so i went to the job interview and what a strange man he was! i wish i would have applied earlier because it's this cake job where you're cashiering for a pick-your-own-berries farm. and it pays $9/hr. which is very good for that position. anyway, i went up there and he had me write my info down then he had a list of questions/tasks that he filled out on the paper when i did them. i didn't notice until later but he was GRADING me!
so he asked if i had a car? yes. would you object to running errands, such as picking up ice? no. would you have a problem with attendance, every weekend until october? no.
then he showed me the cash register, taught me to ring things up and then had me do it. i did. hee no sweat. then he explained in GREAT detail what gross weight, taring, and net weight was. hee. i kept my mouth shut and let him talk. something i find hard to do when someone goes into great detail about something that does not require great detail. but then, he's probably dealing with high school kids or adults who barely made it through high school for this job.
so i ace the "taring" assignment and now he wants me to line a bucket with a plastic bag and secure it. these bags and buckets are what some people use to pick the berries. anyway, he shows me and i'm thinking no big deal. then he says, "go ahead and practice a few and when you think you have it let me know."
no he did not just tell me to practice!!
so i do one and, of course, it's a snap. you put the bag in the bucket, you pull the edges of the bag over the outside of the bucket, use another "special" bucket to get the air out, you adjust the bag so that the handle moves freely, then you fasten the bag with a large rubber band. done. so call him and he sees the one i did but he wants me to do one in front of him...so i do and when i pull the special bucket out static electricity causes the bag to puff out a bit cuz it stuck to the special bucket. and then he says well that was ok. go ahead and do this whole stack and get some practice.
mind you, i was rolling my eyes inside my mind. gimme a break. but i should have recognized that when he said practice the first time that this fella was ANAL!! especially after the GROSS-TARE=NET lecture. so it's my bad really. lol and i got a B on the buckets.
he had already offered the full time job to a woman who hasn't called him back yet. so i'm going to call him today. but i told him i'm definitely interested in the July job if she takes the cashier job. that's about 700-800 bucks just working 4 weekends. but if she doesn't take the other job he said he'd give it to me. so hee. let's hope the other lady doesn't call. I NEED THE MONEY!!!!!
