I’m currently in job land and seeking to harvest more jobbies. So here’s an update on the job search status. I completed one of my goals while I stay here in Washington, which I think I will be shortening to October 9th if I do not hear back from a real job that allows me to use my degree. I did get the job at Macy’s, but I didn’t get a chance to interview for the position I thought I was being interviewed for, which was the Beauty Department. I instead took a Flex Associate position that allows me to pick up any open shifts on the Macy’s Employee Web site. I thought this was pretty cool at first, but I was then told that I have to take weekend shifts because that’s when they have their sales. So I worked there from August 5th to August 17th. I got a nice chunk of change in between those 12 days, but I really didn’t like working there. I always felt like I didn’t know what I was doing, and I was expected to know what I was doing even though no one really trains you once you get out on the floor. So I filled out the little “I quit” paper and was done with Macy’s. I haven’t officially started my other job at Bed, Bath and Beyond, which sucks because I wanted to get rid of the Eddie Bauer job in the Bellevue mall and just have one job. So now I’m going to call Eddie Bauer today and tell them that Friday is my last day and that I have been offered another opportunity or something. So then there’s that. I hope she doesn’t say something like, “You have to give us two weeks notice” or something like that, which I don’t think she will because it’s a retail job, and people quit those kinds of jobs without notice all the time. So I figured I would be nice and just call in advance, work my scheduled shifts of today, Thursday and Friday and be done. But then I’ll still have to go to the mall to pick up my last checks. I want to go home at this point because Washington is not that great.
