So yeah. I finally got a job. Two actually. One on the "pricing team" at JC Penney's, and one as a Busser 2 nights a week (Friday and Sat) at a Thai restraunt. The JC Penney's one is kind of funny, because of how i got it and all. Going into my job hunt I had a kind of..snobbish? attitude. I only wanted to work at certain places. But with my expeirnce I couldn't exactly be picky. But I still was...until my mom told me I had to get a job by the end of the week or i was out of the house. I couldn't get any of the jobs i wanted, so i asked my mom's friend for help. She said she knew someone at a department store... I remebered it being Macy's..but i guess it was JC Penney's. I decided I'd take it anyway. I went to apply and the job wasn't even for a sales person..it was for the "utility team."
I change price signs all day. And do clerance. How do you think all those little pink tags got on the clothes at Jc Penney's? You think they come that way!? You think they appear there!? Oh no my friend, people pain stakingly spend 8 hours a day, putting those damn things on. So yeah, I'm actually pretty glad for the job. Definatly changed my attitude. I am now a grunt in the work force. With a mind-numbingly boring and simple job. I feel the longer i stick price tags on other price tags, the dumber and number i will become.
I feel I'm well on my way to growing up. Or that i will soon have a better understanding of Budweiser commercials. or something like that.
Anyways, my second Job at the Thai Restraunt, I like that one. I like the hours alot more at least. I get small tips, and I get to chill more, I also get to interact with people more..usually a good thing.
I work with all Thai people. Nothing wrong with that, I mean it is a Thai restraunt. But I guess I didn't exactly know what i was getting into. Most of the other people there don't speak english well. So they prefr to speak Thai. That's fine too. Until you start catching your name in their converstaions, and they start laughing hysterically. and then every time you speak, move, breathe, after that they make fun of you, and laugh..and speak more words.
It makes me feel so little. so dumb. I mean, most of the time their all pretty nice, but being one of the only non Thai speakers, can really suck. I wish i knew Thai..
And then. Theres this one gorgeous Thai girl, Ming. I mean, she's really beautiful. and I'm jelaous. But..She bothers me. The Thai Servers, can obviously speak english also, so must of them talk to me a bit, say hi etc. She hasn't said one word to me. I think she might have said "Hi." but I'm not sure. She made zero effort to talk to me at all. And she's the main one who laughs at me too..
and I don't understand it. I didn't do anything wrong to her. she hasn't even given me a chance. I don't know. She just seems like she's better or something. Because I'm not Thai. That's how i feel at least, when she's willing to blabber away to everyone who is Thai...
Oh well. I'm still Thankfull for my jobs. Hopefully be a server soon at the Thai job, they said Sept. How lucky is that!
Life isn't so bad i guess. :)
