Just stand right…. there. Yes. Behind the shrubs.

My weekend was a little… rough.

I worked at the car show and picked up three things: 1 – a cold, 2 – a reminder of why I hate customer service, and 3 – a desire for silicone implants.

Stop looking at me like that.

Let me explain.

First, I picked up a nasty bug from a fellow employee. Now I have to cough, sneeze, and hack through all my interviews… oh wait. I don’t have any. Whatever. I still hate being sick.

Second, I was chewed out by a 70 year old salesman who told me, “You know nothing about life. You know nothing about supporting a family. You don’t know what it’s like to owe people money. You are a stupid kid” because his customer didn’t buy a car and he felt I was responsible somehow. I’m still not sure how my company scripted line of, “Hi! Welcome to the car show. My name is Rebekah. Let me introduce you to John. He will be helping you today. Have a great afternoon!” resulted in a car sale loss.

But, umm, I’m not going to lie. The fact that he grouped me with the cute 20 something’s I was working with was flattering… so I let him run his garbage mouth for 10 uninterrupted minutes.

Third, after working 2 hours with 3 gorgeous girls who I had at least 5 years and 5 pant sizes on, I was moved to work in a section behind a giant ficus. Let’s not wonder why I am now holding 8 pamphlets from doctors who suck…literally… and also install ‘plastic’.

Too bad I’m dedicated to no new debt.

Speaking of that debt… I’m still paying my bills timely thanks to the odd jobs. I’m not making huge progress like I want but I’m not falling behind yet.

I’m STILL looking for a job.

It’s funny how my job hunting views have changed…

Week One: Applied only at jobs I would be excited to have
Week Two: Applied only at jobs I would like to have
Week Three: Applied at jobs I could stand
Week Four: Applied at any job including circus elephant pooper scooper and customer service

In better news, the ‘big box’ store hired me for nights and weekends.

I start Friday.

I hate being the new girl. Maybe I can dazzle my new co-workers with my wit and charm…

Riiiight…

Maybe you will just have to save up for the silicone instead of going into more debt. :)

Your 1-4 weeks applies to almost everybody. Things will change, keep you heads up!
