OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH GOD OH GOD, the CEO of Pier 1 is coming to visit all the stores in California.  So sometime next week he'll be taking a tour of my little workplace.  "Oh, no!  That's horrible Gina!  How will you ever get the store in an acceptable condition?" is probably what you are thinking, but alas, those petty worries are not on my mind.  Rather, I am freaking excited about this because our CEO happens to stray from the typical image most hold.  He is British, has very pale skin that matches his hair, round blue eyes, and the most creepy/uncomfortable smile I could ever imagine.  The videos he films for our training and occasional meetings make me squeal with delight; watching him awkwardly stare at the camera and speak in breathy British tones just really lifts my spirits.  I so hope I'm working when he's there.  Or better yet, that I'm off and come in pretending to be a customer, then really talk up the store and it's employees (a sales lead named Gina to be exact).  This could be good.  This could be REALLY good.
