Well, I may have just gotten an on the spot job offer

[smileyeagle1021]

Well, I had an interview today, not really for a job I really wanted, it's full time, but only $8.50 an hour, which is a huge decrease from what my last job was (like $2 an hour decrease), but it's $8.50 an hour more than I'm getting now. While I'm there the manager asked me when I could start, and I said, I'd love to be able to start Monday, and she replied, I would too, but HR won't work that fast.
She then said as soon as HR did their paperwork I could start orientation and that I should hear from them on Monday or Tuesday.
Is it just me, or does it sound like I got the job?

Sounds like you've got the job to me. Yeah, $8.50 is kinda rough, but as you pointed out, it IS better than nothing. If they're that eager to hire you, I imagine that there might be a pay raise in the future. In any case, congratulations and good luck with the new job!
