It's got to be karma; hands down, it has got to be karma right now. Work at Moe's has been the shits. I've been screwed out of hours ever since I asked for a reference for the Student's Union bar tending position; first I was getting next to nothing for hours, now I'm getting no hours and I get bull s**t reasons for it. So I've kind of had it; I've been applying around for other jobs, hoping I'll get something come September. I've tried the call center, and I'm still waiting on it, and I applied at Coles today. I could have walked out with a job, too, if I wasn't going to Michelin for the summer. I should be happy to have such a good summer job, but I just can't move beyond that I could have had the job at Coles.
I wanted it, desperately. What better job for a book worm English major like me than working at a book store? It would mean money for rent and a staff discount! And, it would mean no more Moe's; no more replacing staff, or filling in for Dominic when he goes to play curling for four months, no more late nights because students are pigs and no more being on the front line and taking attitude from students who have no idea what goes in to feeding them for a meal. I've worked retail, and it's no picnic either, but it would be nice to not be a supervisor for a change.
The good news is is that she's going to keep me in mind for September, in case they need any one; they keep resumes on file for six months, and she wants me to pop back in when I get back in the fall to refresh my face in her mind. Fingers crossed that they'll be needing someone and that I get the job then. It's a long walk from home, but I'll cab home at night; it would be well worth it if I can get a steady 15-20 hours a week.
Life's not all bad right now. I had an awesome weekend home for Easter, watching movies with my parents and just relaxing. It's been my first break from papers since February, really, and it was so nice to know I didn't have pages upon pages looming over my head. I have exams to get through, but it would appear I'm finished working for the year, and there's only three of those with loads of time to get ready. I'm not worried, and anxiously looking forward to graduation.
