My third first day at a new job...

OK, you remember my last post, disregard that. I was aggravated mainly about the schedule, and the fact that my first day at work was looming upon me with little to no notice. Being the new person wasn't that bad considering that there were 7 other people who were there for the first time as well. Good news, I got off early today, better news I don't have to work tomorrow, good news, I am supposed to work every day next week.

Now for the fun stuff:

My first day was great!

Layout:
The registers are in sets of two's... like little sections that allow two people to stand next to each other while working.

Experience:
I chose to get the register next to the old employee, everyone else was too chicken I guess. That was good because I got to help do the more important stuff that the other people missed out on. What made it fun? Well for those of you that liked playing with the kid registers when you were younger, it was just like that but grown up style, and you are working with real money. Way better that Winn-Dixie where you scan it, you get to use the portable type of scanner where you press the button and run it over the bar code, the only other time I got to use one of those was when I volunteered to check-in the returned books at the school library. I loved it!

Friends:
I know one of my new co-workers, we went to middle school together at a tiny school with only 27 people, so I got to know everyone well. It was nice to have someone I knew there, and I made a new friend, Holly, within my first 5 minutes of being there. I also got to know a couple of the old workers, and I exchanged names with all of the new people too. The only hard thing is remembering the names.


Next, I think I am going to remove myself from the Latin waitlist, Spanish is sounding ...alright...? I START SCHOOL IN 213 hours and 30 minutes.

Dumb jobs...

OK, I am now 4th for Latin...still undecided as to whether or not I will take it.

I have to work Saturday from 9-6, and Sunday from 10-6. What happened to Barnes and Nobles not being open on Sundays??? I am not very happy with them right now. I don't think I want to stay with them very long, from what I have seen they are not very efficient in what they do, I mean really it ain't that hard...They have hired like 3o people for RUSH, and trained them all, and then when I completed training like they said, and at the first date that they offered to complete it, and I call (like they said to) to get my schedule, they say I am not on it, and then I leave my name and number and they will call back. No call, so I call them, and get the rudest person giving me the brush over and I just to find out my schedule the way they said to. So I call and ask to talk to my manager to find an explanation as to why I am not on the schedule, and to perhaps get on the schedule, and he says I have to work Sunday. Not cool dude. Not cool!
