I Got Me a Job

Posted July 2nd, 2009 at 11:58 PM by R a c h e l (The Ramblings of a 19 Year Old Londoner)

J Sainsburys PLC had the courtesy to accept my application to be a General Assistant, and now I've got a uniform and a spiffy name badge and everything. The job's a bit of a chore - stocking shelves in the fresh food section of the store for 12 hours a week - but the people I've met are very welcoming.

I had my induction a couple of weeks back, and met ten other people who were starting different jobs at the same time as me. I've seen a few of them since, which is nice, as I got to...

It seems like the morons at Berry Plastics, the company that laid me and about 130 other people off, are in trouble with the state. I read in my local paper today that those *******s haven't sent in our wage information to the state so our unemployment claims can be finally processed. Some of them got noticed from the unemployment bureau saying their claims are being delayed due to they don't have their wage information, how much they made in 2008. It's the law that the company that lays off...

Especially Dad

My manager just came over and asked me if I'd do the Christmas cards. I just have to put in a gift certificate and seal the envelope for each card and there's one for everyone who works here. (So ~150?)

Apparently all the managers wrote handwritten messages to each employee in every card. Wow, talk about tedious. At any rate, my dad is one of the big managers. So when I came across my card, I had to take a look at what he wrote.

I neglect this thing even more than my LJ. Um, let's just go over what I've been doing in the last few months. XD

October
→ Started watching Tales of the Abyss. It's one of my favourite games so seeing it in anime form is great! (Too bad I'm behind already. @_@)
→ Broke down and got Portal: Still Alive on the 360. I swear I played through the whole game like 5 times that week. (And I still missed the last achievement! ;_;)
→ Voted for the first time! :D!

Tired Lightning is tired!

I started my new job today. I work at a microbrewery doing billing. My dad's the plant manager there, so I got the job with no problem at all, but as a result I have to get a ride to and from work with him, meaning I clock in at 7 AM and I go home whenever he's done. Today it was at 4:30 PM but I know sometimes he stays until 5 or 6 PM. Eep.

Anyway, aside from being dreadfully overtired and high on painkillers (a whole other story!), the day
