No more overnight internets for me!
16 years ago
I got a new job! WOOT!
Friend at work casually mentioned that his sister does hiring at this factory ('production center') that's like AROUND THE CORNER from my house. Like literally, it takes me 2 minutes to get there...if that. I've been thinking about looking for a job there for almost as long as I've lived here (1.5 years), and suddenly here's this guy talking about how he can just make a call and get someone hired. I LEAPED on that shit. Seriously as soon as I got home from Vegas (Monday, the day after really, the 1st) I called the guy, he said, "Let me call my sister, we'll get you an appointment." Next day he called me back and said, "Can you be here at 9am tomorrow for orientation?" I was like SHIT YES! Silly thing is, it's a temp company, but they do the hiring into the factory job specifically. No biggie, but that just means they have to find that opening in the schedule during my available hours (graveyard shift). Almost had it that day, but alas no call. But ONE WEEK later, she called and said, "Come in tonight at 9." Done deal. I started one week ago yesterday. Wed, June 10, 2009
The job is great. It's exactly what I wanted to do...stack boxes all night. And I'm fully serious when I say, that's what I wanted to do. Problem is, I discovered that I am expected to work 13 days straight with one day off. And that means working at 9pm on Saturday and every other Sunday. BOOOOOOO! Well, I went through one weekend of it, not so bad. But still, that's gonna suck for the summer. Means I can't do any theatre for a bit. Also means that I won't be online when I normally would be, which doesn't matter THAT much, but I thought I'd say so.
Ramble ramble....I'm gonna end this here. Other good news to come...if you're listening!
