  • So, I got a job while half asleep.

    Buckle up, folks.

    I got to bed today around 6 in the morning (after a hard night of partyi-...actually, I was posting here. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ), thinking there's no way I'll hear from any potential employers during the day. Now, I know that the Boy Scouts say "Always be prepared", but I'm pretty sure a lesser known motto is "Don't stay up all night you fat bastard, because someone may call your lazy ass". Sure enough, after a solid 6 hours sleep (I usually get a good 10+, so I was freakin' groggy) my sister wakes me up saying a dollar store called me about making an appointment. And not the dollar store I was expecting, Dollar World. Oh no, the store I actually never expected to hear from, Dollar Tree. Apparently, money actually does grow on trees. Anyway, I get dressed in record time (and in a zombie-like state to boot) and head out to the store. We arrive, I head inside the establishment, and my sister walks two doors down to where she works (convienient, eh?) to hang out. To make a long story even longer, after about 1/2 hour chatting with the friendly District Training dude and signing various papers, I walk out of there with a job. As usual, as nothing can go normal for me, half-way through the process, the training dude left the little side office and an older black gentleman came in, sat next to me, said maybe two words, and starting eating chips. Had to have been his most uncomfortable lunch break in many years, it was hilarious.

    I really could have just posted "Hey guys, got a part-time job a dollar store. Later!" but that would have deprived you of my incredibly boring story. And who would have thought that a man who loves Edgar Allen Poe's work so much could author such an excruciatingly long, pointless post?

    WHO, I ASK?!

        This is my first job in nearly 6 years. I was working at a sports apparel store when I was 14. I imagine that violates a law or two, but we'll keep it our secret. I have some good stories about that place, too. (hint, hint)

              I got the job I have now 12 hours after I got out of the holding tank in jail. The job I had before that for over 3 years I got called while I was half asleep and said yes too.

                    I got fired from a Steak n Shake one morning maybe 10 years ago and drove down to Denny's and got hired on the spot making $1.75 more an hour...fukk that fat nasty ass bitch of a manager! I went off on her in the middle of the dining room during the breakfast rush. People were laughing at her and applauding when I got finished. It was great... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                      How DARE this be on the 2nd page?! I want this to be my mega thread, dammit!

                      So anyway, the manager hasn't called me yet to set up a training day or my schedule, so I'ma gonna call her up in a minute. I'll let you know how it goes!

                      A note on my name; As I said in the E-fraid section, I chose my user name after Shohei "Giant" Baba, Japanese wrestling legend. How this name applies to me, is; When my neice, Emily was very young, she watched the first Star Wars movie. After viewing it, she said that Chewbacca reminder her of her uncle Andrew (me). So, she started calling me "Anchubacca". After months of use, this changed to "Anchubaba", and later, just "Baba". Now, all my neices and nephews call me that, and because I'm 6'3" 320 pounds, and a big fan of Japanese pro wrestling, I go by the name Giant Baba on the 'net.

                      Thank you, please drive through.

                        That's a cool evolution of your name.

                        Just trying to keep it here on the front page for you.
                        Don't forget the corn. It's nutritious, delicious, and ribbed for her pleasure.

                            Thanks, guys!

                            OK, I opened up a bank account, 'cause Dollar Tree does direct deposit. I then headed to my new place of employment to fill out a few papers and to check out my schedule. When I arrived the manager had locked the office keys inside the office. She asked another employee to, using a ladder, vault over the open roof of the side office and retrieve the keys. As a side note, this employee is young, lithe, quite attractive girl. I watched her quite closely as she climbed that ladder, while pretending to not be paying too much attention. I wanted to at least make sure she didn't fall, and also maybe to check out her booty. Anywho, after she did her best Spider-Man impression and got the keys, I filled out the papers, confirmed a few things about the dress code and came back home. I start my new job at 9am (dammit!) on Tuesday.

                            My brother-in-law told me his boss plays bass, and wants to jam with me. So, all in all, I had a pretty cool day!

                              3 days without a post? I'm ashamed.

                              My manager forgot to ask me for a voided check to send in with my direct deposit form, so she called me in today to take care of that. After that situation was rectified, she showed me the store room. Crap. The floor is at least 75% covered, with some boxes stacked quite high, AND they're getting yet another shipment tomorrow. Should be fun.

                              I gotta get up at 7:45 in the morning like a bitch. I'm going to bed extra-early tonight, I'll tell ya that much. I give you guys a rundown of my first day sometime tomorrow, if I'm coherent.
