getting started....

today, the day after our 7th Anniversary, I finally started this blog. Been thinking about it for a while.
We have been here since the 1st week in November-about 6 weeks.
I miss my kids, Matthew and Amanda, my granddaughter, Rebecca.
I miss my Kroger
I miss my Target!!
Living on an Island is different from what I expected. We have visited here for about 9 years so we kinda knew what we were in for...
Coffee-$13 for 1lb 13 oz
Milk $7.00 gal...
Rum $7.99 1 liter so we drink rum...ha .. just kidding however we do drink some of each and waste NOTHING!

I decided to get a part time job while here to pay for my beverages at least...... soooo with retail in my past...and there is lots of shopping here, no brainer...well got the job at a national chain retail store and shall remain nameless...they are very serious about sales....VERY. Even though this is not a career for me....I have to sell, add on and check email accounts like there is no tomorrow....If you get the email, the shopper gets an email with a discount code from time to time....When business is down, and the daily numbers are not met, the manager decides to not let anyone know there is a special that day *unless* you have the email....God forbid anyone hearing that...so my effort to obtain email addresses can be futile.....
Speaking of my part time job...gotta run..working my 4 hours today.

start from the beginning in next blog
serious in sales..V.
