Got back home from school in Dec. Had a job lined up, to bring in money to pay for my last two semesters of school, which I had planned to finish this coming December. My plans have been screwed up because of an employee my boss re-hired. The girl asked for a month's vacation, and then never returned and didn't give any warning for her lack of return. She didn't come back for six months, but since she's a good friend to the boss and she got fired from the job she got when she returned, my boss gave her the chance to make some money in the interim, until she gets a new job.
The problem is, when the girl is making over 300 in two weeks at a minimum wage job, that's hardly motivation to find a new job. So all the hours I should have had when I got back from school are going to a girl who should be temporary, but is making no effort to be temporary, and the boss is extremely unlikely to fire her. Oh, and she uses the work phone to make personal calls that last over an hour. But the boss doesn't care about that, because she spends hours on the clock on her numerous smoking breaks....
Needless to say, I'm looking for a new job. Which is hard, considering the economy and school, and the lack of skills that I have, since I really don't want to stay in the fast food industry. Yet, I can't stay working here. And because I won't get hired somewhere if I'm leaving in April for school, I have to defer a semester, which sets my grad date back another year. Ugh.
Sure, I'll be making money, but still. I just want to be done with school.
