Wow. Busy week for me! And it's still not over... I have tomorrow morning to work, still ( Read more... )

I doubt anyone remembers the asbestos incident at Penney's I posted about back in November, and I know I haven't posted about the other crappy things that happen there on a regular basis, but today is just another example of exactly how badly we need JCPenney to admit we need a new store building ( Read more... )

Well, last week was bad. I was sick and my laptop never worked (I ended up returning the damn thing after I spent five hours over a period of two days talking to four different customer support technicians and they finally told me they couldn't fix the thing and to just return it, and a few emails with Amazon.com support later, I was told they ( Read more... )

Today was my first day as a teller. I started orientation on Tuesday, but today I actually started training. It was... kind of a relief. Orientation was boring, of course, but it was also incredibly overwhelming. There's so much to learn, and they weren't really explaining much. Just going over generalities. And using lots of acronyms I'd ( Read more... )

I got the job. I can't believe I got the job. I really, really wasn't expecting to get the job. In part because if I'd thought I'd get the job, I likely wouldn't have been able to convince myself to apply so I very pointedly thought I wouldn't get the job, but also in part because I didn't think I'd get the jobI didn't think I was incapable or ( Read more... )

And naturally, having complained repeatedly about my tedious life, I'm now (figuratively) biting my nails. Mom showed me a want ad for a part-time bank teller last week, and I talked myself into applying. And what do you know, but today I set up an interview for Thursday ( Read more... )

Well, so far, mine has been... eventful. All around eventful! I got up to go to work as usual yesterday, and it was a pretty normal day until just after 11, when I smashed a finger against the corner of a metal bar (a clothing rack, actually) and promptly passed out about a minute later. Probably the most embarrassing episode yet. I think the ( Read more... )

The job is still going good! Despite all my unwavering skepticism, one really does get used to getting up at 5am. It's completely and utterly weird. But one does get used to it! I long for weekends like mad, and last night I went to bed at 8pm--8pm! Really!--but I must admit my dad wasn't lying ( Read more... )

It's the second day in a row I've had to get up at 4am (which despite only being an hour earlier, is so, so much worse than the usual 5am), and I just ran out of cappuccino.

Today sucks so hard.

...though the new job isn't awful.

Sometimes I hate my family dynamics. I mean, really hate them. Sometimes it's cute when they forget to tell me things, or assume I know about them. I spend 90% of my free time sequestered in my bedroom. How am I supposed to know about anything unless they tell me ( Read more... )
