My means of some small miracle, I got the Asst. Supervisor position at work. Nobody knows yet except myself, Amanda and Tim, being as it was their decision. Amanda said they're telling the rest of the shift this Thursday so "everyone will have the weekend to stew and get it out of their systems". Not terribly comforting, I hope nobody gets pissed off- not that it's my fault I got picked for the job. I signed up fully expecting to not get it- in fact I only signed up because Tim told me I should. Not that any of the guys seem to be the type who would have a problem with this, I hope none of them are irate at being shut out of the position by a woman. They have all always treated me as an equal, a "one- of-the-guys" type of thing, but people are irrational.
The best news about this is raises! As soon as my training is done I get a .50 raise, and another after 90 days if I prove up to scratch. That'll still leave me under $10/hr by a little, but also thinking ahead, my Christmas bonus next year will probably double and I'll get a better raise on my next year review in Februaury. Not bad at all.
I'm also attempting to pick up a weekend job- Billy and Cory both just got jobs at Foster's working Fri and Sat nights from midnight til 4 am. Granted, that's only 8 hours a week, but they started off at $9 an hour... that's an extra $60 a week after taxes, which is enough to pay my rent and still have my JSR paycheck for everything else. While it would suck to have another job cutting into "Mandy and Leo Time", which we don't have much of anyway, it would defiantely be nice to have my head above water... I'm running out of relatives to borrow money from, and I am oh so tired of being Caucasian Consumer Waste Product. To get out of my slummy apartment on that godforsaken street would be wonderful.
