Now that I have a job I'm not exactly unemployed anymore but this doesn't exactly mean the search is over... so now it's Day 1 of finding another job?...
I'll think about it.
So today I had orientation at Old Navy. It was about 5 hours of filling out paperwork, watching cheesy videos, and learning rules and policies. There were about 10 of us newbies and I was probably the oldest. It was cute hearing some of the girls talk about high school and how excited they were to have this job. I thought I should wait a few days before I tell them that school doesn't get them anywhere except for a part time job at Old Navy at 31. I don't want to crush their spirit so soon.
Before the orientation started I walked around the mall. Nothing was really open and my plan was to sit in the middle where there used to be big comfy chairs. Surprise! Santa's Winterland is being set up. I ended up in the food court watching the old people that walk the mall, teenagers getting ready to wreak havoc in Hot Topic and then I saw two guys dressed in that all too familiar blue Sears auto-shop outfit. It brought me back to the days of when Zac wore that outfit all the time. I decided to start heading back to the other side of the mall when I passed the main entrance to the theater that was closed and sitting directly across from the movie entrance was a guy sleeping away his waiting time wearing a grungy green sweatshirt with a death grip on a huge empty popcorn container. I don't blame him, movie theater popcorn is delicious and deliciously bad for you!
I'm excited for all the people watching and silent judging I get to do! Like one kid was wearing a beanie and had those butt plugs in his ears. And all I can think is that he has to have lice by now I bet he wears that beanie all the time and his head gets all sweaty and bugs are crawling around making babies and then they get to his ears and eat all his ear goo and then go into his brain. I know stuff doesn't work like that but it amuses me. Another girl was wearing a red and black flannel with grey leggings. Luckily for me and my eyes, she had the body for it but still it looked like she was wearing her long johns to work. And by luckily for me....no I'm not a lesbian...yet...but what's worse than a skinny girl wearing leggings with a top that barely covers her butt is a chubby girl wearing that same outfit. The outfit really should be banned along with Uggs and rainboots in Arizona.
Oh and a story from my ladies that lunch event. One of the ladies is in the process of paying back a payday loan she took out some time ago. She found out there is some sort of insurance or something that you can get while on unemployment that keeps creditors from making you pay or give you some sort of grace period. Not really sure how it works but the point is that she had to get extra paperwork and have HR from the old job fill out a portion and then there was some waiting period of 4 weeks before she could take it to some agency across town. So she got the paper all filled out by HR and this past Thursday she went across town to the agency to give to them so they would have it first thing Monday morning. When she told the lady at the agency why she was bringing it in early the lady told her they couldn't even accept it since it had been dated already, the paperwork shouldn't have been filled out till after the 30 day mark. My friend asked if she could just white out the date and the lady said no, she had to destroy it! The lady printed out new paperwork and gave the sheet to my friend who now has to wait till Monday to go back and get the HR people to sign the paper and make the trek across town again! That would suck!
