If the new contract comes up that we are supposed to get, I am going to pretty much make my president hire her, because she can prove herself after that, she just needs to get her foot in the door.

Had an interview yesterday for a bartender job and got it :yay: Looks like my boss is going to be super chill, he kept on saying how everyone here was easy going and that the job was easy. Gonna have a few shifts per week then maybe full time during the summer. Decent pay + tips.

I'm also meeting some people today for a month long gig working to prepare a Pharmacy to open. Gonna be for March only, pay is decent so I don't mind doing the shitty job. Plus I know a couple of guys there that I used to work with like 3 years ago, should be easy money.

Meanwhile I'm still going to be looking for a ''real'' job in my field, but at least I'm gonna have some cash coming in while I look.

Just got a call from Safelite Auto (Window Repair/Replace Tech) and they want me to start ASAP.. only thing is, they want a 3 yr commitment, where if you leave, you owe them either 6, 4, or 2k depending on how far along you are - and gotta buy your own tools.

They don't pay well enough to warrant that :hs:
