SoundBlast RaeRae Rave Zero Omega Twistyd Zero Omega Twistyd I hate unsecured hours, it really ******** up your ability to plan for s**t.

Try being Starbucks Manager. domokun gonk I was a kiosk manager, used to work at a Starbucks inside of a Safeway/Vons. Crazy s**t nonetheless. gonk Try sitting in a chair being bored like crap all day while drinking coffee at city hall, that's horrible and it makes your brain freeze. burning_eyes Crazed, hormonal, horny teenage moms AND their children. My job trumps all of yours. xd

I know I'm lucky to even have a job because of the unemployment rate, but still..this just ******** sucks.

Streamjumper iBarty So...we're supposed to be getting that foot of snow today. My mom doesn't think it'll happen, but who knows. I mean, there was a year when we had a really bad ice storm in April and the power was out for days. It's possible, so I guess we'll see. I kind of hope it does because then the buses will stop running and I won't have to go to work. But, on the other hand..if it does snow and it isn't a lot I'll have to go. I'm just..dreading next week. I don't have one day off unless you count the Sunday coming up. The week after though, I only have like 12 hours. It sucks, but the 31 hour work week makes up for that I suppose. But still, why can't she just schedule me more eight hours instead of spreading it out to four or more every day. I'm really getting pissed off with the closing shifts too. I'm getting sick of it all. I want to quit, but I can't... The unemployment rate is really high right now because of all the businesses closing in the area ******** to bed now. I'm still keeping watch out for other jobs but..no one is really hiring here. My mom says to wait another month or so and they probably will. Take a look at temp agencies. Not only do a lot of them have part time but regularly scheduled positions as well as full time ones, but some companies just flat out pay temp agencies to handle their hiring for them. Also, you'll have the chance to try out a few different types of job and build experience/find out what you really want to do/try new things. And even if you just get stuck in some temporary light industrial job, you'll at least be building a good job work history and pulling in better money than you are right now. 35-40 hours a week of 9-10$ an hour has gotta be better than what you're getting now.

LunaInverse So, I'm driving home from work this morning, and my Check Engine light comes on. I calll Stream, and he tells me to go to this auto parts store and have them use their diagnostic machine to see what the problem is. I get a little printout and everything. Now, to find a mechanic. The place I want to go to is booked up (they're good, that's why), so I try the Firestone that's nearby. I hand the guy the slip, and the counter shark tells me that the slip doesn't tell them anything, that they need to run a full diagnostic and it would cost $109. eek WTF!? I smell a scam. So i went home because I worked all night and am very tired. My poor car... crying

At least in retail I'd get paid more and maybe get a discount.

RaeRae Rave Exactly, so why not get a discount and better pay on top of it? wink Kids these days only think about money, where is the quality service? *coughs* We had something at work once, I was talking with the security guard a while ago and someone came in that wanted a new password. That's fine and all but he couldn't identify himself, which basically means we can't help him, since we can't give passports to people that can't even prove they're really who they say they are. The guy started screaming and yelling at the lady who was trying to help him on the other side of the table, never seen something like that. Apparently our service wasn't good enough. confused
