New Job

I seem to be the type of person that really can't stay in one spot to long. As is true with the places I have worked. To me it seems that not a lot of people my age have changed jobs all that much but for me it is a way of life. I have worked at a bakery with a mean boss that cut hours and stood over me for most of the day telling me I was doing things wrong, and yelling at me in front of my co-works at a company lunch. so I found a job at Joanns Fabric. it was a cut in pay but the hours were good and the people were nice. Plus I got to work with one of my friends. it was awesome! for a time.... then they deiced that they were going to close the store and open up a giant one on redwood. so I helped close that store and was moved to the giant store. long story short they didn't like the way I liked to read when there were no customers around so they gave me stupid little jobs and to keep me busy and the boss thought I was a trouble maker. so I left and went to target to work with my best friend to be a photographer of little child. At first it was OK the child were hard to deal with and pleasing parents was non-existent but it has its ups and downs. but i worked every Sunday when no one else had too. because my friend got permission that she didn't have to work on Sundays or she would have quit and she took the best pictures so I see why they did it. but I was the only one out of five people to work on Sundays! Plus other locations would call and tell you they needed you down in Centerville that day and if you couldn't do it, then you would have to call and find someone your self. it was pretty stupid. so I went to be a receptionist at a construction supply company and let me tell you that was not an easy job. five months into I was layed off because they said they wanted someone full time and I was going to school. they gave me a 50 dollar bonus and sent me packing. Then my sister found a job for me in the parking services of a college. now the longest I have stayed at a job was close to a year. well I stayed at Parking for nearly three years. and I loved the people I got to work with and we had fun there, but I was so sick of students and parents yelling at me in person and over the phone, I had to get out.
I have been at my new job for about three weeks now. It is a job still on the campus but in a different building and department. let me tell you the first weeks have not been easy.
The first day I was early (good sign right?) and I walked over to the door and it was... locked! I couldn't see anyone through the blinds and it was all dark. so I am standing there not knowing what to do and its my first day and I am scared out of my mind. Finally the lady who had interviewed me came and told me she was the one training me. well after meeting a whole lot of people and a few hours of training on the computer, my boss says "oh by the way I have a meeting today for two hours and you will be here by your self." ******WHAT?***** I am thinking, you got to be freaking kidding me! but everything was fine and no one needed my help for those two hours anyway. Then when she comes back she said "oh and another thing I am going on vacation and won't be back until Tuesday." my mouth dropped to the floor. I just stood there sputtering thinking "why, why, why why,.... you can't leave me! I am so not good at learning things through osmosis!". yes it was the week of July 4Th but come on people! you can't just throw a chicken in a pen of wolves and expect it to live! Plus I didn't have a key. I knew something bad was going to happen. Cause I am Summer and that's the way life goes for me. Something bad must always happen, its the rule and I am trying to learn to live with it, but sometimes I wish I could break it into a million pieces and run away.
Okay so the first week was pretty quite and some of the people in the office would ask me questions and I didn't know what they were talking about but that was OK. they understood.
Finally when Tuesday comes around again, my boss finally started training me on the important stuff. well it was so important it took half the day and she said" well it looks like I don't have to come back tomorrow!"
oh hurray for you! lucky for me I was kind of getting the swing of how this place operates and I finally had a key to the door!
For right now I am still unsure of the next step and Fall semester is just around the corner and I can feel the shadow of it luming over head.
but I guess that can be the story for my next post
