Remainder

I don’t know if I want another job or not. I’m getting hours at work, but who knows when I’ll get less. Retail is pretty unstable. And I’m always a worrywart about money. Plus, I’m pretty sure my car is dying. On the other hand, I hated working all the time, and it barely felt like it was worth it, I’m not sure I want to go back to that. I fear if I go back to two(real) jobs, I’ll be too burned out when I do have free time to make use of it. I’ll also go back to school at some point, which is either a reason to not have another job, or even more of a reason to work now, so I can save up and quit when school starts.

I have a date, supposedly, kind of next week. A girl I’ve been talking to on and off on facebook and myyearbook. I’m treating it as a hangout, but she’s complained before about always being the best friend and not the girlfriend or whatever, so I assume she wants a relationship. If nothing else it’ll be another person to hang out with. Going for sushi and perhaps something else, I want to avoid the movie idea, too cliche. Maybe mini golf or going to an arcade or something. She’s kind of a nerd, so it seems reasonable.

Ended up leaving the entry again to go do stuff. I have an app now for KFC at any rate. Might as well apply, it should be pretty easy to get in since I kinda know the manager and Kayla will get her to hire me. Even an extra 10 hours a week would be swell. Plus, I just bought 25 bucks worth of Magic cards. D’oh.

I had something insightful I was going to say before, for the other entry, but it’s slipped my mind. It’s more of the same rambling otherwise. Time is going by fast, getting old, hate being broke, etc. 

I hear nothing but bad things about the assistant manager at work, both from people who are there and my friend Torrey, who apparently was fired because of the asst. manager, but she seems nice so far. Our supervisor called in sick today, so we were just working anyway, because, you know, that’s what we do, and she gave us gift certificates for working hard, I guess. Only 5 bucks, but still, I think that’s pretty cool. I busted my ass for most of the time I was at Circuit City and only got yelled at by managers. Anywhere else I’ve been I’ve never been complimented or promoted, other than perhaps Castle, I got good reviews there. I’ve been at JC Penney a month and have already been transferred to a better team and somewhat rewarded for working hard. It just seems so…well, weird, to be rewarded. I know the company doesn’t actually care about me, or anyone else, but they do a much better job of promoting the facade than anywhere else I’ve worked. Even Castle, and there were like 15 stores in that company, so it was pretty small.

Train of thought is definitely disrupted. I’m going to end this and sleep, yes…

Hope the date goes well. Good call on not going to the movies; I never understand why people choose to go on dates there, in a place where talking is inappropriate.

You should try a restuarant that has a Lent menu… like my store needs to hire a couple people for Lent and carry over in to the summer… just because we get THAT busy during Lent. Just a thought… I don’t know what KFC does as far as Lent and fish… but I’m sure their sales must go down on Fridays because of Lent… Our sales SURGE. Just a thought.
