Sad Halloween

Halloween 2009 sucks.

I closed today and I open tomorrow. My boyfriend is out partying, my sister has probably been drunk since the crack of dawn, my parents and Angel went to a Halloween party and went trick-or-treating, and I had to work. A lot of associates went home early because they were "sick", and it just so happened that it was mainly moms with young kids at home or our younger associates who wanted to go party.


Today is really haunted.

• We didn't make our sales goal nor did we hit our loyalty for the day, week, or month (today is end of week and end of month)
• The lights in the men and men's shoes department kept going out
  
• USC loses BIG TIME to Oregon and Cal almost lost to ASU

Another sad Halloween goes by. I actually have not celebrated/partied/gone out for Halloween since my sophomore year in high school. I've either had to work or I've had midterms to study for or work on for the next day. I guess I'll get to enjoy Halloween when I have kids, if at all...

Halloween sucks... I hope Angel at least gives me candy.

1st Assignment: Young Mens and Juniors

Today I got an official offer from the Assistant Store Manager, to become the group sales manager for Young Mens and Juniors beginning on October 12th. It wasn't what I expected, I didn't have to sign anything and we didn't discuss salary. It was a quick one sided 5 minute conversation. I shared with my juniors staff that I will be staying with them and they were excited. I also spoke to the mens GSM to arrange a time to walk the floor and discuss employee opportunities.

CAL v. USC Weekend

What a tomato filled weekend.

Statistics:
Last time Cal went to the Rose Bowl: 1959
Last time Cal won the Rose Bowl: 1938.
Last time Cal beat USC: 2003, 34-31 in 3 OT's
It's looking like 2009 is not the year for Cal to beat SC or go to the Rose Bowl.
Cal lost with an embarrassing 30-3 final score.

Besides losing - the rest of my trip to Berkeley was fun. Even the drives up and down were fun, they were probably my favorite - getting to spend time with the guy in the red shirt! (and counting tomato trucks)

Thank you so much Evey and Adri for letting us stay at your place! You guys are so kind!

I got a chance to see my sister, my roomates, and my friends! Although the tailgate made me feel a little old, it was nice seeing everyone again!


After the game, on our way to Evey's and Adri's, Jon and I passed this house with this sign outside. It was too funny, I couldn't resist not taking a picture! Go Berkeleyans!

Tightwad Hill was definitely an experience, although Jon and I do not ever plan on watching the game from there ever again, we definitely got to at least experience it! This was the 2 year anniversary of our love tailgate when we met for the first time.
My faith is still alive and I'm not giving up on my Golden Bears. We can do it. We'll do it. We'll beat USC again, sometime.
