Worn down
I have gone to one job interview so far, and haven't gotten any other calls yet. It's early still, but I'm looking at filling out another wave of apps to go out.
I looked at the Kinkos app for "Center Production Operator" (aka counter drone) and suddenly felt really depressed. I don't want to do this sort of work. I've always hated it, and here I am applying for it. Again.
The interview was with See's, and upon reflection I'm going to turn them down. It's a union shop, and they want a few hundred (paid over six months) to start, plus they expect to take $30 in union dues a month. Given that the starting wage is $9.90 an hour, I have visions of being enslaved for six months while I pay off the initiation fees, in a job which I may or may not like. Then I have to fork over $30 a month from my $1000-1500 a month job, where they're only going to guarantee me 20 hours a week between three stores. Doesn't seem worth it, somehow.
But that does leave me without any other bites. I'm starting to lose my resolve again.
