So business had been bad. Really bad. For example last wed. thrs. fri. combined, 3 full days total sales, total mind you not each day even, was...
ready
hold your hats
try not to be scared
$11.00
yup grand total there
Yeah, I know it could be worse, that could be a big ole goose egg. Or a negative number, sure. BUT, ya' can't survive on sales that small.
$3.66 a day average x 30 days =109.80 now subtract electricity, about $65, phone $35, rent $450......... hmmmm doesnt quite add up
SO
I've been looking for a part time job, not too far from my house. I'm gettin more n more skeered of driving in the snow. And.... a teller job opens up at my bank. Just down the street from my store! Woot!
I applied, a week later I get an email to do a 'virtual job tour' I do that, a week later I get an email we want you to go for an interview, a few days later I do an interview, a week after that(finally) I get a call.
" We can offer you $x an hour, you get 15 days vacation time,{what the hell is that? Aint been on vacation in over 9 years} 10 holiday days 2 floating holidays{holidays, i work on holidays now}Benefits, we'll mail you a copy of the benefits pkg.{again, huh? Benefits}..... Does this sound like something you want to pursue?"
{well isnt that why I applied for the dang job in the first place???}
So I say yup. Now they run a background check, then someone will tell me where to go for a drug test. {I know where to go, had to do that for the job at the school} Hmmm, they didn't mention fingerprinting. Had to do that for the school tho'.
so
in a nutshell
I got a job, full time!
Woot I CAN pay a bill or two now!!!
