View Full Version : I'm semi-unemployed!

I start my new job tomorrow. It's as a cook in a big chain of restaurents in the city. It's only a winnipeg thing. But I've never been a cook before, and I swear, this place is super disorganized.

The lady I was supposed to be meeting for my orientation last tuesday wasn't THERE when I got there, so a random worker showed me around the back of the store a tiny bit. I got no uniform, though they took my size for one. The girl told me I'd get a call from the manager a few days before I was supposed to start. The whole thing took 10 minutes.

Fast forward to today, saturday. No word from them. I call, ask what's up. It's been almost four days. She says "You start tomorrow at 8." All I could think was "Wtf? What if I hadn't called? When were they going to tell me to come in?"

Anyway, I've never felt so unprepared for a job in my life, but I'm sure it'll be fine. It's only part-time. I hope I can get more hours, I never really wanted to try balancing two part time jobs.

Maybe this should have gone in rants or offtopic..? I don't know. I only put it in here because generally the only people I care to read about it hang out here mostly.

Part time work = half a job. D: Noez http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

But yeah, wish me luck. Lots of timing and stress and stuff I've never had to worry about before and I'm a little afraid. <_<

try not to spam this up TOO much, guys <3

Goood luck!
I am sure you will pick it all up quickly. :>

Well, "half" a job is better than no job at all, definitely, and you could still look around for other things while you're at the job you have, still gives a bit of cash flow while leaving you open to other things.

And yeah, I remember hearing about the lack of the proper person to show you around before, that sounded really weird and disorganized, but this other stuff's kinda out there.

In any case, you'll do well, I'm sure. And if it doesn't work out, I'm willing to bet about now that it's their fault, not yours ;P

I'm afraid I'll want to kill everyone. I'm generally good with people.. well, as I said to mix earlier:

<mix> you can be like
<mix> "I'll get you a side order of ASSKICKING"
<Maridia> I wish
<Maridia> I'm no good with customers
<Maridia> i mean
<Maridia> I'm polite and friendly and cheerful
<Maridia> but in my head i'm like
<Maridia> *swearswearswear*DEATHTHREAT*SWEARSWEAR*ASSKICKING *

I might also be being trained as a waitress too, so, augh. <_<

Thanks, guys. x.x

It would definitely be a pleasure to have you as a server or co worker I'd say.

So get accustomed to the other weirdoes who work there and get a good vibe going.

Then people will help you out when you need it, unless they're bastards. Then just shrug it off and or move on.

Go Mari!

Note "go mari" put into google turned up this dolphin from a .jp website playing soccer. AWESOME.

Good luck Maridia http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

Don't worry about dealing with people, my first job (cashier) was based on dealing with people, and I did fine. And believe me, I hate the general population http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif.

Sounds like you are in rough time at first, since you need to get use to everything and how things work.

But after the first few weeks it probably be a breeze and you get the handle on everything.

Goodluck Mari.

ALSO UR GON FAIL

Nisshoku
Mar 12, 2006, 09:37 AM
That's because Scrub, it's a simple fact that we live in a material-based world these days. And in order to acquire said materials, is a little thing called money.

As Mix said, even half a job is better than no job at all, and that's true. In a way, having a job shows for a part that you can be self-sufficient.

Good luck on your first day of work, Mari.

I think you need to realize the slight irony in this.
Reread all your posts, and maybe you'll realize just what it is you're doing.

Good job everyone.
