So. I survived the Memorial Day sale. I also discovered that I have an intolerance to chlorine. Not quite an allergy, but so much for swimming and hot tubs. After work on Monday, I headed over to T's parents' for pool party fun. I don't like swimming in pools much anyway, so I didn't both changing into a swimsuit, but apparently just getting ( Read more... )

Well, the first day wasn't bad. Of course, it was mostly learning about SOPs and reading a bunch of crap, not to mention some paperwork. I get insurance...I'm still kind of surprised and very pleased about that. I don't really care about the health stuff since I'm rarely sick and the kind of health care I do need...well, there's a Planned ( Read more... )

Well, a better one anyway. I'm now employed at a used book store chain. The benefits are just amazing, not to mention a paid lunch hour and a huge employee discount (50% off most books, 20% off everything else). For once, my ( Read more... )

I really need to get out of this job. If I don't sell the appropriate number of these stupid credit card things to customers, I'll get a verbal reprimand. Which, potentially, means I could get fired over not selling a fucking credit card. Also, it's not doing anything for my health. There are days when I can't even think about work without ( Read more... )

We were supposed to start moving over to the house in Arlington by now and I was supposed to be settling in some time this weekend or next, but the current occupants, T's cousins, haven't moved out yet. They were supposed to move on getting a condo, but didn't move fast enough, so it fell through. Now, apparently, they've closed on a house. T is ( Read more... )

So I had my job interview today. The job is about forty minutes away from where I'll be living, which is much closer than my current job. My interviewer said that they were hiring both full and part time, so I'm crossing my fingers that I get the former. I don't really want to make the commute (I can shave off ten minutes if I pay the toll on ( Read more... )

I has a job interview! It's for a sales associate type position at a massage chain around here. A decent portion of the job is medical records-ish, so my six years of that should come in quite handy. It's a bit closer to Arlington than my current job and I really hope it's full time. I really don't care where I end up right now, I just need a ( Read more... )

I was just offered a job at Bath and Body Works that's in a mall that will be near where I'm moving to in Arlington. I turned it down. I'm sure it's better than my current job, but they can't guarantee X number of hours. I'd be working anywhere from four to thirty hours. Now, the latter is fantastic. The former, however... It won't even cover ( Read more... )

Wolf bought me comics! Not just any comics, mind you (though comics really are a faster way to my heart than flowers), but Tek Jansen comics! Did you know that there were comics? I didn't. Then again, I haven't watched the Colbert Report (or the Daily Show for that matter) since I moved. So I missed Jon Stewart's feuding. Boo. I'll have to ( Read more... )

Ugh. I'm really not liking work. At least it's only part-time. TNT are very generous and told me that I don't have to worry about paying for rent and utilities until we move to Arlington. One of my managers said something about a full-time position opening up in the near future, but I just can't bring myself to be hopeful about getting it. It' ( Read more... )
