RE: Grandpa Gotta Cook—Broccoli Beef With Rice
Hey, @janton.
Actually, no. So there are meetings the leadership of the local church holds before the Sunday services, so he had mentioned there that he had an opening and asked if anyone knew of someone. I had told another leader I was looking and he mentioned me to this other guy. So, then I texted him Monday to see how to apply and I ended up at his house that evening for an "interview." It was a laid back kind of thing and he did most of the talking. :)
Howdy sir Glen! oh I get it, that's the best way to get a job that's for sure. But what happened, did you find anything out today about the position?
He's been down in California the last few days—some kind of an emergency, not sure if it's work or personal—so he hasn't had a chance to talk to the owner yet. Flight back was today (I don't know what time) so I haven't heard anything from him today. He did say he was sorry that it was dragging out.
what do you think about the job? I mean it's as far from what you want to do as can be and you might hate it but it's something for now and your wife would like it.
My wife wasn't thrilled with it when I told her about it—after telling me I just had to get anything, including part-time, she thinks it doesn't pay very much to start and since there's no insurance (even though she has it) she doesn't like that either. :)
If I'm going to work for someone else, I'd like to be able to interact with as few people as possible and just do my job. I wouldn't be dependent on anyone else, and I wouldn't be sharing the route (as far as I know) with anyone, so it's mainly just me and the routine of the machines. Since they're all different in some fashion, that will take some time to learn, but I don't know. It seemed like something I could do that wouldn't require a lot of brain power, being exerted. Which is fine. And it's not like I have to do it forever. It might actually help when it comes to finding a better paying job.
So, anyway. I hope to know more sometime this week. If not, I guess I keep applying and seeing what happens.
So you are determined to find a job after what your wife said..it sounds like.
well, I like the sound of that job as long as it isn't in a big city, I could enjoy that, traveling around, being on my own, not a brain strainer, I like that part about it! lol. It might work out pretty well if you get it. I'm a little surprised at her reaction though, after all this time I thought she'd be totally thrilled.
You and me both, but anyway.
I don't know if it's so much I'm determined as I've decided I'd rather not hear about it anymore (getting a job) and move onto the next thing (which apparently is get a better job if I don't succeed the first time). Any other thing I'm doing or not doing would be okay to hear (probably losing weight would move to No. 1), since we've hashed and rehashed this one beyond to death. I think it's been obliterated into whatever is smaller than subatomic particles a thousand times over by now.
Howdy again sir Glen, I get that. Well, I hope the offer that your friend has comes through so you guys can stop discussing it! That's too painful and the job will have to improve things drastically.
