SO, um,.....I have a job. A real paying working job, and it's at one of the coolest places EVER. No, not the Starbucks one (they obviously realized I was too good for them), but at the new Panera Bread opening in Homestead!!!!! *insert jumping, screaming, clapping here*
I got so blessed to get this job. Why? My mom and I were on our way to go apartment hunting (yes, we're thinking about moving, again) and we passed by Panera. I was surprised to see people inside so I made a note of going to ask later about a job since I had applied last week. As soon as I got there, I was freaking out. My throat was killing me and my body was sore. I had to give it a try, though. As I was reaching the door this guy came out and turns out he was the manager! I told him I had applied online and he said to follow him. I got a job interview right on the spot and he said he definitely felt the energy that Panera needed :-) and that he would call me if they were interested. (Later, I found out that there was a big red stain on my ass from my period and I got so worried) BUT, GUESS WHO GOT CALLED AT 9:30PM? He told me to go in at noon the next day and I was like HELL YEAH (not really, but I was really excited)!!!! I went in at noon and he basically told me I got the job but that I had to get the uniform before the training at 4 (mind you, training had started the day before so I was already a day behind, as usual). It was 12:30ish so I picked up Diana and off to shopping we went. We managed to get everything in time and then came home, fixed myself, ate and then off to my job I went.
I was freaking out but I promised myself I wouldn't try to befriend anyone regardless of my initial impression of them. Turns out, Annibelle works there!! It's so nice to know that I know someone there even if we weren't best friends at least it makes things a little more comfortable. Everyone was super nice nice and friendly and I got the hang of cashiering pretty quickly. I made sure I asked questions no matter how stupid they were. We had a meeting at 11pm and then we took home all the food that was made and leftoever (WHICH WAS A LOT). I found out, though, throughout the day that everyone was hired more than 3 weeks ago. That means they've had time to practice the menu and go through orientation and learn all the ingredients ahead of time. The opening of the store is on TUESDAY and today is SATURDAY. No biggie, though, right? ._____.
I still haven't signed a formal contract or have an official cool name tag or have any kind of information on how the Panera Bread corporation pays, so I'm going to go in at 3pm to find out all that mumbo jumbo. Maybe 2:30pm, I don't know. I'm just so happyyyyyyy I got a job and that God's taking the wheel from me :')
Now I have to go make my lesson plan for today and hope for the best :x
