ew jobs

The week after burying Eridas' cats body, was thoroughly boring. With no steady job and all her friends at work, she decided to get off her arse and get a job.

Later that day, she walked down two streets and arrived outside of the music shop she had met Ashton at, 'Manny's Music Supplies'. She opened the door and was greeted by the tinkling bell and the warm air. Ashton came over and seemed pleasantly surprised to see Erida. "Hey Erida, what's up?" He greeted. "I need a job" she replied glumly. Ashton laughed. "C'mon out the back, Manny'll see ya" he said and guided Erida out to the managers office. Ashton stood outside the door to his boss's room. As Erida walked up to Ashton's side, she got a good look at the hall. Manny appeared to have gone all out on the music theme. His office door , from what Erida could see of it as it was covered in posters and stickers, was dark pine and the brass handle was accessorised with a tree shaped air freshener that smelt like pine needles. Ashton knocked on the door and a voice from within called "Enter if you dare." Ashton opened the door and Erida, after a nervous glance at Ashton, walked in. Ashton walked up to Manny's desk and said, "Manny, my friend Erida wants a job here." At this Manny looked up from the brochures he was holding and stared at Erida. "New recruits, eh? Come here, then." And Erida walked forward next to Ashton. "Age?" Demanded Manny. "20 in August" "Smokers status?" "Non-smoker" "Any music experience?" "Um I'm a musician. Guitar and vocals mostly, but I also play piano and bass guitar" Erida replied. Manny and Ashton exchanged impressed looks. "Alright. How good are you with people? Good customer service gets you a pay rise" said Manny, with a raised eyebrow. "Social butterfly" said Erida with a smile. "You're in" said Manny, giving her a thumbs up. "You'll be working at the counter, occasionally I'll bump you up to assisting customers if we're short staffed but counters your thing, got it?" Erida nodded vigorously. Manny smiled at her and clapped her on the shoulder. "Good luck, kiddo"
