JOB HUNT UPDATE!!!!!

[setsuntamew]

Finally starting to feel better, which means I now have to fight the mental illness that says "since you stopped doing something every day, now you'll never be able to do it again!!!!!!" about things like graphics, updating my fucking journal, you know.....super helpful stuff like that ;w;

ANYWAY.

I've had this tab open for like a week and been unable to keep writing BUT NOT FOR LONG!!!!!!!!!! I have great news!!!!!!!

I HAD A JOB INTERVIEW TODAY AND ALREADY GOT A CALL BACK FOR A SECOND INTERVIEW IN A COUPLE DAYS I'M SO PUUUUUUUUUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway. Last week Pat had to pick up lube, so we went to Lion's Den, which acquired a different small chain of adult stores a few years back, and I just. idk man. I walked in and it was everything I'd been missing ;w; They weren't hiring at that location, but they were hiring an assistant manager at another location. So I went home and almost immediately applied to it.

Jump to today: I figured weekdays would be the best time to swing by and follow up with a manager, and I was right. The store manager was in, and she was supposed to interview someone today...but they didn't show up. SO. GOOD FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The interview went so well, it was everything I'm looking for in working in retail again, and just...idk man I felt like I really clicked with the store manager. And I did! She called me back less than two hours I left to set up a second interview, this time with the district manager. It's on Wednesday afternoon and I am SO EXCITED I want to go back to slinging dildos. I miss my stupid fun retail life ;w;

It would be evenings and weekends, which sucks but also I haven't worked in 2.5 years and I'm going insaaaaaane I need to get out of the fucking house. And this seems like SUCH a good fit.

Congrats! Praying you get it.

I feel ya on that, wish I was allowed to work and drive to get out of the house, could of done with that this week.

Thank you so much!!! I've got a good feeling about it :D

I've been unemployed for the past few years, partially because I went because to school for awhile but also because I'm disabled, so finding a job that I wanna work that also accommodates disabilities properly is hard...it's rough!! It's a tough thing to be stuck in, especially since so much of society expects people to be able to drive :T

[chocolatefrogs]

Anytime, welcome! You got this!

Yeah I'm disabled as well, so never been allowed to work, so I get it. Right? I WISH I was allowed to drive and knew how, but alas cause of my heart problems never been able to, same with working. So I'm screwed either way.

I luckily can drive, but right now the car is shared between me, my wife, and our roommate because the other car needs repairs that we can't afford. So even though I can drive, the other two have to take the car to work- which totally makes sense, I don't technically have anywhere that I "have" to go while not working. But it means I'm basically stuck at home until they they both get off work, which...can really suck :c So I have a lot of sympathy for it!!! Navigating just about anything when you have any sort of disability always feels way more complicated and difficult than it should be D:

I'm SO happy for you, waifu~ You seemed so full of joy after your trip to the first location, so I'm just so freaking glad that it all seems to be falling into place for you.

But also goddamn look at your weird serendipitous luck striking again by nuking the person who was supposed to interview so you could take their spot XDDD
