Job Didn't Start -- Frustrations!

June 17th, 2014 at 05:00 pm

So on Sunday I get to where I'm supposed to start training at 9:30 a.m. I wait and wait and wait ... no one is there at 9:50 a.m. I call the lady and find out "sorry, there was an out of town emergency, can you train on Tuesday?" I told her yes, but after talking with NE I decided to just not do this job at all. This was at least the third time I've been blown off. Also, there'd only be 8 days total left that I could work before the campaign is over.

I'm not that desperate for money to work for someone who will jerk me around like that. (I have at least one more paycheck coming from my librarian job, plus plenty of savings.)

---
I called the staffing agency to let them know I'd be available for any job openings ASAP. I will probably need to give them another call today to make sure they got my message (and keep me in their minds.)

---
I heard that the governor of NE declared a state of emergencies due to storms - I haven't watched the local news here so am not sure what storms he was talking about. (am going to do a search) It was really humid and overcast here yesterday, but I don't think we got any rain (although we did have somewhat heavy winds - nothing compared to spring winds in NM though.)

---
NE and I went to CiCi's last night. He likes to eat late, so we ended up being there right before closing time. I had no idea that they offered whatever was left on the warmers to customers at closing. Smile I took most of a veggie pizza home - meals for a couple days. Smile

    Tornado wiped out a town north in Pilger. So sad.
    Sorry about the job, but that sounds like a good plan. I bet the staffing agency will find something pretty soon.

    Thanks CCF - I think I found a story about that one. It is sad.

    I haven't heard from the staffing agency yet. I'm going to wait til after 1 to call again. (Was told I'd get a call in the morning.)

    I thought about you when I heard the news this morning. So glad you're not in Pilger!

    I thought about you too, when I heard about the storms. But if you don't know much about them then you weren't affected. Smile

    Me too about thinking about you. Parts of Madison got hit hard last night here, and glad you're ok. I think you made the right decision about the job. Jerks.

    Thanks guys.

    MEC - That's too bad about Madison. My brother was born there in 1980 (we lived there for about three years.)

    I wouldn't go back to that "job" either!

    Was thinking of you when I saw the storms. Glad you are okay.

    And total score on the free food Big Grin
