I know I posted here recently about a delivery job with a big delivery company.
To say the least, it fell thru.
They expected me to be ready to drive a box truck with minimal training, like about a half hour. No, that wasn't reasonable, or realistic. So that went the way of the Dodo bird.
I decided to apply at a locally owned small liquor store. I applied online. I had an interview at the location about a mile from where I live.
Sadly, they didn't have any openings for full time, however the manager there recommended me to one about 10 miles from where I live. I had an interview with the manager there, and she hired me on the spot. I stated the next day.
This is such a better fit for me. I'm working my ass off, and I love it. Today (as I write this) we had 2 enormous deliveries, and I was running like mad, walking like Fred Sanford at the end, and happy(search how Fred Sanford of Sanford and Son walked for a reference). My co workers like me. I'm happy, and actually making money working for a change. Heck, I've now got a line on getting beers from the hardest state to get beers from - West Virginia.
This is real. This doesn't seem real. I'm happy.
