Coming up roses

Happy Thursday! What a nice week this has been, on the whole. Weather's still good, Doctor Who is still good, built some good dinosaurs in Minecraft. Gonna be getting a decent amount back from taxes.

Let me tell you about Fry's.

I was going to apply there, I really was. I have an application all filled out (and dated - last month) but I never got around to going down there. The other day my parents went down and skulked around, came back with a fresh application and a tip about an opening in the Computer department.

So I go down, just to hand the application in, maybe talk to the guy if he's there. He is, turns out he's doing interviews at that very moment. I wait my turn, I'm the last one there.

The interview was a quiet one, two parts me waiting around and one part him explaining what the job would be. When I did say anything, it was largely about how confident I was in my ability to sell. After my third chunk of waiting, he took me in to talk to the store manager, who basically just asked if I wanted part- or full-time, I said whatever and he signed me up for full-time.

Then I left and drove out to the drug-test clinic, and once they get back to Fry's, Fry's'll get back to me and let me know what time to come in on Monday.

I don't know if it's just me, or actually, I don't know if it should be this way, but sometimes things just seem to be too easy. I thought job hunts were supposed to be hard and take forever and be soul-crushing. Never in a hundred years did I expect to walk out of there with a job, not on my first try.

It's going to be crazy different, and probably a lot harder than I expect. But I'm trying not to think about it, and let it just happen how it happens. Not that I don't care what happens, but whatever does I'm just going to have to deal with it, because this is what life is. If I do well, then I'm pretty much set for a good long time. Level up.

The crazy part is that I'm already working six days this week at Blockbuster, and if I do get full-time at Fry's I'll be doing five days there next week...and the other two I'll be putting in back at the old storefront. So basically, as of this Tuesday, I'm working at least 13 days straight, and beyond that indefinitely.

$$$ I feel so mercenary these days.

Oh! But also the other morning I baked a cake for tea time. :D
