipped a little. Hence the mask tonight- back into it!

I was approached at work yesterday by another manager- "F, walk with me." I immediately, thought I was in trouble, but in fact it was the opposite. The store launched a store card last November and it is important that as many customers as possible are signed up. This manager is responsible for the store's efforts in this card and has permission to 'employ' a person who will be the MCard Rover. She offered me the job! It will be semi-set hours with extra hours in electrical and possibly other departments. I have asked for a contract, but if it is set hours at a casual rate then I won't complain! I was told to keep it hush hush, but told W and the kids last night over dinner. W just wanted to know when my thesis would be finished. Miss I was ecstatic, but can't understand why they love mummy so much at work! I don't think j understood!

Well today I was told that this manager had gone to her manager and she was thrilled with the idea of me doing this so it was all go. Then I was congratulated by Dreadful D! I asked if people had been told (duh!). Then I was called into the tail end of the managers' meeting. I had had a great day sales wise- LCD TV, 2 home theatre systems, 2 high end laptops, a number of small appliances etc. And I signed up 2 MCards! LOL! Well they all applauded me and were full of congratulations! I have tomorrow off and start on Saturday! They are doing a communication to all staff tomorrow telling them all about my role. As Big Kev (RIP!) would say- I'm excited!

My skin improves when I take regular care of it. Don't do that often enough though.

Did your manager really say, "Walk with me"? I thought that only happened in the movies! LOL
