  • Guess who got a jobby?

    That's right, folks! After 20+ applications and two interviews I have finally landed a job. Not the job of my dreams, mind you, but hey, a paycheck is a paycheck!

    As some of you know I've been trying to land an office job as an administrative assistant or a receptionist but no luck yet. I even had an interview at "Double-H-Short-Name-for-Gregory" but they called to tell me they hired someone with more experience (hey, at least they didn't keep me in suspense)

    So, though I was trying to escape the restaurant industry for good, I conceded to fill out a few apps. With my current drama (some of you may have read my thread in Life Advice) and two little new additions to my family, I decided I gotta do what I gotta do! So a national buffet style chain hired me as a cashier/line person. Cool. The job description doesn't sound too bad--and it's 55 cents more than I got paid at my last job. In fact, since I don't have to seat anyone, I actually have LESS job responsibilities than my old Merkin's job.

    After my interview the manager hired me on the spot! I start next week And oh yeah: the uniforms aren't hideous (yay!)

    Congratulations! It does sound like an improvement; I wish you no SCs for at least a few years!

    I'm interested in an office job too but around here it seems impossible to get one without college.

      Yes, "Merkin's" uniforms are kind of dumb. As far as clerical jobs, maybe a temp agency would be of use? You could maybe be available by day for that and work at the buffet at night.
