Composition II (Unit 3)

At first I was going to go with the suggested topics since I am no fun, however I found something I might be able to write about that could be half-way interesting.

A day in the life at Victoria's Secret.

I will start off by saying, and some of you already know this, that I am the only guy working at a Victoria's Secret with 40+ girls. There are all sorts of stories and exciting things that happen throughout most business days. This particular day was just yesterday, July 26.

The man that came into the store was visibly out of his element. He was wandering around aimlessly with 3 kids in tow before on of the girls asked if she could be of assistance. I was asked to assist the female associate that was helping him - not sure why, maybe because I had that "male point of view." Anyway, the gentleman was looking for lingerie for his fiance and wasn't sure of her cup-size. He began to explain that it was, "a handful," while holding up his fingers-stretched and slightly cupped, as if he was grabbing something. When the female associate said that she would not be able to get an accurate measurement from his hand, he pulled out his phone and began searching through the pictures. The man then showed an adult picture of his fiance to me and the other girl, hoping we could get a good measurement of her cup-size from the photo. Floored, I said, "Sir, I think you'll just have to find out her cup size or just bring her in."

Still recovering from what had happened earlier in my shift, I was near the dressing room placing bras in the drawer-sets on the floor. A woman peered her head around the corner and said, "Sir, do you think this looks sexy?" It would have been much sexier if she was 100lbs lighter and 20 years younger, but I told her that the bra she was wearing complimented her, and I would get another associate for assistance. I then ran off before she had a chance to respond.

Two years ago I was getting out of the military. I had no idea any of this would be in my future...
