5 hours...

[jigglypuff]

5 hours out of the entire week. Five. Who in hell works 5 hours out of the week?

I've been on-call from 1 - 6PM, but I never got called in and basically spent my entire day playing Ocarina of Time on the Virtual Console.

I've been so bored, but I couldn't plan anything. And I requested a schedule change so I could work Tues., Wed., Thurs., and Sat. I need to see how Mondays will be before I give the word, but I wanted Sundays and Fridays off.

Still. I understand that the holidays are over and hours were going to be cut, but I'm seriously irked by this. I'm almost tempted to quit and apply for Gamestop. But I love the atmosphere. I love the people I work with.

But I feel like a temp. I have yet to be put on register after almost 3 months. And, honestly, it doesn't feel worth working if I'm only going to have a paycheck this week of less than $40 after taxes.

As much I'd really not like to, I'm giving this job until the end of January. This is stupid.

What do you think, F-list? I really am at a loss.

I say give it another month. If they aren't giving you more hours, then you'll have to tell them you're going to have to find another job. Even if you are working part time, you should have at LEAST 10-15 hours a week. :/ If you aren't getting that, then there's no point in you staying, no matter how much you like the job.

Though... finding a job you like is also very difficult.

I'd really rather not have to carry two jobs with the next semester starting in the beginning of February. /8

But yeah, you're right. I don't get what's up with the huge hour cut. I guess I'd understand this a bit better if I was say...16, but that's not the case. I'm over 18 and there is certainly no problem with piling on more.

[surrealsetup.livejournal.com]

I can understand that, but at least you aren't 16 and having them pile more hours than you can handle? D: I've seen it happen. >>

But yeh two jobs plus school does not mix well D:

Good luck, sweetie <3

[airborn.livejournal.com]

Ick, I've seen that, too. D:
Which is odd considering that they can't give them longer than 4 hour shifts.

Thanks, hun. I appreciate your thoughts. <3

Yeh, it was in the summer and she was working 9 days in a row D:

[break4angels.livejournal.com]

If you want to quit and work somewhere else, then quit and work somewhere else.LOL

Ocarina of Time~

[airborn.livejournal.com]

I really wish it was as easy as that. Finding a job now will be harder with the holidays over. ]:

Yesss~ I just finished the Forest Temple and Ice Cavern, yesterday. Going to my favourite place in the entire game: Gerudo Fortress. ♥

[break4angels.livejournal.com]

Waaaiiiiittt....did you do the Fire Temple or Shadow Temple yet?

[airborn.livejournal.com]

Pfft. No. Didn't do the Water Temple, yet, either. 8]

[break4angels.livejournal.com]

YOU NEED TO THEM ALLIIIII. BAD ALLI.

[break4angels.livejournal.com]

*DO

LOL

[airborn.livejournal.com]

I WILL DO THEM.

LATER.

[oh-letgo.livejournal.com]

Aw... that must suck. I say stick out for awhil longer and discuss the matter with your boss or seomthing otherwise quit and switch to another job. I know you love the people and the atmosp[here but you can't stay there forever (U_U).

Just see how it goes...

[airborn.livejournal.com]

I would love to discuss it with her, but I never see her. @__@ I close a lot have no idea as to why and she's usually in the store in the earlier afternoons to mornings.
But you're absolutely right. As much as I do love the job, there's no way I can live off the salary. Dang.

Oh! I got your package, by the way! :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE THE CDS. ♥

[dopeangel.livejournal.com]

uh, january is still pretty long =/ anyway I suggest you to start asking around for new jobs right away and take the chance.

[airborn.livejournal.com]

It's about two weeks left, right? I can start asking around about hiring positions. Thanks. [:

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

Hold onto your job because not many places are hiring right now. So it might actually be hard to find something.

OR FIND SOMETHING AND THEN QUIT :D;; So a least you don't lose in the end, righto?

I'm like the complete opposite of you. I've been working my butt off everyday, for nine hours (a day) and it's driving me up the wall and I'm always so tired.

[airborn.livejournal.com]

I'll hold on to it if it does improve, that's for sure.

YES. :D That's actually what I wanted to do if I were to go out and get a new one. If I were to get a better job, then I'd submit my two-weeks notice.

N-nine? :O You have no idea how wonderful that sounds right about now, but don't overwork yourself, sweetie. Do you have any days off coming up? D:

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it will. :(

Maybe you might find one with a better pay! How much do you get paid, btw? :o

It's wonderful for the pay, but it gets so tiring. I come home sleeping a lot. Well, I'm taking two weeks vacation starting on the 21st, so I think they thought "WELL SINCE SHE'S NOT WORKING FOR TWO WEEKS, LETS MAKE HER SUFFER FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE SHE GOES SO ALL SHE DOES IS JUST RECOVER AND NOT HAVE FUN ON HER VACATION"
or something like that~ XD

[airborn.livejournal.com]

I get paid $8 an hour, but I do get the occasional bonuses. It's not too bad to start out.

MAKE SURE SHE'S IN PAIN FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THAT SHE'S OFF. At least you'll get a chance to relax. You definitely deserve the vacation. ♥

By the way, I just picked up Phoenix Wright earlier today. :D

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

Wow! Awesome~ 8Db

INORITE?? It's so unfair! :X But thank you! I'm looking forward to this vacation~

OMG TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I LOVE THAT GAME SO MUCH *A'SPLODES*

[airborn.livejournal.com]

lol, really? How much do you get paid, if you don't mind me asking? :O

RITE. Well, you can break your new Esteban in~

I'm only in the middle of Episode 2, but It's just so freakin' cute. Phoenix and Maya FSDKAA;SLDK OMG. ♥ *waits for Edgeworth to show*

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

8.50 an hour. Not as spiffy as my sister (10.45) but it's something!

Heehee, I love Esteban!!

Did you pick up the first game? Oh man, I love the games sooo much. And Edgeworth is just so damn funny. XD

[airborn.livejournal.com]

Really good! :O And with how many hours you put in, those must be some fabulous checks! And dude, what? Where does your sister work? Those are awesome wages! XD

Yeah, I wanted to give that one a try before I bought the rest of them pluse when the new one comes out. (Or is it already out???) I'm just have an amazing time with the names. "Mr. Sahit, or should I call you Mr. Did It?" Oh Phoenix. ♥
*waits patiently, DS charging.* :]

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

The checks are good, could be better, but I can't complain because it's money either way! And my sister works at Ikea, which is INSANELY good~

The third one came out, the fourth one is coming out next month? I think. I has new characters though~ (Note my icon)
I love the quotes in the game. Just sooo hilarious~

[airborn.livejournal.com]

Good way to look at it. And danggg, I had no idea Ikea paid that well. And ther's not any one close by here. *sad*

Ah, cool. My brother asked me if I was going to get the new one when I bought this one and I got confused on how many there really were. I knew at least three. XD (the girl in the top hat is adorable. Is she a new character?)

[cuteful.livejournal.com]

I know, sometimes I wish I could apply there, but you don't get much social interaction with your co-workers. :C

Four in Japan, third in US! :D (And yepp yepp, she's Phoenix's adopted daughter. Trucy Wright :3)

[airborn.livejournal.com]

Not too surprising. Those stores are HUGE. x.x
