You've Got My Word On It! SuperAmerica Employeeeee
I never got that bookstore job. I was supposed to. I was actually the only person who qualified. Unfortunately, i didn't "qualify" because i have to come from a single parent family, or just be dirt poor to get a job at college. Why, that's nice...
I am overwhelmed.
I am overstressed.
I am overanxious.
I am in way over my head.
I am an "adult."
College:
So spring break was a useless piece of shit, and i would have rather not had a "break", because really all the teachers decided it'd be really hysterical to give twice the amount of homework, all of the teachers except Rebecca, i'm gaining more respect for her... (compared to the others)...
Here amber, go buy $8 transparency film so we can put it in our projector that we never use in class, or at any other time considering the amount of dust and sadness of the machine. Here amber, go shoot this assignment on equivalent exposures, and depth of field, and everything thing else you already know. Here amber, go write a paper on the same design element that you're proving you know by your shooting assignment. Here amber, because you don't like essays and spoke out about it in class, i'm going to assign everyone more work, i think it'll make an example out of you. Here amber, just fucking quit coming to class because i, your professor, am the biggest moron ever to be teaching in a college, and i don't like that you're different. It's also your problem if you can't turn an assignment in on time. We don't take into account that people have lives, and people need family, and people also need JOBS to PAY for the WORTHLESS EDUCATION i'm giving you.
Work:
I filled shifts at the Tin Shed because two of the three most entertaining people quit. Why did they quit? Well because Mike, the owner, is a big fucking asshole entrepenuer. And Fuck him too. I "quit" in January.. however, because a manager, sue, is just a sweetheart, i told her i'd be a standby driver, and fill in when coworkers can't make it. Mistake. Mike boosted the delivery fee to $2.50 in an attempt to make his drivers more money... however, this doesn't work because 80% of people think that the 2.50 is a portion of our tip. And not to mention america's economy is doomed, so people tip less. FUCK SPELL CHECK PROGRAMMERS FOR TELLING ME AMERICA IS SPELLED INCORRECTLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT CAPITALIZED. So i work at the Tin Shed, Thursday + Sunday 5pm to 10pm. Sometimes i get deliveries, sometimes i don't, same with tips. If Mike wanted his drivers to stick around, he'd pay us $7.50 an hour, and drop the fee entirely. Instead he just wants more money for his already overpriced food.
I filled out an application for Super America gas station the same time i "quit" the Shed. In the middle of March i got a call back from the distract manager of SA. I got an interviewed. For some reason he wanted to "continue" with me. From there i sat in a little room with fake wallpaper and no clock watching videos on Super America/Speedway policies. Such as Why and How to ID someone when buying alcohol or cigarettes. Duh. Such as, the YOU HAVE MY WORD ON IT, and FAST FRIENDLY AND CLEAN. LMFAO. Also, a 10 minute video on the products that make shards. And how to log such transactions, and how much to sell to whomever within a time period. Okay. That's nice. I work at the SA a few minutes from my house in Savage. My first two days of training were entirely overwhelming, and was done by the assistant manager, Scott. Scott is awesome. He is like Tom Green combined with Heidi LeMay, and Shaggy from Scooby Doo. My third day of training i met my real manager, Chris. Much more strict, and much more manager-like... however, it gets to be a little much sometimes. It fucking sucks, but as the over night fellow, Jake, who started around the same time as me says, "You have to start somewhere." I don't think i should be at SA, but i need money for three important things: College Tuition, Gas, and Photography. I obviously don't make enough money driving my car with pizzas in it, so making coffee... monday through friday... 6am to noon... with college 4 days a week, is how it has to be. Keep on keeping on? It'll get better? Yeah, okay... i want YOUR prescription.
I was going to go off on all the shit i have to do...
but we'll save that for another day,
on account that i've been up since 5am, i have class in a few hours, and i have a tedious paper to write.
