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.
