One of the good things about this new job is all of the shopping that I get to do for it. I needed a whole new wardrobe for my new job.
When I worked in the plant, I wore Nomex (those fire-resistant jumpsuits) and steel-toed boots every day. I had one suit and a couple pairs of khakis to my name. I wore sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts or tank tops underneath my “blues” everyday. I had no slacks and just a few nice shirts that fit. How in the world was I going to manage to work in an office with that kind of a wardrobe? I would have to wear the same thing every third day!
So, after I found out about the job I talked to HH. I explained the situation to him and surprisingly he understood. He told me to go and buy whatever I needed to get me started for the new job even if it meant we had to take the money out of savings. I immediately went out and went shopping. I got shirts, slacks and of course…SHOES!
I know that I will have to do some more shopping and I should have done it all in the first place since I had my shopping pass from HH but I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty about spending all of that money. I hate feeling guilty over shopping. It is one of my favorite things to do.
