Hired!

Woo hoo!

As of yesterday, I'm officially an REI employee! That's exciting!

You know, I wasn't really interested in working in retail and contribute to the general capitalisitic consumerism that has gripped America, but REI is kinda fun. I've never looked forward to job training aka trail maintenance like that before.

I also didn't know that REI was on Fortune's top companies to work for - for every year Fortune magazine has put out their list. Their benefits package is a pretty sweet deal - more so than their prodeals.

Funny - I've never gotten this excited about a part time job. Especially one that deals with selling stuff for that matter. But then again, I like to talk about climbing gear - it's a toy store for adults afterall :)
