Not Too Shabby
Well, I got up and took the long trip to that Wal*Mart for my interview. It went... surprisingly well, I think! Some of the questions I was asked had me scrambling for intelligent replies. It was a lot of example stuff- like 'what have you done that demonstrates this and etc'. I fumbled my words and had to take some time to think now and then, but I think I did well.
I had three interviewers- getting to the second took longer than it was supposed to because their computer system went down. Once it was up though I was good to go. They told me what I'd be doing and everything and showed me all the details, so I think they're interested at least! :D
The position is temporary. They're doing rennovations right now so they need extra hands. If I'm hired, I'll be unloading things and stocking items all around the store. The pay is $7.40 an hour, and I'll work five days a week with two consecutive days off. The hours are from 4 PM to 1 AM, so that's gonna cut a lot into some things I do in my spare time. :/ But hey- a job's a job!
Best part is that everyone was really friendly. I think I'd like working there. ^_^ The one lady who had me finish up with the papers and stuff even welcomed me to the team! She also said if there are no attendance problems with me and if I do a lot of good work, they'll probably keep me. Especially with the holiday season coming up.
After we finished there we went to my grandma's. Again she said we could probably work something out. After we left, she called us back with two requirements for me staying there- My laptop has to stay in the big house and I have to apologize to my father. I'll suck it up and do that last one, but I'm not going for the first one. If I'm getting off work at one o'clock in the morning, I won't be coming into their house when I got off work to use my computer. For one, I'll wake everyone up, but most importantly, it's mine and I pay for it. If I have to do something when I get home, that'll cause a lot of problems.
Anyways, another thing I have to work out is transportation. Getting to work isn't the problem, but getting home is. As I can't drive yet, finding a way home at one in the morning will be hard. The shuttle doesn't run at the time, and no one will come get me, I'm sure. Maybe I can find someone there to run me home for a little while. Until I can drive, at least.
I'm working on that problem too. I needed a valid ID anyways for my drug test tomorrow (for which I have to go back up there to do), so my stepdad took me to the DMV. He had to renew his license anyways, so it worked out. I didn't even have to bring anything this time! I have a valid permit again! Whoo!
...Though I liked the picture on my old one better. XD
So yeah- we're gonna work on that as well. Hopefully I'll be on the road soon. Can get a bank account as well now. Yayness. ^_^
I really hope I get this job. I think I'll do well at it, even though I'll be on my feet most of the day. And the better I do, the better chance I have to be moved up the employment ladder. I'm excited! I really hope all goes well!
