Stupid, table of one.

Yeah, I woke up about half an hour AFTER the final test taking time at the Personnel board. That means I have to wait, at minimum, another week to go in and apply. And that means that I'm stuck in hell for another week, at least.

Target's application center (they have a little keyboard) wasn't working today, so I can't fill that one out either. But, the good news is that they're opening a new Fed Ex/Kinko store soon, bet they'll need help there.

I'm going to go and find something on my hard drive to watch since it's storming and the satellite went out.

You can apply to work at Target online. (I've done it before.)

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

ooo, thanks. I'll go do that now.

Fed Ex Kinkos would be great. Let me warn you, unless you're just looking at Target as a temporary place until you can get on at the library, watch out. I've worked for them two different times in my life--in my late teens and in my early 30s. That place is hell. It's Tarhell. They treat their employees very poorly. In other words, Like shit.

Oh, and don't call yourself stupid for missing that application time. You're stressing over the crap you're taking at your current job. Your body (and mind) probably realized you needed the rest!!

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Yeah, Target's pretty much just a stop gap for me. I'm looking to eventually get out of retail altogether, or at the least, into a specialized field where the people coming to me already know what they want.

I'd love to get on at Fed Ex Kinkos. I was very close to it before, but there were too many applicants for too few positions.

The Library is the job I really want. The one I'm looking at is working in the actual office of the library, instead of out there shelving the books. I'd be in heaven. Plus, you're working at a place where they don't care if you read all the time.

I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you and the library job. Take anything you can get there. Whatever it is, just get in there. When they see you're worth, you'll be a made man. Reading heaven!!! Is there a university near you? I think a university bookstore would be the next best thing to a library.

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

There is a university bookstore, but they almost never have any openings that aren't part-time minimum wage. Plus, I already work at one of the chain bookstores and it's utter hell. They treat their employees like slaves. Worse, like slaves they actively hate.

I worked for Walden's years ago, waaaaay before it was Borders. It was a Christmas temp job, but my god, I never was made to feel so completely worthless and ignorant in my life! We got in trouble for talking to customers, and then we got in trouble for being cold to customers. We were expected to unbox and load carts and shelf carts of books that would have taken ten conscientious who were also waiting on customers and running registers, three days. Well, hell, apparently they wanted them put where the fuck ever because every time a manager or an assistant manager would come in and see any loaded or half loaded carts, they'd go ballistic, in front of customers.

Yes. I know retail hell. I was also a Foley's employee trainer here in Houston. Hell, if I ran into one of the management team members from Foleys, I'd slap and kick them unconscious. Quite happily.

Oh no! But you will take the test next time. Best of luck with your job search.

A. We both are using Shakespeare quotes for our LJ. Cool. We're intellectuals. ^_^

B. Anders out by South is hiring. Either that or they just haven't changed their sign in six months. But I think they're hiring. And I think it'd be a fairly easy job at least until you get where you want. Every time I've gone in there, the employees have just been hanging around talking. And I can use your discount for college textbooks. It's PERFECT!

C. Want me to call you next Wednesday to wake you up?

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you. *huggles*

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

A) My quote is from a play I loathe.

B) Anders hires only at minimum wage. I can't afford to work for minimum wage anymore.

C) A wake up call would be nice, but unnecessary as I have to work that day.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

A. Aw, you hate Hamlet? I mean, I think everyone finds him to be a bit whiny, but seriously, you hate him? That's rather sad. He's spawned some really good quotes. I love my quote source material. Huzzah for Much Ado About Nothing! Benedict and Beatrice are the greatest Shakespearean couple EVER.

B. Oh. But now how will I get my college textbooks at a discount?

C. Ooh, Are you leaving early or just not working until late? And if you are leaving early, are you telling Jerry why?

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

C. I work 3-close that day, so the tests will possibly have to wait until a week when I'm off on Wednesday.

Gaaah, I'm sorry. It sucks trying to get away from the 10th Circle. It's like they know you're trying to escape and purposely give you a schedule that would keep it from happening.

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Well, miss promotion girl, you could hire me in at your old job. Or, alternatively, as your assistant.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

You don't want my old job, believe me. You get stuck doing everything that no one else wants to do.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

By the way, whatever happened to Petsmart?

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Haven't heard anything yet.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you!
