I love my company, I love some of the products, I even love the girls their.
What I'm not so in love with is, well, alot of things.
I have to pretend to be someone else at work, all day, most days of the week. People at work would not recognise me if they saw me out of uniform.
Ponytails and high collared shirts, taking out all but 2 of my piercings, not wearing anything but a neutral eye and a nude balanced lip every day....
it's like i stepped out of the body of courtney love and into audrey hepburn, and i loathe it. There's no self expression or creativity in this job, the targets are killing me even though i usually make them...
The skincare i sell mangled my skin and left me -literally- looking like a dragon because i was so dry and disgusting until i cried to a beautician and they saved my skin. I can't believe in it. Some of the makeup is great but its very much hit and miss...
If I'd known before i started this job that it would be so... personailty deprived and unchallenging... I'd never have taken it
quite frankly, I would rather be working as a stripper. Yes. A stripper.
Girls, i don't know what to do...
I need the money cos after my makeup course next year im going to be forced to leave home cos my parents are retiring to another part of the state and i'm not invited. But this job is strangling me and every morning on the way to work i feel sick and sad and reluctant to turn up.
not to mention the bitching that goes on in the cosmetics section is awful awful awful.
I love makeup, I really do, but working in cosmetics retail is not as great as i hoped it would be.
I'm considering getting my RSA (responsible service of alcohol certificate) and getting work in a bar or something, or a club. or even at a music store at the mall which is kinda alternative.
What do you think, girls?
I'm so confused.
