Will Anything Happen - Shop Assistants

** Will that happen? **

Advantages: Good idea
Disadvantages: Actors, director, music, special effects

•• INTRODUCTION •• It happened that one day I was walking with a dear friend when we saw a multiplex; we thought it could be nice to watch this movie... the last show began five minutes later, so we quickly bought the tickets. Sure having as a director the same who directed "The sixth sense" and "Signs" seemed to be a good "business card": two well-done movies, with the right suspence, I really appreciated. Moreover we both would like to see it... Well, it hasn't been a good idea. •• THE MOVIE •• Central Park, New York, a day like all the others. Suddenly all the people in the park and near it begins to behave in a strange way and to die. They immediately think at a terrorist attack with some kind of toxin and the first post-mortem examinations confirm in the bodies ...

The Happening?

Advantages: Good start
Disadvantages: The rest of the film falls tp pieces

Confessions of a Shop Assistant

Advantages: You meet nice people, lots of time to think, pretty girls in short sportswear, these kind of jobs are very easy to get, management don't usually have the intelligance to question it when you decide to pull a sickie.
Disadvantages: Boring, soul-destroying, mind-numbing work, stupid customers, ugly women in short sportswear, everyone else has pulled a sickie too, so you have to go in anyway.

there were, on the whole, a fantastic group, and they made the job bearable. Certain members of management towards the end of my stay were complete, well, let's just say NOT a fantastic group, and were part of the reason for my leaving. The thing is, these shops will always employ students, because, by and large, students who are forced to work there are desperate enough to do anything, and that is also why JJB's pay structure is so shoddy. The job of a sales assistant is simple: stand around, look pretty (easily the most difficult part of the job for me, not least because of the STUPID blue uniform we had to wear. It looked like the shop was staffed by Smurfs), politely field stupid questions from stupid people ("Where are the shoes?" "In the shoe section." "Where's the till?" "Just directly in front of your face, madam"), and generally ...
