This morning at 10 AM I will start my new career, allegedly as a paint mixer/sales person at Home Depot. I expect it to be part time at first, but my goal is to try to last at least a year and to learn as much as I can about retail sales. Why? Because I want to write about it on my blog. That’s it, pure and simple. The question is: to Facebook the posts or not? Time will tell. I’ll add more this afternoon.

1:45 PM – I went, I saw, I am pleased. Everyone was super nice. I filled out some paperwork and just got notified via e-mail from the security company that I passed my background check (phew!..nah..I was never worried..but still..??)

So what happens next? I go for my ‘orientation’ with one other person at noon on Saturday and after that I’ll get computer system training for a week, then shadow the gal that runs the department for two weeks. It was clear they don’t just throw you out there on your own at this establishment! The store is clean, well organized, and fully stocked. I’m excited to say I shall soon be part of the Home Depot Jupiter store family.
