Work and stuff
So I'm now working at Kohl's and at Circuit City. I still <3 Kohl's more, but Circuit City gives me more hours which I NEED. Even though I still feel like I have a lot to learn, and really, especially the past few days, I just have the urge to QUIT, so far I need and it's going okay so far.
However, new positions have opened up at Kohl's. I applied for the 2-7 position, since they needed THREE new ones (two left for the military and one closed up her availability quite a bit, so there was immediate NEED). However, I was DENIED because of absences from A YEAR AGO when I wasn't driving and had to depend on the crappy cab system. Soooo mad about that. Originally I wasn't, but the more I think about it the angrier I am. Two of the girls who got the position I'm happy for, I think they truly are good at it. But the third one I'm unsure of. She's new and I've met her maybe TWICE, she NEVER runs register that I've seen, and I have my doubts. Maybe I'm being bitchy about it, but I can't help but think she has MY position. Last night I was told that the managers have full confidence in me and they truly believe I could do but for those absences. GRR! It's infuriating. Especially because now they need to take the extra time to train at least two of the girls in jewelry AND customer service and I already do both (as well as every other area in the store). So I'm kinda ticked now.
GRR.
However, I also applied for the newly opened Intimates Specialist position. I don't know what my chances are, hopefully good. No one else in the store seems to want it at all. It's guaranteed more hours, which I NEED. At least one of my supervisors thinks I'd be really good there (I haven't had a chance to talk to many of them yet though). So hopefully. I'm rooting. It'll be hard as hell to clean up the department and get everything straightened up and nice looking, but I'm confident that if I got it I could do it. Furthermore, I'm going to tell the managers in charge that if I DID get it, I'd HAPPILY quit Circuit City to give Kohl's more availability (because I'm SURE that'll come up in the interview, and it's true - I WILL quit there if it means more hours at the store I really like). Besides, I hate working two jobs. Even in weeks when I get very few hours from both places, I hate it - they always schedule me on the same days and it sucks.
However, if my fall plans go through I may not need to worry too much anymore anyway. I don't think I'm going back to school in the fall - why waste the money if I don't know what I wanna do anyway? I'm thinking about going to BOCES for phlebotomy (CNA perhaps as a back up though), and finding a job doing that. I've been considering a career in medicine right along, and that's a good way of maybe getting a foot in the door and seeing if I really like it. So we shall see.
Overall, though, now I'm tired and I'm gonna end this. Gotta get up early for Circuit City (blaaaah) and then to the library for research (blaaaah) and then home for a long day of homework. Too busy these days!!
