No Prompting This week

[polgara_5]

So last week, instead of writing my super fun prompts, I got stock doing not-super fun budgeting stuff when my program decided to stop showing my register. *rolls eyes* I had to create a whole new file and of course nothing would cross over. I still don't have everything inputed, but I can at least see how much money I have and will have (or rather not have) in future days with my recurring bills/budget etc.

*pouts*

So instead of taking new prompts this week, I'll just write up the ones from last week.

On the work front, got three lovely ladies hired. The boss lady wants me to try and hire men, but like I keep telling her, they gotta apply first and then not be an asshat second. Seriously, one guy I interviewed this week told me he liked to keep his weekends free. *jaw drop* Dude, you realize this is retail, right? No wonder Kmart was giving you crap hours. You have crap availibility. Then the idiot told me that the shirt he was wearing wasn't his first choice, but he had spent the night at a friend's house and didn't have time to go home and change... His interview was at 4:30pm. (clothing came up because i work at the Gap, and part of the interview process was them picking out two outfits that best fit their personal style) Dude was a serious asshat. *sigh* Hopefully gonna hire a few more, but my pickings are getting rather slim.

While not everyone is suited to working in retail (I'm one of them), jobs are scarce enough these days that anyone with any sense of self respect whatsoever is going to be damned glad to take whatever they can get to make ends meet. Bunches of rant deleted. I just do not get the attitude of so many people these days who have to have just the right job, with the right hours and benefits, or they refuse to work. I worked steadily from the age of 16 until I was medically retired and was never without a job more than a few months, even when I was a full time college student. Those jobs were many and incredibly varied because I most often took what I could get to make ends meet, whether I liked the work or not. Nope. Do. Not. Get. /rant despite best intentions

Yeesh. I hope your budgeting software straightens up and flies right soon; that sort of thing is the pits when it goes down and a real time thief. :-p

Hugs and well wishes to you and yours.

When I worked retail, electronics, we had the exact opposite problem. Finding women who knew enough or wanted a position outside Customer Service/Cashier. *shakes head*

To this day I still don't understand people wearing jeans to an interview. Regardless of where you'll be working.
