Last Tuesday, which was my first day back from vacation.. one of my coworkers told me the best news. The psycho stalker FBI wanna be security guard quit! May 16th was his last day. Thank goodness!! I saw him on Friday, because he was picking up his paycheck and wished him luck, bla bla bla. I can only hope that the next guy they hire is a bit closer to "normal", or atleast won't chase me through the mall because I didn't say "hi" back to him. :)

The security guard at my job is making me feel insecure. When he first started talking to me, he was acting pretty nice (actually, pretty flirtatious). However, a few days later he calls me dumb (some people are so full of themselves!)

The new security guard at my job is so negative!

My manager has a BAD case of AD/HD. He's disorganized, easily distracted, walks/talks really fast (hyperactive), has a bad short term memory, misplaces things a lot, talks out loud to himself ALL the time (which can get to be very annoying). I don't have anything against people with ADHD, I know that a lot of people have it, but in this case it seems to be getting in the way of his work (he's a procrastinator, lazy, overall a bad example). My problem is the fact that whenever I'm talking to him (no matter what it is), he'll always laugh afterwards.

This boy at my job is driving me crazy. I worked with him on Friday night (we're both just part-timers). I don't normally work with him, but the lady who normally works had something going on. So, we ended-up talking for a little while, I felt like everything went fine. Today is my day off, so I went to the mall to have my haircut, then swung by to check my schedule for the next two weeks. When I walked in, I saw him sitting in a chair and he was staring at me really hard. It made me feel extremely awkward. I pretended like I didn't see him, kept on walking.

When it comes to working, I feel like I have to decide whether I'd rather have a job with more responsibilities, thus more pay, or something with less responsibilities, thus lower pay . Both situations are almost equally stressful (let's face it, not having money can be stressful too). I don't have a degree or any type of certification yet, so my job options are limited. I just started this new job, about 1.5 weeks ago. As you may of already guessed, I
really don't like it. My manager loves talking about himself, it's driving me crazy.

The manager at my job is being such a bitch!! okay, this is what happened. I started working there (again) on December 3rd. She told me that I should look for a second job, because I wouldn't get very many hours there. The problem with that is the fact that I work at a mall, so of course, by December.. most places already have their Christmas help. In January, a lot of stores don't need help because they kept some of their seasonal staff.

Okay, this is by no means a joke. I would describe the last place I worked at a mind fuck. I didn't work there, I survived it. The owner was one of those guys that's really dominating.. always has to have the last word, if you do something (anything) wrong, he'll make you feel really stupid about it.
The only way he'll be nice to you? if you work over 40 hours/ week. One day, I was having a short conversation with a coworker and he butted into our conversation and made me feel stupid about something that I said. Twenty minutes later, he asked me if I could stay and work an extra hour, (I agreed)

Okay, well my job is pretty crazy, but not usually as crazy as it was today. I work at a restaurant (only one more week left, thank goodness!).. so, nine people
came in and everything was going fine. They paid the bill, etc. and were just about to leave, when a waitress and I heard this little girl walk out the door and say to her friend/sister "that boy kept asking me for my phone number!", so the waitress was trying to figure-out who they were talking about. She asked a waiter "so, did you get that girl's phone number?" he said "what??" and she told him what we heard. He said "no, I didn't ask her for her number." So, her father comes back in with her and talks to the manager about what happened, the waiter comes out and tells them he didn't ask for her phone number, but apologized anyways.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. I quit my last (real) job in May and ever since then,
have not found anything I'm happy with. I just feel like all the people at my last job *other than the psycho owner* and I got along so well, all the other jobs I have worked at recently.. it's just not the same. So, this is what I keep asking myself: should I try to go back to my old job, or get over it and move on? maybe I should try to work at a different location this time around? I feel like I keep running in circles with what I want to do. (I quit because the owner gave me a raise, then he started being really hard on me. One day, he'd tell me my shirt was wrinkled, the next day my hair was "not nice looking", etc. etc. and he'd say this in front of the whole staff and eventually I'd had enough abuse)

Okay, this is seriously bullshit! yesterday, I had an interview with ________, which is a retail store in the mall. The girl who interviewed me seemed pretty nice. When she was talking to me, she said "you'll be able to get 32 hours/week here!" which seemed pretty sweet. After the interview, she said "if you don't hear anything from me next week, give me a call!". A few hours after the interview, she gave me a call and we set-up for me to come in and fill-out paper work in a few days. I called back today, to talk to the person who does the schedule, to make sure I'll actually start working next week; not only filling-out tax crap. She says "oh, I'm not really going to have any hours for another three weeks.."

I admit that this blog has very little to do with the fact that I am broke, at my next job I will
probably have to work 6 days/ week if I want to catch-up on bills. Last night, I didn't sleep very well
because at around 5 AM some stupid cat was screaming (in my neighbor's back yard). Initially, I thought it was some kid.. but once awake realized it definitely was not. I had to run an errand early this morning, but coming back home, what do I see jogging down the side of the road? some 40 year old guy (approx.) wearing a green Speedo. Okay, it's late October, probably about 60 degrees outside. What is anybody doing wearing a Speedo this time of year? unfortunately, not much was left to the imagination. :/

This is so ridiculous!! okay, so I applied at ________ at the beginning of August. I had three interviews, the GM made it sound like I would most likely get the job (as a jewelry sales person) Last week he told me some bullshit like "oh, we don't have enough hours... we have a lot of other people who want the same seasonal position you do." So, he told me "well, our Jewelry Repair Center is hiring!! the manager's name is ________"
I had an interview with her today, (my fourth) I felt like everything was going pretty well. Right before I walked out she said "okay, well I have two weeks full of interviews.

*sigh*
Ok, well.. this is pretty backwards. I haven't even started this job yet and I'm already upset.
I don't start for another 3 weeks.. I called the G.M. yesterday, he might set me up a third
interview to meet yet another one of their managers, while he's away next week for a business
trip. How many interviews do I need to go through?! but, it already sounds like I will be
starting the middle of October, so I'm not too worried. Has anybody else had to go through this, too?
thanks.

Okay, so after much frustration of trying to figure-out if I got this job or not, I decided to
call back one last time. He said "I'm real sorry that I forgot to call you back.. but, right now
I don't have any payroll hours. We get more hours at the middle to end of October." Which means I
would have to wait a whole month before I could start just because they just hired a few new people. *I need money now, not next month!* I went to another job
interview today, to see if maybe I'd like to work there instead, but I think that since I've already waited 2 months to work here, I may as well wait one more month, considering all the personality tests, interviews, credit checks, excessive amounts of crap I have already gone through.
