The Turkey's Nest is now serving dark & stormies on special. Two great tastes that taste great, etc.

This morning I interviewed for a job I really don't want, to the tune of 40 hours a week at 9 am and as my old boss would say, "tiny money." My problem is I don't know how to say no to these people. It's just so nice to be wanted. Also, how do you answer this question: "So why do you want this position answering the phone and receiving packages?"

1) Honestly: for the health benefits and because I know I won't do it for more than 4 months
2) A big lie: because I like interacting with people! And being part of a team.

Hahaha. Interviews kill me. Esp. second interviews. I took no less than 3 suitcases out of storage at 8 am this morning looking for an outfit that will cover my tattoos, has no obvious holes, matches, and doesn't say something like "Corona Ice King" or have dinosaurs on it.

Hey thanks. Unfortunately to prospective employers they apparently signal "Junkie" and "Thief" though.

watch out for this trick

[carpyscreed.livejournal.com]

the '90-day probation period', whereby benefits such as health insurance are withheld for the first three months, under the auspices of 'trying each other out' - to determine if you & the employer are suitable for each other. More & more businesses are doing this to sneakily weed out people who are only in it for the insurance, and then leave after a short time period. I'd hate to see you take the mind-numbing job with the 'tiny pay' only to be thwarted by such a nasty trick.

Oh, I got burned by my last job, where they withheld benefits and paid me a lower salary than they offered for 5 months, saying they would kick in at 6 months. Then they fired me! What a scam, right?

I feel like such a big faker. This time I actually complained in a backhanded way about past bosses, by saying I wanted to work with supervisors who were available and would train me (sounds like a given, but it's not!)
