No More Retail Hell
Two days ago, I received a phone call from a popular transportation company here asking if I’d like to be interviewed for an office position. The only words I heard in that entire conversation were “OFFICE POSITION!” so naturally I agreed, and the interview went swimmingly.
I never sent them my resume or cover letter, and only 5 minutes into the interview I found out that the Lorain County Commissioner forwarded my information. I’m not complaining, it’s always good to “know” people in high places. The funny thing is, is that the building is this amazing mid-century modern edifice from the 1960’s, with original furniture and all. Two hours prior, I took a photo of it and it turned out to be my future place of employment. The woman made a comment about everything being from the 60’s, so naturally I gushed to her about modern design for 5 minutes because well yes, I am that gay, but she ate it up. I’m also apparently not alone in my coveting of the furniture.
Needless to say, I have freed myself from the constraints of a thankless, low paying, benefit-less job. In other words, I quit. I could have gone the professional route and put in my two weeks notice, but I decided that I’d like the two weeks worth of time to myself. I do not feel guilty about my decision. I start two weeks from now, and probably the most attractive aspect to the job is that the shifts are only 4 hours long, and I’d STILL be making more a week than I did at Retail Hell.
So, in the next few weeks expect something shiny and exiting and new here at Neonglow. I’ll have a lot of free time, and I can’t wait to enjoy being lazy.
