Happy day!

My grandfather is coming home today! He’s been in the hospital for nearly a month, and it’s been a rough ride for him. The heart surgery was fine, but afterwards he had a lot of complications with his kidneys, his stomach, toxin levels, allergies, etc.
So yes… this day has been long and anxiously awaited. :) I shall be heading over to my mother’s shortly to visit.

I applied at Target yesterday. Now it’s time to hope :crossfingers: and pray :pray: that they do hire me. All of the drama, favoritism and laziness at BK is really getting to me. The final straw that broke this camel’s back is the fact that I may not be getting a desperately needed and deserved raise (the measly little $0.20 that it may be) because of two days that I called off. Mind you, I had worked about five weeks straight, no call-offs, no lateness, coming in early, working on my days off, etc. A lot of the time I wound up working anywhere from five to nine days straight!
The days I called off? Two days in a row – because of my grandfather being in the hospital in ICU. And I called a day ahead of time for each day, so they had plenty of notice.
So yes… I’m pissed about that. Royally pissed. They screw me over, they screw over the small handful of good employees that they have… and then wonder why they can never keep anybody. Gee, I wonder

So yes. As soon as something part-time and flexible comes along, I’m out of there. I applied at Piercing Pagoda/Plum Gold last week, and I got a call back from them yesterday evening – they do want to hire me! :spin: However, I may wait a day or two before calling them back. Target is my first choice for jobs – good pay, fun job, close by, and a good place to shop at as well! PP/PG is in the mall, which is a pain to get to, a pain to park in, and a pain to be in.

Now, let me end this blog with a little piece of advice: camgirls, wait until Daddy leaves the house before doing your shows! :haha: (Warning – boobs!)

    just remember that you can always say yes to a job and then explain to them that you’re quitting for better pay/benefits/whatever. in most cases, they will fight to keep you (if you’re worth more than two dead flies, which i’m sure you are!!).

    good luck!

    How can you work at the piercing pagoda? Gun piercing is really dangerous as it causes blunt trauma to the ear.

    Also, how big is the kiosk?

    I’m glad your grandfather is home Jenn :) It’s good to know that he’s doing better. And yeah, I feel you with drama BS at the workplace. The only problem I have with CVS is corperate, not my manager. They screw us over, even the manager. And yeah, that camgirl image, OMG, lmao. Where did you find that?

    I am so happy your grandfather is going to be coming home!!! :)

    I hope you get the job at Target! I can completely relate (at least to a degree, different lines of work) about work! We have the same type of things going on where I work. Lots of favortism, lots of people bending over backwards for certain people but not others.. some get away with EVERYTHING while others seem to stay in trouble for minor things. It sucks but I really need this job, it pays better than most jobs around here.. so until I can find something else, I’m stuck. Good luck to you, I really hope you get it and get into a position where you’re happy, with good co-workers/bosses and a nice environment! :)

    I’m so happy your grandfather’s doing better now!

    Hehe, I found it funny that you said you were “royally” pissed about Burger “King”. Ahh, that was punny.

    Geez, dumb cam girl. What about just SHUTTING THE DOOR?

  11. Stephanie wrote on #

    Hahahahaha, that girl on the cam is dumb! You can tell she’s so scared that her dad saw her. OMG, how embarassing! Ahhh, I’m happy that your Grandfather is out of the hospital. That’s great news!

    My cousin works at Target and she loves it there. Plus, you get a 10% discount on everything. :) When she moved from St. Louis out to here in PA, they even gave her a job here at our local Target.. Talk about amazing! I hope you can get a job there too. :)

  13. :laugh: Omg that camgirl thing was SO HILARIOUS! Where in the world did you find that?! Anyways, grats on getting a callback from the mall place…but I definately think Target would be a better choice. Every single mall job I’ve had has gone down the drain because it was just a pain in the ass to work there. Not to mention they were slave drivers. LOL. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the job at Target! I love that place!

    Yay for your grandfather coming home :). And OMG at the dumb cam girl LOL.

  15. I hope you get the job that you want at Target! I might also apply here at my local Target, too.

    And I’m happy that your grandfather is coming home! Yay!

    LMAO at the cam girl. lol

  18. Max wrote on #

    haha thats hilarious. good luck with target :heart:

    I used to work at BK. I was a shift manager. I was screwed over pointless times too. I never got a raise that I deserved. I worked on a campus for UW-Madison. So, we didn’t close until 3am on most nights. I got stuck working 12pm-3am and had to be back in at 6am the next morning to open. That was the last straw for me.

    Surprise, surprise! I applied at Target and got the job.. lol. So, I hope your luck works just like mine did. Target was a really fun job! :D

    Good luck on getting the job!

    Hope you’ll get that job at Target ^^, *fingers crossed*

  23. Jordan wrote on #

    Why Target? Honestly, it’s not going to be any better.

    You don’t get a three month raise, only yearly raises.
    Health insurance won’t kick in until a year.

    … I work for Target right now, and am planning on leaving there come the beginning of Octoboer; I work overnight for them right now.

    Good luck with the job, but really, it’s not that great.
    Discount is only 10% too, and you can only get it if you use cash, or their target visa card.

    I hope you get the job! the burger king over here is really nasty. the boss was so snobby with me….so i stop going there!

  25. Hannah wrote on #

    Hahaha…I can’t believe the camgirl had the door wide open in the first place! Man, I would’ve died.

    But anyway, that’s great about your grandfather, I hope it gets better for him soon.

    This new layout looks great on your site, I love it :heart: Though a different top picture would make it look much nicer, I still like it :nod:

    I hope that you get the job too! :D You will though, don’t worry, you sound like a very hard worker! BK doesn’t sound like a good place to work, favouritism? Ew, I hate it! You deserve the rise, those people are idiots. :yuck:
    LMFAO HOW STUPID! Hahhaha, showing her boobs while her dad is still in the house. :laugh:

    Congratulations on your grandfather coming home. Hope everything is well. Good luck with Target, I knew someone who worked their for a while. If Target doesn’t work, try Wal-Mart. I work overnight at Wal-Mart and they gave me a fourty three cent raise a while back just for being a woman. Ha! Also, if you work overnight, at least in Western New York anyway, you get a dollar extra an hour. :nod:
