Breakthrough!

Ok, before I tell anything just wanted to post this:



Which is kat's requested drawing of me ^^ . Sadly my hair is no longer purple right now (I will recolour it in a bit). The hat is referenced from the music video "The Joker" by Fatboy slim.

Now to what happened. Monday I went to Apple One human resources... I have to say I did not like them. I went last week and they made me an appointment at 10 am for registration. yet when I arrived the lady at the front desk didn't know the fuck I am talking about? some other one arrived and gave me Pile O Papers to fill in.
Later I was supposed to watch some video about work safety. Only get this, someone else was watching it and I have to wait over an hour I don't know for what! I mean c'mon 1 TV? copy the dam thing onto your array of empty computers I see RIGHT THERE that come equipped with headphones. efficiency people. you schedule me for 10 am, and I leave closer to 2 pm, spending most of the time sitting down doing NOTHING. And there wasn't like a rush of people, it was pretty much empty. Following the video I had to do a redundant quiz, which involved math test. pure formalities... I worked in warehouses before and you need none of that crap. What really annoyed me about it is that the lady took one look at my resume and said "no minimum 6 months customer service expirience? you good only for warehousing..."
um... I thought they were supposed to help me get work expirience? moreover, they advertise that they offer customer service, warehouses/general labour and data entry, all separate positions. Why throw me straight to warehousing? for someone who was picky about work expirience should have taken a look at my computer skills. I have a dam decent typing speed. Above the minimum speed required for such jobs, and according to online tests a high accuracy rate as well. I am familiar with programs such as word/excel... according to my father thats pretty much enough to be taken for basic data entry jobs. But nope, skills don't matter. only expirience. And after all that waste of time and redundant form filling they still haven't called me. But 'nuff about that.

Tuesday I went to submit an application to Tim Hortons at a down town location in person (but the working location is different). and lo and behold! they took me in! Today was my first day training. I thought I was suppose to be there from 8am-12, but nope turns out its 8am-4pm. I spent all these hours in front of a computer (you need to know EVERYTHING about Tim Hortons before you actually begin working, which is fine with me, but after 8 hours its all scrambled in my brain and I cant remember shit >.< ). I was getting really tired and sleepy. You see, I woke up at 5:45, with my father, in order to get there on time (I got there too early and wandered around super slow, heh), but I was so nervous in the night I didn't manage to get any sleep (not to mention I tend to sleep in since best sleep comes morning for me and not night). I tried taking a nap today but it didn't go too well, I kept dreaming of food and when I decided to finally get up I got that horrid headache I get after naps. And I feel even more tired. I fail at naps. Aren't those things suppose to refresh you? not make you feel even worse and more tired? =S

Anyhow, tomorrow I have another training day same time as today. I hope I'll get some sleep tonight. I am so nervous since I am actually going to be working at store front. I am not ready, I am too shy >.< but worse thing is I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I AM DOING! omg omg *panicking* and the store is super busy. busy all the time. Like endless flood of people coming in, its like an exodus drive through. I am so nervous.
But must be lived through.

Once I am done with training sessions and settle into new location I want to see if I can find another job to make more cash before school starts. But I am getting ahead of myself, eh?

I still don't know how to approach the manager that I cant work July 22nd-24th since on those days I am going camping with Kat and some other gals I don't really like. Such bad timing with the job I just started. But I can't cancel this, already been paid for, also I was one of the original planners. And after someone bailed out already a while back people gonna get angry when its that close to the launch date. My father also wanted to go to Israel to see family and as much as I would love to do that, I think I'll need to talk to him on how I can pass on that so I can work part time at a job because I am desperate for work expirience.
