  I Think I Got the Job!

I think I got a job! Walmart just called, I go in for an interview tomorrow at 3! I will be a cashier. (oh joy). But hey, its money coming in! sounds like they definitely need for Friday thru sunday plus one other day. Which should work out great. I am kind of excited!


Called hubby and told him, he is happy. Maybe we can afford to buy food now. LOL

That's great Mary! I really hope you get it. I have found that I love my new job as a cashier! I worked today and had so much fun! Congratulations!

I was nervous too, for my interview. But once I got there, it went well. I hope it was the same for you.

I am excited! I think it will be fun, except for the rude customers!

COOL!!! This is great Mare!! I got your phone message!! I will give you a call later!! I just had a good feeling about this!! I wish that I could go back to working in retail I miss it but, my leg and foot can't take all of that standing unfortunately!! I enjoyed it for the most part when I worked for them. Just remember especially with the back to school rush and of course when Christmas time comes around to not get rattled by long lines of people in your line. What I would do there and when I worked in the craft store is tell myself to just focus on each person like they were the *only one in line*. That helped me a lot!! At first when I looked up and saw like 20 people in each line including mine I wanted to panic. Then, I thought, no, just focus on each one. And believe me Wal-Mart and the Craft Store I worked for would have so many people in there during back to school and Christmas they had security to maintain over-crowding (fire codes) and all. You will do fine and YES you will enjoy the social interaction with other adults. I went back to work when Nathan was in Kindergarten and worked until his 4th grade year.

Love ya,
Jenn

Oh yeah!!

I am looking forward to working again. plus I already know most of the people working at walmart. it will be nice to have more money coming in!

This is good news. Jobs and money are a necessity and a prerequisite to putting food on the table. JR is having a struggle with gas prices so high and I'm finding I have to be much more conservative in my shopping. I haven't gone to the day old bread store yet... but that could be my next stop. Anyhow... I'm happy for you. Annie :o)

thanks annie! things are just so expensive anymore that we were getting further and further behind. hopefully this will help.

You shouldn't be at all nervous now, interviews are easier than walking onto a dojo. You know that...and since you've already done that you can accomplish anything. Remember why I titled my blog: Difficulties Mastered are Opportunities Won... I wrote that for you when you were nervous about joing the Tae kwon do. Take a breath and conquer them all
comment by lynnie on Aug 12, 2008 3:12 PM ()
you are the best lynnie! thanks for everything! and you are right, if I can master walking onto the dojo than everything else is a piece of cake!

That is great news.I need to get a part-time job myself to keep up with the constantly rising prices for EVERYTHING.Laurie
comment by dogsalot on Aug 12, 2008 12:39 PM ()
thats why I am getting a job. we just can't afford to live anymore. hubby's health insurance is ridiculous! it just went up and we are really feeling the bite of that!
reply by elkhound on Aug 12, 2008 12:43 PM ()
I'm glad Mary, I have this feeling that once you're in there you will like the extra social interaction it gives you and it's the kind of job where you punch out to go home, and leave the job stress behind
comment by firststarisee on Aug 12, 2008 12:27 PM ()
I think you are right! not like my old jobs where I had so much stress that I drove everyone crazy. I think it will be fun, except for giving up my weekends.
reply by elkhound on Aug 12, 2008 12:32 PM ()
Well at least you get 10 percent off on the products there.
You will meet all kind of people there.
Good luck with the job.

when I first got out of high school, I worked as a cashier for a store similar to walmart. and I loved it! it was really alot of fun and definitely no stress.
