Sorry I missed a day of blogging, I was so incoherent after work nothing I wrote would have made a lick of sense.
Our first day was mostly boring, I sold very little and Steph had no people come through her shop. I think this will probably be the routine we will have to get use to, the beginning of the week will be slow and it will only get busier towards Friday.
Day two was more memorable, in that I could remember it. I love my walk to work, I watched the full moon make it's run towards the horizon, after a half an hour the clouds took on pinkish glow from the rise of the sun from the opposite horizon. Oh, did I mention that when I have down time I just stand at the store front and stare at the Caribbean ocean? Because that is what I do, and it is encouraged because it is where we greet customers.
Work did start at a 5:30 AM so don't be totally jealous, okay be a little jealous. I sold $19,000 worth of jewelry today, with a 2% commission you can do the math. Steph had 9 people come into her store during her shift, so, yeah, do the math...
But on a positive note, Steph is getting along great with her co-workers, and when the cruise ships come into port, she'll have plenty of help navigating sales. The difference between my store and Steph's store, is that my store is more of a destination location. Steph's store is a shop that gets busy when a cruise ship with onboard promotions for her shop comes to port. So some days are crazy busy, others are VERY slow. She has only experienced very slow days so far.
Dinners: Left over chicken noodle soup, still yummy.
We had a late lunch or something, our days all are all messed up right now. Most people eat dinner about 2 hours after they get off from work, that falls around 3:30 for us so timing in our world is a little strange but anyways we ate dinner at Le Chef again. I didn't order the chicken breast so the prices were a little better. We both got sandwiches which we will finish the other halves tomorrow. We got a Caprese salad too, the fresh vegetables were greatly appreciated.
I'm so glad that you are writing this, Niko. I can live through your descriptions of warmth and waves. It's cold here and I want to visit so much. Hugs to you both! -celia
