Today the store (Bead Rock) was closed.
Beth (my boss) , and john (a friend) headed to two wholesaler's in the city.
From 11 am until 5 Pm we shopped.
A lot of you probably think that shopping for jewellery and art supplies for 6 hours would be a blast..but ill be honest with you, its really not after the first two hours.
Beth will be leaving on vacation next monday for one week, we had to make sure we had enough of everything.
I really cant wait to see what happens while she is gone, it will be a lot of pressure on myself and a few others who help out with the store. but none-the-less it will be good pressure and a good learning experience.
After shopping and dinner we headed out to the creek so John could teach us how to pan for gold.
We didnt find any gold but we did find lots of quartz.
Plus we know the basics of gold panning now so were free to try it out again.
This week isn't going to be the norm;
Getting ready for Beth leaving
Setting up classes
Getting all the new product out
And dealing with my injury.
This was also the first day of the government program through Northern Lights.
They will be paying me $10.50 an hour for 30 hours per week, for 8 weeks.After that I will be doing an apprenticeship which has even more bonuses for both Beth and I
Another perk is that social services will be giving me a big hand out as well as an intensive to do well at this job.
Clothes, supplies needed to do the job, bus pass, and as few other random things.
I am the first person in Durham and probably the GTA who has a done a program like this for working at a jewellery store so its considered uncharted territories to them. They better chart them fast because im not waitin'!
