So I got the transcription of my 90 day review at the new job today. Great attitude, always complies with dress code, friendly, polite, always willing to help, etc. so forth. Just fine, as suspected. Considering the amount of work that's actually required of me, doing poorly on my review would've been pretty damn sad. Night shift at the toll ( Read more... )

Well, I thought I'd post on a less dramatic subject for a change, being neither terrified of losing my job, nor really even upset in any other form. I'm adjusting well to night shift, after the first night it hasn't been hard to stay awake, blah blah, etc. etc. Job is fine, no complaints. It's boring, but I can handle boring now that I've been ( Read more... )

So I called the plaza manager today, apologized profusely and was told to just show up tonight, it wasn't a big deal. So I took precautions - I took Becca and the kids for an afternoon outing to find the mysterious and hidden 'Plaza 5'. Turns out that they unblocked the road today so it was easy to find. Last night I would've had to have treated ( Read more... )

So today was time to start the new job. Yesterday I went in and stood around, got fitted for uniforms, etc. so forth. (Working at the local toll road. Go me. ... Or not.) Tonight was supposed to start my first shift. (1opm to 6am, on my request) We thought we knew how to get to my plaza well enough. (I missed the plaza manager driving our ' ( Read more... )

Got a call earlier today from the temp agency that I'm working with. The toll road job I wanted is finally ready for more people, going to schedule a new training class very very soon, probably within the next week. So tomorrow I go in to get fingerprinted and then I'll probably be at the new job within a week. Not exactly two weeks notice for ( Read more... )

The shit has officially hit the fan. After trying to stave off war with Apostle since I came back from my loss of internet, I finally felt cornered enough to just say fuck it. And you know what? I still think it's crummy roleplay... and I still think this is some kind of sick grudge... but I told Apostle to go to hell... And haven't had this ( Read more... )

So I went to my final job interview today with H-E-B. Things went so well at the first one. I was sure I'd be able to get through the last. Would've been nearly a $2/hr raise on night shifts so Becca could've had an open schedule while she waits for the opening at groom school -and- it would've been 40 hours a week with the option of overtime. ( Read more... )

I'd intended to ask at the interview if the sales position I was applying for was purely commission based or it was commission + base pay. Of course, somehow that didn't happen. *mutter* So I have to call the guy back tomorrow and ask. If I'm getting a base rate + commission then it's all good. If not then we're gonna have a problem. So yeah ( Read more... )

Well, I've got an interview tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm. It's with a company that sells computers/office stuff and they do seem right up my alley. Not as big as say, Best Buy, but then, I've had a lot of bad experience with companies that -are- that big. So yeah. Interviewing for a sales job, they called me about two hours after I sent my resume ( Read more... )

Well, I'm writing this while I take a quick break from loading the U-Haul, just thought that since we somehow still have net here at the Gilmer house I might as well keep y'all up to the moment. We were in Austin from Tuesday to Friday, we came back last night and picked the U-Haul up this morning. We got the apartment and spent the rest of the ( Read more... )
