26 and dusted with snow.

I got fired. (Attendance thing...complicated. Still my fault.)

I'm not as upset as I probably should be. I loved the bookstore and most of my coworkers, but my boss and corporate caused a lot (A LOT) of stress, and while I'm nervous I also know things will work out. It does mean I'll be moving in with my lovely clockworkshadow sooner than planned, which

Yeah, because it's TOTES your fault you got SICK. Fuck them and their stupid points rules. Loki does not approve.

But hey. You. Here. Sooner. \o/

I'll take you to 2nd & Charles and see if I can get you an app at least from the store, and maybe we can get you a job there. They probably won't put you on eval right away, but cashiering and shelving is easy stuff for the most part.

Eval. is for all the stuff they get in, figure out what it's worth and what the store will pay both in store credit and in cash [which can vary dramatically, might be worth $80 in cash, but $130 in store credit, for example]. They'll probably teach you, if you ask, but I imagine shelving and cashiering is separate from Eval because I don't see the same people working both. So far anyway LOL.

And well. You'll just have so much LESS stress. *snuggle*

Well, some of my previous points coulda been avoided--being late, etc. But honestly some of it really was bullshit. Loki will have to have words with my ex-boss. With his spear. :D

Yessss, I'm so excited to be with you. <3

That'd be so great. I mean, I love cashiering, shelving, helping people choose books (ahhhh!) and all that stuff, though eval sounds really fun too. I hope they'll take me!

GOD ain't that the truth. Significantly less bullshit micromanagement in my life now.

When you don't have a car and have to rely on public transportation, lateness becomes harder to avoid. Personally I think anyone who has to take PT should be given a 20 minute window instead of whatever yours was. Seven? Bleagh.

That's because Loki is awesome <3

I am excite too! \o/

Yeah, I hope they will too! There's a few places around here we can try to hook you up with if 2nd doesn't work out, B&N, BAM, and I think there's another store around too.

Right? Life might just be a little easier. @_@

[flamingo_bandit]

Yeah, seven. Including going through security. GOD I'm not gonna miss that job.

He is rather, isn't he?

*snuggle* It'll be soooo good to be with you. :) And yeah, I mean, I don't have to work at a bookstore . . . I'll try everywhere tbh. Well. Maybe not everywhere.

Sorry about the job but damn jealous of you escaping winter... :)

[flamingo_bandit]

Eeheehee, I'm excited to not have to deal with three-foot-tall snowbanks, tell you that much.

[shinealightonme]

MN winter will follow you wherever you go. MWUHAHAHAHA.
