I just got the call; I WAS NOT hired. The store manager unfortunately informed me that the district manager would not allow him to hire me. He did suggest applying at other Starbucks in different districts, where my luck might improve. It’s too bad, I think if my hiring was left to the discretion of the store manager, he would have hired me. In the meantime, click on the image for a humorous outlook on my experience.
The Moral of the Story: Don’t commit a felony; it will ruin your life.
I missed the email from the only other member, stating that she would not be able to attend the stitch ‘n’ bitch, so I showed up, sat for an hour and left.
Today, I stopped by the Playa Vista Library to see about using the community room for a stitch ‘n’ bitch. They charge! With no funds, much less a job, that is not an option. However, the reference desk called a librarian who used to organize a knitting group which is now defunct due to nonparticipation. I told her that once I know whether, or not, I will be working evenings, we can try to restart a group, so stay tuned.
The interview went very well; I actually think I am going to be offered the job, but it is the night shift – closing. I worked till closing ONCE when I worked at Starbucks in Florida and I HATED IT. Okay. I know that most of this drama is in my head, but it sure doesn’t feel like that.
Who the fuck does God think he is to be testing me? I went to Starbucks full of humility at making minimum wage and willing to do manual labor because of bad choices I made in my life previously – and I am offered a position that I do not want‽ OMFG! I just got a phone call from another Starbucks and they are also trying to fill an evening position – and they don’t even have parking!
During the interview, the Store Manager mentioned the store’s slower pace in the evening, which I had the presence of mind to realize would be conducive to my re-training and let me build up my barista skills. Bottom line: I conceded, accepting the evening position – it’s only three nights a week. Besides which, after having discussed my criminal record, he needs approval from the district manager before hiring me, so I still may not even get the job. He says he’ll call me tomorrow.
Derived from the Greek words krokos, meaning “saffron”, and osme, meaning “odor.” Mine have begun to bloom.
Most of my Chrysanthemums blooms are now brown. I am going to deadhead them today after dad finishes doing the lawn, my interview, a possible lunch date with Naughty Claudia – or I may wait till tomorrow.
I think a visit to Armstrong Garden Center is in order regarding my Leucanthemums; they have not grown at all since March, when I planted them. They may require some fertilizer. My Consolida, also planted in March, have never even sprouted.
Despite a lovely dream, I grew depressed as I harvested and mastered Triticale crops in FarmVille. Having worked all day yesterday on my Starbucks resume, applying online at Starbucks.com and mapping out the stores located within a five mile radius of my house, I made a decision to set out today and do some footwork.
Out of seventeen stores in the five mile radius, I planned to visit thirteen. The first two visits thirteen of the seventeen store – the store just blocks from my residence and the Marina del Rey Store – yielded positive results; the rest either were too busy, already had their summer staff booked or the manager was out.
However, visiting the stores, introducing myself and handing them my customized resume paid off. I just got a call from one store and I have an interview scheduled for Thursday at 11:00. As such, I think I will visit the last three tomorrow. Now I just need to decide how to handle discussion of my felony record.
OMG! I looked over at Mojo this morning, as he woke on my bed and I thought he was stretching. I finished my farming and then went to get some Mojee love, only to discover the blanket was wet, as well as he and he had thrown up. I realized that he had had another episode — call it denial, but I am trying to refrain from using the word seizure. When I put him on the ground he could not stand up on his own.
I called the vet and made a 09:00 appointment — the first one for the day. By the time we got there, Mojo was already returning to normal. His neurological exam was normal, as was his temperature. I desired a full blood panel to insure against disease, despite the fact that he is current on his vaccinations, and the past due fecal exam.
They wanted $542.00! Being unemployed, practicality set in. Seizures – as the vet put it – would be indicative of epilepsy, which would not show up in a blood panel. I decided to have the past due fecal exam done and will monitor him. The doctor says if it is epilepsy his seizures will occur more frequently, so if we can get to October without any incident, I will feel a whole lot bettah!
I just got home from a birthday dinner with two of my FarmVille neighbors, Alba and Liz. We went to Paco’s Tacos. Yummy! Thanks neighbors. Four mango margaritas later and I am ready for bed!
If this posts successfully the first time, I will be amazed, as it took me a few days to determine if I had assembled this birthday gift from Monica properly — add to that the fact that since I quit smoking I don’t go outside much after dark anymore. Keeping my fingers crossed…
Okay uploading a second time…
Third time…
Okay, I could not figure out how to embed the video, despite converting the .mpg to a .flv file. So I am trying a link to the Solar Lily Light. This should work.
Okay my fourth attempt was close, but not exactly the functionality I wanted so I uploaded to YouTube and will try to embed it…
I just saw a report on Today that your looks/beauty make an impression when being considered for hire. That’s it! I will never be hired. Just kidding. I don’t buy into that stupid shit, but it is time to have the mohawk shaved off, as I will be making personal appearances. I think I am going for the little boy hairstyle – you know, parted on the side — I am liking that look right now.
Therefore, the pavement pounding today will consist of exercise instead of job searching, as I am going to walk with Mojo to Floyd’s Barbershop and to return my DVD rentals. We restarted our exercise commitment by walking only half an hour today; today we’ll be walking the full hour and then some.
