Work

On Monday I had a headache most of the day because my neck was hurting. And I think it all got worse when I took out my paycheck from Dining Innovations and found that they had only paid me $7.25, minimum wage, for training. I checked with the other girls that were hired at the same time as me and we all agreed that they told us that we would be paid for training but that they had left out the $7.25 part of that. I thought that they would be paying me the $10 that I normally would make. I was expecting a much larger paycheck than I got so it was a little frustrating. Not only that I felt mislead, which is why I am now looking for another job. Not only did they tell us they would be paying us for training, when I was hired they told me I would be able to work between 30 and 40 hours a week. The most I have worked in a week is 28 hours. I am not going to be able to pay rent with this job. Last week I worked 11 hours total and this week I think I might be able to work 20 hours if I can stay late on Saturday. Last night I did get to work around 9 hours so that is a start on me being able to pay the rent but not enough.

I don't want to have to worry about whether or not I will be able to pay rent or not. So that I don't worry about it I'm working on getting another job. I would really like to work in a book store or for that matter a library would be great. I love books and it would be nice to be around them. Maybe I will see if the Library is hiring. I already applied at Barns and Nobel. I haven't heard from them. I tried to apply at Mr. K's Used Books but they had just filled the position. I'm not sure of the point in trying to apply at Malaprop's because they have had the same employees as long as I can remember. I also wouldn't mind working at a movie rental place, but they probably don't pay that well. Once again let the great search for work commence.
