Employed
My mom forwarded me a job posting for a package handler position at FedEx. After a couple weeks of calling the number hoping the recording would change and say they were hiring (updated every Friday), it finally did. The application process changed and now you have to do what they called a 'sort observation' before you applied. The recording basically said to be there at 9am to schedule one. I drove there (takes like 30-45 minutes) and all they had me do was reread the text that was on the job posting and then sign a sheet of paper to schedule the sort observation. It was actually later that night at 12:30am. So I drove all the way down there again and after waiting in a hallway with no A/C for a half hour we finally took the tour. The manager took us to the loading and unloading places and briefly explained what the guys did there. Then we left. The whole tour was around 10 minutes total. As we were leaving he told us to come back at 10am to actually apply. Drove down again and they just had us fill out an application online and it only took 15 minutes. These people.
The next day I was called to come in for an interview at 8:30am. I don't actually have any clothes suitable for an interview and I couldn't afford any so my parents lent me a bit so I could get a simple nice shirt, pants, shoes, and a belt. Lia helped me pick things out~ One other guy was there for an interview at that time and let's just say he made me look amazing. They had to do a background check so I waited the 5 days or so. They called me yesterday while I was hanging out with Nicolle and Lia and the lady offered me a job and told me to come in today at noon to fill out papers to get me in their system. :D!
Today we just filled out a bunch of paperwork and watched two videos about FedEx and stuff. My training starts tomorrow at 11:30pm. :) Hopefully I can make enough to pay for May's rent~
In other news, I got Pokemon Black when it released and it is amazing. I've also started playing Radiant Historia and I'm really loving it. It's similar to Chrono Trigger in that it's a turn-based rpg where you can manipulate time. Radiant Historia actually focuses more on the different paths you can take and has a way to keep track of which decisions lead where. The battle system is fun too. Everyone is on a grid system and some moves allow you to change an enemy's position after an attack so that if two monsters are now stacked you can hit both of them with a single attack~ Here's Stocke, the main character you play as.
