Job-ness and stuff...

So, right now I have a few plates spinning and I am waiting to see which will fall and which will remain....

As some of you may have noted on facebook, I was offered a job at Walmart as a part time sales associate (32 hours a week, give or take) in the Lawn & Garden department. I went in yesterday to take their mandatory drug test before they officially hire you and I am now just waiting for them to call me and set up my orientation. If I do get the full 32ish hours a week, at the rate of pay they offered (which is pretty low, but still above minimum), I will make enough to just barely pay all of my solid (rent, electric, phone, etc) bills. But I won't have any income with which to buy gas, food, or do anything other than twiddle my thumbs at home for fun.

I did interview at a coffee shop in town that needs someone during the day on the weekends, and since WalMart mostly wants me for evenings it could work out that I can mesh the two jobs together... But, that will include: (1) me getting offered the barista job, and (2) WalMart not pitching a fit when I say "I need to change my availability to not be available during the day on weekends".

If I get lucky and can mesh the two together, the WalMart paycheck would pay the hard bills while the coffee shop would feed me and my car. So, that would be ideal.

I also interviewed at a Subway... the per hour is slightly less that what WalMart will pay but I have a decent chance of actually getting full time (40) hours in a week.

Plus, I have a call-back interview with Helzberg Diamonds. They are looking for a full-time office manager... at the end of this year. Until the position would open up, they would have me "train" part time. Basically, they would have me sit and learn their office stuff and how the sales floor works for a few hours a week in order to keep me on the line until the office that they need me to manage is ready. So, this would essentially fill the "part time work" spot instead of the coffee shop until the end of the year, but would then become a full time position.

So, quite frankly, I am waiting to see what ends up being actively offered to me by each place... and then I will pick and choose and wiggle things around to see what will actually be done. This could end up turning out really well - or it can end up with me barely getting bills paid and eating the cans at the back of my pantry and begging for loose change to put gas in the car... haha. Either way, I will likely have a lot less free time that I have had in recent history.

In other news, my birthday is in just over a week!
