Job nonsense

Feb 18, 2006 14:39

One of the agents at work spontaneously left the office, and she sent out cards to those she connected with to say “so long” (just like in Animal Crossing) It’s sweetness like this that makes me like this office so much.

I’ve got a job interview for the market on Monday. They called to set up an appointment with me even though when I applied two weeks ago I said I’d call in the next few days, which I didn’t. The other job called me for a phone interview, and then to clarify which days I am available to work. I said I could make arrangements to work Sundays, not would. So if they offer me an interview, I don’t know what to tell them.

The other day I thought of a great way to gain work experience so it wouldn’t be so hard for Vince to get a job and it wouldn’t take so long for me to get a second one. I wish I thought of this in high school. For example, if Vince were to volunteer some time at the thrift store in Key Center, the experience he’d acquire there would equal to that of an employee at a market. And the fact that he volunteered his time is a plus.

If I had a car, I’d devote some time to help out at the thrift store, even the library. I wish I knew of something similar to this that Vince would enjoy doing as well as benefit from. I wonder if he could walk into Game Crazy and say, “Hi. I’m Vince, and I was wondering if I could volunteer some of my time here to build up my resume since I haven’t been employed before.” He could easily take the bus since there’s a stop within walking distance from his house. I’d be so much more active if the closest bus stop wasn’t two or three miles away.

Ah, so why I am choosing to take the part time job over the full time job? Because I don’t want to give up my current job; the people are great, inspiring, and appreciative, and I could learn a better variety of skills, and it’s more convenient, and I can still work overtime with my current job.

If I don’t get either job, I’ll be very sad. I may take up volunteer work, I could set my hopes on volunteering in the new health food shop when it opens. My goal of getting a car by April 1st will fall short, but that doesn’t matter because I’m not going to the concert like I was led to believe. If I can’t get a job in the area, then I’ll wait until I get a car. How sad and very far away.

Dear journal entry creator, get your permit. If the power goes out again, that is what you are going to be doing; studying. Stephen King will gladly step aside for a night. After all, he’s yours until March 4th.
