My first 'unofficial' job

Last Friday I got my first "unofficial" job. LOL. Where am I working? What am I doing?
I'm working in a clothing outlet called SAN OUTLET, as a sales assistant. Its a totally voluntary, unpaid position but so far my first day on-the-job was satisfactory.
Of course it helps that my "mentor" is Manju and my boss is Akila Aiya. Its fun to work with friends. But to be honest with you, its a lot of work and I am learning a lot.

My first day at work kicked off by rearranging the clothing displays along with Manju. We put the new purchases in front and moved the older stock to the back. This included having at least one of each item hanging on the racks. Then we tagged the recent stock purchased and put them up for sale.

Afterwards it was waiting for customers. Since this was a newly opened outlet we didn't expect much customers. Further as publicity was according to Akila aiya was 'nil' the shop owners were depending on word-of-mouth promotion. We did get one customer though so its not too bad.

So how was my boring day at work??? BORING. But it was a new experience and as all new experiences go I had an emotional high after working. Bet this wont last. But while I can I might as well learn as much as I can.
