work.
Brian had two interviews at Meijer this week for a part-time 2nd shift position, and he came home after the second interview with not only the job, but a smile on his face. A smile even knowing that he's going to have to work not only Thanksgiving, but Christmas too and through all of our happy little weekends. But that's my husband - he knows where we need to be financially and it doesn't matter to him that he already works 40-50 hours a week; he's going to keep on goin'. Frank Lloyd Wright said it best - "I know the price of success - dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."
I, too, applied at Meijer - my first interview is tonight at 5, right after I leave the office. If I get a position, I'm holding out hope that we would at least get a few of the same shifts, since our availability is the same. That'd be nice. I honestly do NOT want to work there. I don't know if it's because all of my siblings at one time or another all worked at Meijer and I'd like to break the cycle. Um, yeah, more likely it's that I just don't want to work two jobs again. I hate working two jobs at once. I think a small part of it is that I feel like I should definitely be making enough in my office job that I shouldn't have to get a part-time gig - I know Brian feels that way too.
But also I think I just really don't want to work at Meijer. I'm going with Lena Horne on this one - "Always be smarter than the people who hire you." Yeah, I'm thinkin' that won't be too much of a problem.
"It don't blow no cold air at me."
