Given that I am always looking for new work, I feel like I should pay a little tribute to the work I do now.  To most people, it's just manual labor, but for shopaholics like myself, it is manual labor of love.  Let me tell you more!

Have you ever walked into your favorite store to find that things you always buy are never in the same place?  I am the person who moves all that stuff.  There are lots of reasons I do that, but from a worker's point of view it is the opportunity to see and touch things that nobody has ever touched or seen in the retail setting.  I get to see it straight from the factory, I get to open it first, and I get to place it neatly amongst products already for sale in our store to surprise you with novelty.  And I get paid (rather poorly) to so lovingly arrange for you a display that will make you want to buy....something.

So let's begin.  I've already made one round through my particular space so the cycle is about to begin again.  There is no rhyme or reason to the direction I take through the sales floor, only that a new set of resets begins every quarter.  At the moment, I am enjoying the lull before the storm, so my first post here is actually just a quick intro.  Next week, me and my team start up new, and  I'll start posting photos of all the crazy shenanigans I get into, all the paperwork I have to wade through and all the new stuff waiting for you when you go shopping.
