Christmas is happening with a bang: resistance to buying decorations, tree decs, cards and presents is futile - people just can't help themselves. Personally, if I bought stuff now I would forget where I'd put it by Christmas (and, in fact, have done just that in past years) but I can't complain about folk operating on the see it and buy it policy.
When we first opened the shop we comfortably managed to have only one person running it each day. I'm glad to say that those days are gone and we usually need one and a half and two at a time at weekends. I'm normally here 6 out of 7 days, Jules does 4 days and Mel does the weekend when she's not teaching. Sean's appearances at the shop are now fairly rare as he has lots of other things to occupy his time. Our daughter, Connie, is the oldest 8 year old in the world and would love to be behind the till but she is obviously too young. Our son, James, who's 18 would rather drive rusty nails in his eyes than work in the shop: it obviously does not suit his tough, rugby playing image and anyway he has the perfect excuse of being away with the Merchant Navy for the majority of the time.
Anyway, as I'd really like to spend more time with my family, does anyone know anyone who would like to work for 16 hours a week in our shop? Incentives include lots of free tea and coffee, free sampling of all new cakes, beers, spirits and body products and some great conversations with customers from around the world!

I'd love the job but the 4 hour hour, one-way commute to work sort of makes it a no go. Anyway I'd sit there wishing I was out on the fells on the good weather days :-)
ReplyDeleteTalking to others I can only imagine that in the current climate you will be swamped with people wanting the job. Round here you have to be quick to get in before they stop giving out application forms.

ReplyDeleteWOW Louise, what an opportunity! A part time job in The Lakes is my dream one day, and your shop must be such a great environment to work in.I love it in there! But alas, the legthy process of re-locating from Worsestershire is a little way down the pipeline. As Angela says, you will be swamped with an offer like that! Hope you find the right person. Andrew
ReplyDeleteI would love to take the job!
