Job Update, Random Rant

,
I'm pretty sure i have the job. I've talked to the "hiring manager" twice now, and the "shift manager" once. They both appear to want me. According to the hiring manager at our "interview"
(his words) he would have hired me on the spot if he could have. However, the decision is not entirely his, and he has no access to any of the HR... um... Resources. And the HR lady is on vacation. Soooo... that means i need to call the HR lady on Monday (unless someone else gets ahold of me first). I feel good about this job. Here's why:
  • It is a medium sized store, i'd be working with about 15 people. (too few means drama, too many means politics... 15 is a good medium...)
  • It is right across the street from our apartment. This would save oodles of gas money.
  • It pays as much to start as Target did when i quit.
  • I will be getting oodles of hours to start, as they are behind in their stocking.
  • They KNOW about my school goals NOW.
  • Probably more... I'll think about it tomorrow.
Nevertheless, i haven't gotten the call yet. I have an understandably eggs-in-the-basket feeling right now. I haven't done much as far as job-search goes since my interview there. I know exactly what it is i will do if i don't get this one though. That is, if i don't go whacko and splatter my brains.

Now then, on to the rant. It's a lame one. I'd like stuff to go back to how it was... 5 weekdays and 2 on the weekend. Ya know ? Have stuff open on the weekdays, closed on the weekends. OK, have grocery stores and gas stations open on weekends. MAYBE restaurants. BUT THATS IT.

OR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYTHING OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK.

ONE OF THE TWO.

All of this grey area crap is annoying. Too much of this monday-saturday, or one set of hours for m-f, another for saturday, another for sunday. GOD ITS ANNOYING. Yeah business as usual. Mmhmm suuuure. Screw that. I say, do it old school or just be open 7 days a week, same hours, one of the 2.

That and the whole "You can't buy beer from 2am-6am" thing. THAT IS MY TIME. I'm writing this at 3am, ok ? Think about it. If i get up at 4pm, and go to bed at 8am (approx), that puts 2-6am cleanly at the end of my night. I mean, i'd like to be sipping a beer right now, and slip into bed in an hour or so. But i don't have any. OK, what now ? Grape juice ? Yeah, that's gonna get me a bit drowsy. Oh ok warm milk then. Freakin commies. Yeah sure, go buy the sh*t before 2am uhhuh ok. WHY SHOULD I JFNJFGNJK-ING HAVE TO ?!?!?!??

One more thing and im done. How do you spell grey ? I've always spelled it with an e. Always will. Shoot me.
