MTC Clerks II
So as of tomorrow, I'll be working at a movie theater. My more loyal readers might feel as though they've somehow stumbled upon an internet-diary portal to seven years ago, especially since it's the exact same movie theater. But a lot has changed in those seven intervening years! For one thing, California minimum wage is now $8.00 (or will be, in January). Any attempt I might make to feel bad about this career choice can be nullified by reminding myself that this job, unlike the other recent potentials, actually called me back and offered itself to me after the interview. (Three hours after, in fact.) Also-- and I am not kidding here-- it's still the job I look back on with the most fondness that doesn't involve tweezers.
Oh, and it was strongly hinted that I will be trained with the intention of easing me into a supervisorial position (again, in January, when other supervisors leave) which would bring about a bit of a pay raise and slightly better hours. But I don't want to get ahead of myself and jinx it by mentioning it in writing. ...D'oh!
I am, in all seriousness, quite happy about this! (All prices are in taxless multiples of $.25, there's a Dance Dance Revolution machine in the lobby, and I could go see "Speed Racer" without paying for it.)
