I've been looking for a job for exactly one year, six months, and twelve days. Today I saw a Help Wanted sign at the 7Eleven at a local gas station. Training is next week. The hours are pretty good, even if they run a little later than I'd hoped for, and it's not minimum wage.
I'm kind of dazed. And happy. Really, really happy. I really needed this.

Huzzah!
I'm happy for you. I know how much you need the extra income, and how you need something else in your life besides just school!

Thanks everyone Training starts this Wednesday. I'm a bit nervous, as apparently handling gas transactions can get a little difficult, but I'm bringing a notebook and pen with me so I'll remember. I can handle rude customers and long hours, I just want to make sure that I'm kept after the trial run!

You go! I always recommend a notebook and pen to anyone I train, even if they give you loads of paperwork and a manual, you know better than they what tips you'll forget, and the short cuts are never in the official paperwork.

My first day was today. I liked it a lot, the people are very friendly and any initial misunderstandings were cleared up very quickly. The customers were generally great and my coworkers are awesome. My whole body aches from standing all day, but it's completely worth it. I work again on Wednesday
