February 3rd
What the fuck was I thinking this was a horrible idea. I didn't realize how difficult working with other people AND animals could be! *yawn* I'm tired as hell but I have a sense of duty so I'm reporting in on the first day of my job regardless....
First off I'll be working every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at PetLand near the park from 2:00 to 5:00pm. Three hours. That doesn't sound like much right? But you have no freaking idea! When I got there the boss sort of briefed me on where everything was and what was expected of me but other than that he told me to ask the other employees if I had any questions and then he disappeared somewhere.
Secondly...These guys are idiots and assholes. I can't deal with them at all! They eat on the job(and they're messy about it too) They don't feed the animals according to their charts if they're too lazy to and they basically dumped all the most irritating jobs on me because I'm new. There were about three guys and one girl.
The girl wasn't really that bad. She was kind at least...She helped me out when I was confused about stuff and she had an impressive size if you know what I mean...but she wasn't very bright it seems. I don't want to discriminate against blondes or anything...But c'mon she isn't giving me much to work with either. Sarah was her name I think. She was basically In charge of customer interactions it seems. I usually saw her lounging around near the register talking to one of the dicks who worked it or helping kids choose good pets but when it came to measuring cups of food or anything mathematical she was as helpful as a slice of cheese. She also seemed to lack common sense in some areas but let's not get into that...
Brandon and Brent the twin dicks (as in they were actually twins) were part timers also who worked the same shift as me but did about a quarter of the required work. As far as i've seen from the first day they only handle pet adoption forms and cash exchanges. If none of that is going on then they're normally in the backroom having loud obnoxious conversations or food fights or these really pointless competitions that they seem to just come up with at any moment's notice. And guess who had to clean up after them today.
that's right
Christen Grant. Isn't he a lucky guy?
Well I wasn't alone persay...This last guy helped me out. He's the strangest of them all. He barely speaks a word and when he does it's usually a mumble of something too hard to understand. He doesn't do anything wrong or stupid. He's probably the most diligent worker there apart from myself. But he's just...weird.
His name is Theodore Lawson but of course HE didn't tell me that. I had to ask Sarah since the guy didn't even look me in the eye once and he was the one who was actually working side by side with me today. Or at least I don't think he looked me in the eye...his head was always down and he has really long curly hair. No I don't think you understand. his head is like this black bush of curls and it covers most of his eyes so if you aren't looking carefully all you really see is from his nose down.
Being around him wasn't as awkward as I'd expected though( does that mean I should or shouldn't worry about him being a serial killer?). I was used to not talking to others so I had no problem with only focusing on my job and getting through the day. Not sure if he felt the same way or not...Maybe he's actually pretty lively and I just caught him on a bad day who knows...I doubt it but this is only my first day....
On a scale of 1-10 i'd give my first working experience a 6.
The people are kind of iffy but to be honest, working with puppies, bunnies, and kittens today was kinda nice. They were sooooo cuuuuttttee....err *cough* don't tell my mom I said that....(The aprons have cute bunnies on them too squee)
Now if only I could get bastard and his twin dumbass fired. It wouldn't be so bad at all. My next mission is clear to me.
That is all
