Today was orientation at my new job. That's right, 7 hours of watching mind-numbing videos, listening to managers talk, and filling out forms. I'm not sure if $7.45 an hour is too much for that, or not enough.
I'll be working at the North Ames Wal-Mart as a "sales associate" in the Pets, Paper, and Household Chemical (and possibly even Hardware) Departments. My schedule for this week and the next two weeks (weeks in this case ending on Friday) is pretty simple: 4-8 pm on days starting with T, and 2-6 pm on days starting with S. Unfortunately, this does mean I'll be missing Salt for the next 3 weeks.
I'm currently still in my work clothes (navy polo and khaki slacks) except the footwear--currently wearing flip-flops. I didn't feel like changing into a shirt that I'm only going to wear for 5 hours in my apartment, and as I've mentioned before, I hate shoes.
Anyway, I also get to walk around with a box cutter. From the 15-minute safety and instruction video we had to watch for it, I would have thought it would cost more than this. I would have thought it would be at least as expensive as my DVD player was.
I'm also lucky enough to have the locker that is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Of course, this means I want to get that book even more now.
