Jobs

So I quit my job at the lawfirm on Friday the 5th. Earlier that week I had put in applications for a new part time job. On the 5th, I got my first call back regarding my application.

After playing phone tag for a couple of days, I was able to talk to the HR woman on Tuesday, while I was at the dentist in SLC. She set me up for an interview on Thursday, which is the reason Terra and I didn't fly out to Vegas until Thursday afternoon.

The position is as a cashier at a local home improvement store. I went in on Thursday and as I was leaving the girl I interviewed with chased me down and brought me back. I was being offered the job as long as I passed the drug test. I love hearing those words, because I knew I had the job. I had to take the test that day and luckily one of the testing locations is less than a mile from where we would be parking to catch our flight.

We went in and they were busy. The extremely unfriendly in take girl told me it could take 2 hours. This was insane. I signed in and we sat down. It was around 11:30 when we got there and we were trying to make a flight that left for Vegas around 1:30 (the next flight didn't leave until almost 3). By noon we had only heard 1 person actually get called back and they hadn't called me up to finish intake. I was looking at the map and there was another location not to far way. I called them to see if they had a line. They told me they didn't. I walked up to the intake girl and told her I was going to the other location. We got there around 12:15. They were right, there was no one there. We were on our way back to the airport by 12:30. It was awesome. We made the flight no problem.

I got the call from them that my background check and drug test were clear (no kidding) on Tuesday and that I needed to come in and complete my paperwork. I did that on Thursday.

So, October 5th was my last day at the law firm and last day with 2 jobs. Less than a week later I had been offered a new part time job. On Monday the 15th, I started the full time job with the airline. The 17th was my 31st birthday and the 18th was my official starting date for my new part time job at the home improvement store. Last week was a good week!
