The Hunt for Red

As you know Chris and I have been looking for summer jobs. I have a great job during the school year, but during the summer I am unemployed. I did get a part time job at Kmart. I went to my first training yesterday, 5 hours of sitting and watching those really fun videos. Who knew you were supposed to TALK to the customers? You learn something new everyday. All joking aside, I really am grateful that I was able to find a job.

Anyway, I thought the Kmart shirts were provided for you. But low and behold, they are not. You need to wear a "Kmart Red" shirt and black pants to work everyday. It can be any time of shirt really as long as it is Kmart red. I thought, I have a few red shirts at home, this will be fine.

When I get home, I find out they are not Kmart red, but maroon or another shade that would not pass at Kmart. We wouldn't want the customers to get confused. So Chris, being the wonderful husband he is, came out to find some shirts with me.

We started at Ross...nothing. Then we hit Shop Co. I actually got a cute red sweater there but other than that one sweater not a single other Kmart red item. I was avoiding going to Kmart to shop since I am going to be there all summer but we decided to go anyway since they are sure have to have Kmart red. But guess what, they didn't!!! We get 20% off if we buy something we can wear to work but there was not anything red at all!! I am not even being picky but there was nothing!!

Lastly, we went to Kohls. This is where Chris came in and helped a ton!! He found a ton of red!! All on Sale!! We found a shirt for $3.60!!! Then we got another one- buy one get one free and he found a pair of black pants for $8! Who knew he would be such a good shopper?

Two and a half hours later we came home with 4 red shirts, actually we bought the same two shirts twice, a sweater, and a pair on pants. Now tonight I get to train on the register!!

I know this wasn't the most fun entry possible but I am trying to get into the habit of writing on here. Thanks for reading!!
