About a month ago I actually started working for Big Lots in town. It's a great place to work, but not for only six hours a week. I know that finding a job is extremely difficult in today's economy, but I am thoroughly sick and tired of working in retail. Last year, I worked at Carter's and Black Friday was horrible. As much as I didn't want to work at some store this year, I put applications in everywhere I saw and it just so happened that BL liked me and hired me. Now my job at BL is completely different than any job in retail that I've ever done because all I do at BL is stock. I work two days a week at three hours a day. That's a whopping six SIX hours a week at $0.50 over minimum wage.When I hired in I was told that I would get at least 10-15 hours a week, but no.
So I started at BL the week before classes started and it's worked out pretty good, but man I wish I could get more hours. Or at least I did wish I could get more hours. As of last week, I started putting applications in at temp agencies. Monday morning I got a call with a job. I am now the temporary employee of a factory here in Cadillac. I will be working fifth shift (yes fifth) which is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 7pm to 7am. I have absolutely no idea where in the plant I'm going to be, but as long as I don't miss any day and work my full 12 hour shift I'll get 4 hours bonus pay so I'll get paid for 40 hours and only work 36. I'm excited and nervous. I've never done anything like this, but I am always searching for knowledge.
Well, while I wait for Miss Bug to wake up I'm going to continue enjoying my movie. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. NERD!!!!
DFTBA
Don't Forget To Be Awesome!!!
