yesterday i went to a group interview session at lululemon, unfortunately located in our local mall. my first impulse is to make snide remarks about my fellow attendees. i’m trying to change those habits. there were 10 of us sitting on yoga mats in the middle of the mall, between jacob and town shoes, down wind of the juice bar, pointed at the perky store manager. i envied her. not just her adorable head of curls and thin frame but her impossibly positive outlook on just about everything and sweet, easygoing nature.
after an hour in our mall circle, i was surprised to find myself really wanting the job. i don’t like retail and i don’t like the mall but, and i cringe at the hokey-ness that seeps from this remark, but i bought into the culture. the whole idea of making physical fitness, goal-setting and reading books like ‘a new earth’ and ‘the four agreements’ a part of your work environment sounds perfect for me and in line with all these grand plans i have to improve my life. i think it’s the sort of job that could really help me realize these goals.
plus, there’s always the possibility of moving up in the company. apparently they’re opening more stores in the u.s. and are planning to hire some canadians to help with that. i’d like to be one of those. maybe move to some place like texas for a year. fall in love with a cowboy. raise some kids and horses on a ranch. what’s life without a little fantasy?
