Getting a Job

To pay for EMT school, I need a job. As of March 23rd, I got my first full-time job ever!

The interview was a disaster!! I told her I was looking forward to the position because there were no phones or customer service involved, and that I wasn't used to waking up at 8am.

Anyway, it obviously worked out well in the end!

After working there for four days, I can say it's possibly the best job I've ever had. I really don't have to talk to anyone because, with one exception, they only speak Spanish. I mean...they're basically all immigrants. They're also way nice so, if I need help, they help. Every day, one of the women has had a sleeve of Ritz, and they go around sharing with everyone. On top of that, the work is mindless. It's like doing metal crafts all day. Mostly I buff magnets with a spinning buffer thing. I get to wear latex gloves and a mask, so it's my favorite thing to do.

It's not that I don't know how to speak to people in a proper way (it generally involves stifling every natural thing that comes to mind), just that it makes me so tired. And I hate the way my voice sounds because my throat starts to close up - even with medication. No idea why. It's very irritating.

I digress, the first step is done!
