Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So the info I got on the phone about hours and chances for things like benefits at this store may not have been accurate. So now it looks like everyone is part time . But the pay is still higher. And there is no promise of anything after seasonal.

So now I'm waiting to meet with someone else and I have to decide.

And I now have a second interview for a permanent position . I was going to be hired on the spot and basically traded a guaranteed seasonal position for a chance at permanent postion.

I need advice on how to handle the job offer I have with this other interview. I don't know what to say and I'm supposed to go in and fill out paperwork on Tuesday.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You could ask to reschedule paperwork and orientation for the following week.

I've been playing phone tag and I can't log into the website I need to for prelim things . I let the HR guy know and I also said i want to verify pay. And I'll go from there. I have to believe that things will work out.

If you can't reschedule just go in and do the paperwork on Tuesday as planned while the other plays out. Don't mention you have something else in the works.

This has been an emotional rollercoaster of a day. I got excited about nailing the interview . Then realized it takes a year of averaging 29.5 hours a week to qualify for bennies at Target. Got depressed. Then decided screw it I can do the best I can.

I like working in retail. I want to figure out how to make it working in retail . I'm good at it. And I like it more than being a receptionist.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Neville needed to be neutered before we could adopt him, so that was at 8 or 9 weeks, but other than him I've always waited until 6 months or so.
