• Got a new job

  Hey all, I’m back from moping. I found another job that’ll have me, only five minutes from where I live. I won’t say where because I don’t know what their blogging policy is yet, but it’s a “department store” formally known as a -Mart.

  I had applied for a loss prevention ad online about three weeks ago. For those not in retail, think “store detective.” I never heard back from them about it, but a couple days ago, I got a call and the lady wanted to offer me a cashiering job. Let’s just say her tone did not convey the idea that she was interested in me working for her company, or maybe she just hates her job, or maybe she was just tired.

  To me, cashiering is a death sentence. Standing in one spot, hour after hour, dealing with people and their squalling spawn is NOT my idea of a sanity saving good time. But hey, it’s a job. I agreed to come in for an interview.

  In the course of the interview I asked when they put out the stock and when I learned they did overnights, I asked if they were hiring for stock. Long story short, I went back a couple hours later to interview the the stock manager. So I will be working overnights starting sometime after Saturday. I have to go in Saturday for four hours of orientation with “bored woman.” She didn’t even bother to introduce herself. I still don’t even know her name. lol

  I’ll make a dollar more than minimum wage, but the hours aren’t guaranteed. It’s part time no matter what, but I have no idea exactly how many hours I’ll get and apparently it will vary. Could be two days a week, could be three or four. I can survive on twenty hours. Twenty-five to thirty would be better.
