Just a quick up-date on me...

Post by PatchOBlack » Wed Dec 19, 2012 8:56 pm

I know I haven't posted a lot in recent times. Before it was because I was feeling a bit down because I was having troubles, employement-wise. However, this month, I've at least at some seasonal employment at Sur La Table! It has been going pretty well. Hopefully, this is the start of something good...

I know just where you're coming from. I was having employment troubles myself. For reasons I will not go into I got termed from Disney a few months back and never heard back from the union about my grievance of the termination. Well, today I interviewed for a job at The Home Depot and got the job! Hopefully I'll start soon, when they get the results of the pre-employment drug screening back they'll call me.

Here's to employment!


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Cashier as that's where I have the most experience. According to the manager who interviewed me they like all their employees to start at cashier and be there about 6 months or so then move around the store from there.

Don't go for the plumbing department. I bought a hot dog at the stand in front of the Home Depot. I ate it and then entered the store. About ten minutes later my stomach really started churning so I began looking for the restroom.

Did you know the toilets in the plumbing department are for display purposes only?

Clean up on isle 6! That would explain why I couldn't get them to flush properly! The moral of the story, don't get a job there as janitor. :p:

Don't you know, you have to go to Sams Club for the hotdogs, not Home Depot.

Discounting convenience, there is a place here called J Dawgs that has the best hot dogs I have ever come across, and I know mystery food. Absolutely amazing.
