I love my job

So today, I was just working in the Express Zone.

(It's where you just go to buy something quick - no need to meet with a Specialist to learn about the product if you already know what you want)

So, three people came up to me, knowing that they already wanted a MacBook Pro with the 320 GB HDD...

The specs aren't relevant...

Anyways, I am just saying... I didn't spend time helping them pick out a computer, I just helped them pay for it and pick a few add-ons.

Oh, BTW, this MBP was for a boy, who is turning 18 next week, for his birthday/Christmas present. (The two people with him were his parents)

So... After helping him set up his One-to-One membership, we had already developed a relationship/friendship.

When we were finished, they gave me hugs, and he was super excited to come in and start learning how to be a Mac expert.

Basically, this is why I love my job.

We get to develop friendships with our customers. We make people owners. We make them excited to become part of the Apple Family.

I love my job.

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Tomorrow is the good ol' Halloween and I am excited!

haha, not really. I had my fun last night. Steffany Chriss and I went out to dinner and to a dance dressed as a cowgirl and cowboy. I won the coin toss, so I got to be the cowboy this year. :)

I am waiting for the picture to be emailed, but once it arrives, I will be sure to post.

I had almost the entire outfit. I had a brown Royal Stetson hat, a brown cowboy-style button down, short-sleeve shirt, jeans with killer (cow-patterned) belt buckle, cowboy belt, and even a Winchester revolver (yes, a real one) on my hip.

All I was lacking were the boots (and spurs).

Maybe next year I can find a pair of boots my size.

I struggled for the title of this post for a wee-bit... hopefully it lured you in. :)

I finished my first 3 days of Apple customer support training today!

All day Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. (well, not ALL day, but 9-6 with 2 15 minute breaks and an hour for lunch. So 7.5 hours per day)

Good news, I had a

BLAST!
(Oh, and I got paid for training too. :) )

I love my life.

I just wish everyone could love their lives as much as I do. (I'm not sure if this implies that people have more than one life, but I sure hope you understand what I mean.)

Busy, Busy, Busybusybusy week

My life has been major-busy this past week (ish... it's probably been busy since the start of school, but busy is as busy does, as my momma always says.)

So... Story-time. Gather round your chairs, little-ones. I've got a great story to tell you. (This is a long story. It will take a few minutes to read. It's very detailed. If you don't have the time, but would like to hear the good news, skip down to the bottom. (under the picture) It'll say it as the caption for the picture)

A couple months ago, my wonderful friend Anyha, who works at the Apple Store (in Chandler) told me to come into the store, because Apple is hiring. I jumped right on that. C'mon, who wouldn't want to work at Apple, right?
So I made my way down there, and she introduced me to her managers, and I was all friendly and such. They told me how to submit an application online.

So I did.

This was probably back in the beginning of July.
