I did want to wish all of my friends (yes, and family) on here a Merry Christmas!
just because I'm a Scrooge this year is no reason not to at least do that....
I'm going to combine this with a little update, so if you want to know more, read on...if not, have a VERY Happy New Year! (yes, that would be the only holiday I'm really celebrating this year it seems :rofl)
So yes, as Ran said in her previous comment, I got the job!:notworthy and I start on Monday in the Management training program for Firehouse Subs
Needless to say this will be a bit different than most jobs I've had in recent years!
I do have management experience, and lord knows tons of experience with reports, managing the day to day operations of a business, etc...just not in a fast food setting :scared I am interested in seeing how different it is working on this side of the counter goes though :lol
OK WhiteTiger, per your request, I'm updating dammit :bite:chtounge
first off, the 'everyone keep your fingers crossed for me' news...I have a second interview with Firehouse Subs on Friday for the management program! :red
I'm also going to be working with M's step-dad to help him get his own business off and going...on the technical side...webpage, database, business cards...that sort of thing...his partner is pretty much screwing him out of a lot with what they're doing now :angry
other than that, not much going on here...except it's COLD!!!
Dammit, this is Florida, it's not supposed to be cold!! :uhoh3
something is seriously screwed up in the universe :fdup
so much for that...:cry
I got a call last night that told me the place didn't think it was going to work out...no reason, just not...
Then she said they had said something about me being to 'abrupt' on the phone with the customers.
Odd, since the lady that was training me to do her job (who is retiring) said I was being to nice :confused11
It was very unexpected...my first day we were all (my supervisor, the one who's retiring, and me) standing around talking about how we don't 'job hop' and my supervisor said something about once she finds a place, she's settled, I mentioned how much I would like to be able to do that here in Jax (since all who know me know I pretty much had the same job the whole time I was working in OK, and they'd still love for me to come back) and she told me she thought I had, how well she thought I was going to fit into the office, etc...
I must say they're a lot better at deception than the last place...not that I think that's a good thing :sad but at least then I saw it coming...
So back to stressing out and looking :scared
:trumpet
:WootI GOT A JOB!!!:woo
yes folks, that's right, first job interview I went on today after losing mine Friday...I got it :happydance I start tomorrow!!
:thumb:bounce:group_smile:groupwave
I'm a bit excited...think it shows?? :red
as if I didn't have enough going on in life, Friday the place I was working at saw fit to have the agency I was working through (no, they couldn't even tell me themselves) call and tell me I was no longer working there...nice huh?
not that I didn't see it coming, I had been given the heads up a few days before by someone outside my department...but I was still very upset...even though I had been wondering since my old boss left, I guess I don't have to do that anymore now, huh?
so enough of the pity party...I was cleaning out old emails today and came across this, I'm sure She has already posted it on her site, but with all my friends and I have been through here lately, I wanted to remind them what they mean to me...
