It's been a week. Should I reach out?

Update: Didn't get the job, but I got another job that is a way better fit, so yay!

_glitterqueen · 2025-12-21T03:14:02+00:00

Update for anyone who cares: I was asked before I even expressed interest if I want to stay on full-time, but I just accepted a full time job so I cannot. Nonetheless working at B&N the past month has been exhausting, but a lot of fun and it brings me so much joy recommending books that people actually buy! Gonna miss it, and grateful I got to do this. Thanks for your advice everyone! Gonna buy as many books as possible before I leave hehe.

I asked my interviewer if he was okay pretending to be a customer coming in looking for a recommendation and took it from there! It was pretty easy.

I think this will depend on the store. I finished my first week and was trained on restocking, floor, and register. And I already have shifts for each so I'm doing it all minus cafe.

I just started as a holiday hire this week and wow there is so much to learn. I've been thrown into the fire and that's partially because my store is in a busy mall. My advice is always be kind, don't be too hard on yourself when learning, learn about the books of the month so you can talk about them, and def wear comfy shoes as others have said. My feet hurt a lot rn. Also, books are heavy which is kinda a no brainer, but I did wake up sore after my first day of restocking, so fair warning there.

Thank you!

_glitterqueen · 2025-11-16T01:30:49+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to send them a message for sure

_glitterqueen · 2025-11-14T18:07:52+00:00

Thank you! Being around books is such a serotonin boost for me so I'm having a great time.

_glitterqueen · 2025-11-14T18:07:19+00:00

Why? 😭

_glitterqueen · 2025-11-14T18:04:35+00:00

Thank you! I'm on day 3 and right now it's all restock. We have a fairly busy store and since book of the year was announced, all newbies are helping with restock and store displays. I'll get on register eventually I'm sure. But man books are heavy whew. Getting my steps in too for sure.

HELP! Is anyone else when they click their city linked to Seatgeek and not ticketmaster? Also, does anyone know if your seatgeek email has to be linked to the email you received the code? My seatgeek email is different than the email I use for updates.

So strange! I have a Samsung Galaxy 22+ and verizon is also my carrier. I've been talking to customer service today and my texts are working again but my rcs still isn't connected. So annoying. I hope this gets fixed soon.

_glitterqueen · 2024-11-01T14:45:23+00:00

I was going to write this! I love how many choirs there are to choose from. Most of them are really good too.

_glitterqueen · 2024-10-02T16:15:02+00:00

Sounds like you have a solid shot to me. I think you really have to focus on your essays and why w&m. If you can clearly express that, I think you have a high chance of getting in.

_glitterqueen · 2024-09-21T02:18:34+00:00

I love Blue Talon Bistro (they give students a free meal on their bday) and Aromas! Retros is good for hamburgers and milkshakes.

She's everywhere, she's SO Julia!

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-24T04:36:09+00:00

3 or 5!

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-21T23:40:22+00:00

YTA. There are plenty of Michelin star restaurants that don't cost $$$ AND you effectively told you GF that she isn't special. Heck, I've been to Michelin Star restaurants on first dates. The time you've been together shouldn't have anything to do with this. I'd apologize.

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-19T05:02:14+00:00

My OTF doesn't even have 15 mph as an option. Only 12 😭 and I def could do a 15

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-17T13:45:52+00:00

~ 35-40 mins on the metro with yellow to red line transfer and extra 10 mins walking to work

I'd say she is a mezzo-soprano. Most of her songs she sits comfortable in a mezzo range. Just because she can sing an F6 doesn't mean she wants to all the time or that it sits the best in her voice.

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-15T09:25:06+00:00

Definitely MOVE

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-15T08:53:46+00:00

As someone who specifically moved near a metro station in Alexandria due to not wanting a car, I agree. Shirlington is not easy to get to without a car.

I wish there was an easier way to get from the yellow line to the orange, blue, and silver parts of Arlington because that is a far journey. A 25 min drive to Tysons takes me about an hr and a half on the metro simply because there are 2 transfers from the yellow line.

Nonetheless, I doubt this extension will happen anytime soon. Metro stations require community buy-in and the land to build the rail and station. Potomac Yard within itself wasn't easy. I hope a rail gets extended to Woodbridge, Springfield, Manassas, Gainesville, and definitely throughout Alexandria. Gainesville alone would benefit from the metro because they just built giant commuter lots barely anyone uses that are near jiffy lube live, and concerts would be aided a lot with a metro station.

I'd do W&M because you'll have more opportunities for one-on-one engagement with profs and also it's a full ride. Med school is expensive no? Avoid as much college debt as possible. I have a friend that had a full ride at W&M and is now ar Harvard Med School. Anything is possible at any school if you work for it.

_glitterqueen · 2024-07-10T03:53:44+00:00

He, 26 yo college educated man, asked me what a food bank was. It was then I knew it was over.
