first days...

Aug. 15th, 2003 at 2:45 PM

so.

i call Michaels, and i'm working on wednesday, from 3 - 8.

AND

at Office Max, monday morning at 8 a.m.

which makes me SOOOOOO happy.

now to just coordinate the two.

and the only problem with OM, is that i need to get my uniform. kahki pants, navy shirt with a collar, and a belt.

ugh.

Congratulations on getting hired at Office Max as well.

As far as the uniform is concerned, at least you didn't get a job at Hot Dog On A Stick.

i also notice that now that i wear a uniform for more than 40 hours a week (cuz if i work at michaels the same day as office max, i just wear my uniform there and hide it under my apron), that now i'm finding difficulty in dressing myself outside the uniform!

one of my coworkers, todd, and i were talking on my first official day at michaels about how he and i, after long hard searches, both found two jobs, and here we are, sucking up both positions, when there are zillions of other people that are still unemployed ;)

lol. i thought about getting a job at office max down the street, since i've already worked at staples for a year and can do copy center or electronics and don't have to be stuck behind a register.

and then i realized if they pay me even $8/hr and i only 20 or 30 hours a week, i'm still not making much more than unemployment.

d'oh

I'd be happy with a uniform at my work. Having to wear smart trousers and an ironed shirt sucks. Give me a polo shirt and slacks instead! :)

one thing i'm discovering about wearing a uniform more than 40 hours a week (if i work at michaels, i wear it there, too, just have an apron on over it, and my shirt untucked, so it doesn't look AS obvious that it's office max attire), is that i'm having a hard time dressing myself in normal life anymore!

Congrats on both your jobs! ^_^ I have to wear a uniform at mine, but it's only khaki pants and a red or white polo, which I can deal with.

Good luck coordinating your schedules.

thanks, it's been hell to be sure!

now, just to MAKE office max allow me to get off work at 9 p.m. every day. because the last bus leaves after that, and my mom's boyfriend, who was giving me a ride home every night, his car is dead, and no one i work with lives in this direction.

so.

unless they do this, i'm fucked for a ride home on a nightly basis.

Hey Congrats!

At least the uniform isn't bright orange with a paper hat!

or the one they wear at hot dog on a stick!

although, working more than 40 hours in the same shirt and khakis makes it increasingly difficult to figure out what to wear out when i'm NOT working!
