I have so much thoughts on latest controversies and more, but I've been super-busy the last few weeks. Didn't have time to blog!
I'm still a sub teacher, but I also got hired to work at a fashion retail store in August. That was because during the summer, schools weren't in session, so I got a 2nd job. I did have past experience at Macy's, but this time, I'm at a competitor.
At the new fashion retail store, I'm a rover (I rotate among different departments). To get hired for that position, I agreed to work some early morning shifts (ie. start at 2am) on the condition I'm notified 3 weeks ahead of time. The store does announce the weekly schedule 3 weeks in advance, so I was in. We also agreed to those 2am-6am weekday shifts. For weekends, I agreed to "anything goes".
Well, last week, I did 3 days in a row of early markdown shifts (where we change price tickets before the store open). 3 days of 2am-6am, while still commuting to the sub teaching job afterwards. (no car, just bus or bike) This mess with my sleep schedule, and I lose hours I could be doing basic things outside of work. I told my manager I'm done with doing those early markdown shifts on weekdays. I'm still willing to do those early markdown shifts on the weekends, but I'm done doing them on weekdays.
My foot is already in the door, so I'll probably be traded to another position in the store.
====================
Meanwhile I am looking for a permanent position in........................
............... well, anytime I actually announce that I'm about to get a job interview at a certain place, I never get the job.
But if I don't tell anyone about an upcoming job interview, I actually did get the job! I sure didn't tell anyone that I was interviewing for the fashion retail job that I'm currently working at! Same was true for other temp jobs and internships I had in the past!
I'm superstitious like that!
