Times flying

Well...I'm just moving along down here. Work is taking up almost all of my time which is good cause I am no longer bored I am now dreaming of my days when I had no obligation! I am applying for the operations management position at work. It's basically the CEO of this location so I have a meeting with my manager today to see how that will look.

Auckland is beautiful and still blows my mind when I come over the hill and there is the sea right there! I absolutely love it here and am glad that I have made this decision to move here. The weather I can't say the same for but from what I hear home is pretty terrible too.

My flatmates are awesome and we jut got a new guy in so I am no longer the new kid which is awesome! I am making friends, working hard and trying to enjoy every minute before it leaves me!

Miss you all at home and love you so much. If you look up lululemon ponsonby on facebook you will see my modeling! Pretty exciting :)

Update

Hi All!

Just a quickie update on how I am doing.

I am GREAT! I have a good job, an amazing flat and awesome friends :) As far as work goes it is a huge learning curve that i am working my hardest at to concur and take over. There are a couple assistant manager positions that are opening up and I have my eyes set on one of those for sure. I had my first day yesterday and it went alright but i am feeling much more confident today. It is just one big friendly work party all day long!

My flat is amazing and i am changing rooms on thursday to the front one. It is going to be noisier with street noise but there are heaps of windows and there is a closet! That is a huge bonus because right now my clothing are getting dusty and are literally hanging out. We are getting a new flatmate next week too so that should be good to not be the new kid any more. We are having try-outs tomorrow :)

I am making some new friends through lululemon as well as through this Canadian girl Keisha. I am filling my time with new friends or yoga classes. I am extremely busy and am going to be signing up for salsa lessons on Monday nights this coming one. I am SO excited about it!

The weather is staying sunny but it is definitely cool. I think it was 1 degree last night which is chilly! Hopefully it stays nice and sunny and it can get dark and cool early just as long as that sunshine is out during the day :)

I hope you are all doing amazing and we will talk soon!

Expectations

So I got some more details on the job. I am starting at full time hours and me and another new girl, Kate, who are starting off as key leaders (supervisors). Alex, my manager, informed me that lululemon doesn't sponsor people to stay in a foreign country. With that, she told me that I will be managing a store in 9 months. She said that she has yet to work with me but knows that I will be able to rise up to the position and she will help me get sponsored if I am in a management position. So thats cool :) Other then that I have to go on a shopping spree of lululemon clothing but i get 60% off my first $300 every month so that works out to being like a $1000 monthly spree!! Heres more incentive to come and visit me...if you come you will get presents!!

I am going to an All Blacks game tonight and am looking forward to that. Should be fun :)

Much Love

Work!!

I GOT THE JOB!! I am officially a key leader at lululemon athletica! That means that I have already bypassed the educator position which is just a sales person and am starting as a supervisor! So excited its crazy!!!

It's raining and a very good day to stay in so I was happy to have some great news to brighten my day!
