WAHOO! I've got a job!

[Squeeky]

Well, sort of. :o

I went out and got a slew of applications today.

Put in an E-Application at the kiosk in Albertsons. Got an application from Jamba Juice, Subway, and Chik-Fil-A. And then on the way home, I thought "Eh, what the hey, i'll talk to the manager at Two Brothers from Italy". Two Brothers from Italy is a local Pizza place. Some of you may know I worked at Pizza Factory for 5 months tossing pie's, so I have experience.

I walked in, he was making a sub for some other customers. He asked me what he could get me, I told him I was here to apply for a job. He told me that unfortunately he was only hiring cooks. I explained to him that, fortunately I have 5 months experience tossin :D.

He had me take off my jacket right then and there, and toss a friggin pizza. :lol:

He told me my skill was good, but that i'd have to adapt to their tossing style. They dont use pins, they crust their pie's, and they palm knead. I can pick up the style in 2 days work, guranteed :D :D

The catch is, I am on a 2 week probationary period. If I cant hack the work, I get cut. I highly doubt I wont be able to handle it, but if I dont make it after 2 weeks, i'll just turn in the apps I picked up today. PROFIT++

Cliffs:
1. Drive around town applying for jobs
2. Stop by Pizza Place
3. Toss Pizza for owner, hired on spot.
4. Start Monday @ 4:00pm
5. 2 week probationary period. If I suck during those 2 weeks, I get canned. If not, i'm on part time working 30 hours a week.

I'm psyched. :D :D :D

~$30 hrs /week @ $6.75 /hr = $775-800 /month

:)

By the way, I talked to a little betty at Chik-Fil-A. She's 19, she FLEW OUT from Tennesee for the opening to train the new employee's. She asked my name, and we chit-chatted and I was so close to asking her out but then the manager lady handed me the application and I had to leave. She smiled at and eyed me the whole way out. UNF SHE WAS HOT!

That accent made me melt.

BTW, They just had a grand opening 2 days ago. They have the Chik-Fil-A cow dancing there in the costume. It was rad.

She asked my name, and we chit-chatted and I was so close to asking her out but then the manager lady handed me the application and I had to leave. She smiled at and eyed me the whole way out. UNF SHE WAS HOT!

I think she was trying not to laugh at your lisp.

[Squeeky]

I think she was trying not to laugh at your lisp.

You die now.

[Smaug]

You die now.

I can't believe people still remember the joke about your lisp. :lol:

Anyway, Great job Squeeky! Go you! Get that pizza place job and then take that Chik-Fil-A chick out!

You keep working at these pizza places you'll have enough experience to open your own one day. Just don't advertise you use your own hand made special sauce.

[Infernus]

Sounds nice... nice pay too... =/ i need a new job. Can't be in any food related area though... I'd eat the food...

[JFPhoenix]

Hey, make me a pizza and deliver it in the middle of Kansas!

[Bighoss]

Jobs and money are good... yea...

[DropShipEdward]

very sweet squeeky, and tossin is fun!! :groovy:

[Firefly]

WAHOO! I've got a job!
Congrats on your new job as a Fluffer. :lol:

[Pilgrim]

6.75 is good money?

[TheN00b]

6.75 is good money?

Psst: I think he's dirt broke, and considers it to be such. It's odd, I know.

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Selling clothes to forgo a straight job rules.

[Triggar]

6.75 is good money?

When you're inexperienced, unqualified for "real" work, broke, and have no other choice, hell yeah it's good money...

...I know because I was thrilled to be making $7.50 for Pier 1 :lol:

[Setari]

chickfila = win. we've got em all over the place here. pizza is good too.

[starbum]

Can you toss salad?

[Cauldron Borne]

^^ I used to know how to do that...

Nice going squeeky. longest i've ever held a job was three weeks. I get bored easy, and find ways to get myself fired...

I think i've done everything San Diego has to offer. waiter, construction, lawn service, janitor, Beach Custodian (THAT rocked. got to hang out with a bunch of hot chicks all day...), bus boy, fast food, clerk, accountant's assistant, worked for a tour company for a while..., cabin boy on a Harbor Fisherman (that's a kind of boat, you sickos...), etc.

[firecrackerNC]

Cool. Hopefully I get my job at Costco, with $10/hr plus $15-$20 in tips its all good.

[Ivan]

Can you toss salad?
:rofl: :lol:

I'm sure Squeeky can toss a mean salad. :brow:

[TheN00b]

Cool. Hopefully I get my job at Costco, with $10/hr plus $15-$20 in tips its all good.

Tips? At Costco :doh: ?

[Jennyboo]

Good luck Squeeky :)

[Hamma]

I remember when I worked for 5.75 picking vegtables at a farm.

I would rather die than go back to that time.

You're mexican? :confused:

[firecrackerNC]

When you help people put stuff away they give you tips and stuff. Technically you arent supposed to tip them and all but people still do. Its not alot on a good day its like $20 but $20 +$10/hr = rich man.

[Firefly]

Psst: I think he's dirt broke, and considers it to be such. It's odd, I know.
As a manager trainee for a private company, I made $14 an hour and worked 40 hours a week plus 15 hours at time-and-a-half. I commanded that price because of my previous experience, where other trainees were lucky to make ten an hour. When I completed training, I became one of the highest-paid managers in the company.

$6.75 is low-end, even our new cooks start out at that rate.

[starbum]

You're mexican? :confused:

You didnt notice his accent and his uncanny ability to create cliches?

[TheN00b]

Ah, gotcha'. The whole big box culture is wholly alien to me.

Firefly, what's your point? My mom makes $17 an hour at the local food co-op.

[Hamma]

You're mexican? :confused:
:lol: It was under the table too :brow:

[Firefly]

Firefly, what's your point? My mom makes $17 an hour at the local food co-op.
Yeah but you're Canadian and 17 Canadian dollars is worth about five bucks.

Otherwise, I'd be able to buy a carton of smokes for less than sixty bucks in Nova Scotia.

Hamma ^^

Hamma ^^http://img110.exs.cx/img110/2263/bumblebee.gif I prefer to think of him as picking fruit in his "uniform".

[Triggar]

Yeah but you're Canadian and 17 Canadian dollars is worth about five bucks.

Not with the US economy as shitty as it is now.

$17 Canadian = $14.20 US

[Glaynor]

Hamma, you made $5 under the table? Were you going under the table to make that money? If so, you probably should have been making more.

<Awful imagery of someone zipping up pants as Hamma crawls out from under table>

No need to imagine dude. I've got the video somewhere. The look on Juan's face is priceless.

[Triggar]

Juan? Didn't he go by "Loquisha" when he was "in-character"?

[Ivan]

Well I don't know about that but when Hamma and I had our "night" together with Chiahamma he went by "Heather." ;)

[TheN00b]

Say what? I live in Oly., WA, US of A. At least, I did the last time I checked.

[Cauldron Borne]

it's the same thing.

WA = Canadia, ye hooser

[Squeeky]

I went to my first day today. I show up, the boss's wife isnt in yet, so I wait around. 25 minutes later :rolleyes: she shows up. I get my shirt (XXL, I wear a M) and my hat. I change, and get started on training. Good news? I'm gonna be working 25-30 hours a week. I will be making $8.00 an hour (fucking woot, only cooks get this wage) and i'll be cooking only. That means: No mopping, dusting, dishes, vacuuming, taking out the trash, sweeping. I'll be answering phones/taking orders, and spending most of my time cooking. Cook's rarely do any work.

I'm happy about this job. Good wages, hours, and people. We always have a cuet little betty working the register, either the owner, or his wife, and 2 cooks and a Driver (or 2). Works out great. Now, the bad news of the night :(.

I was going to get some cheese out of the big walk-in freezer. For those who dont know, walk-in's are like walk-in closets, but they freeze stuff :lol:. And the door to said walk-in is huge, like a vault door. Well, the door is kind of old and to open it you have to use a little brute force. I used too much, swung it open, and caught it between the door and the wooden make table. OUCH! First thing I think is "Shit, I'm fucking up already". Then the owner's wife says to me:

Owners wife: David....go to the bathroom
Me: What? Sorry, was an accident
Owners wife: Oh my...holy....quick
Me: :confused: (at this point I finally look down)

My hand was dripping blood like a faucet and I was bleeding all over the place. I was too emberassed that I didnt even realize it. After running it under water, I got it bandaged. The nail itself was black and blue, and i'll probably lose it :(.

I tried to be hardcore and take a pic for you, but I couldnt bear to take off the bandaid. It was stuck to the nail, and pulling on the adhesive hurt like a motherfucker. I got a pic anyways.

http://img40.exs.cx/img40/1871/g0ob0rkedfingar.jpg

It's throbbing like a bass drum right now.

I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep.

[starbum]

Pizza Shop [Door] Squeeky

[JetRaiden]

you got a pic of your mutalated finger nail but not this hot co worker??

get your priorities straight!

[TheN00b]

it's the same thing.

WA = Canadia, ye hooser

Die, ye' filthy yankee! We're just as American... Well, maybe not...

[Glaynor]

You know Squeeky we had a great thread derailing going on about Hamma and you had to ruin it by your injury. j/k.

That must hurt like a bitch. Were they upset with you about the door? I hope not. Take tylenol to help curb the pain. You may want to take the badnage off (even though it will kill) so that they sticky part isn't right on where you are injured. Taht isn't good to have there.

Good news is maybe the hottie will give you some, erm, 'sympathy'.

[Squeeky]

They werent mad.

I have to wear a food handlers glove on that hand until it heals. :(

I look like MJ walking around with that glove.

[Hamma]

:rofl: @ this thread

[Squeeky]

Owner: Dave, you'll need to wear a food handlers glove until that heals
Co-worker: Haha, Michael Jackson
Me: *Ow* *dance move*, just dont let me near any small children
*customer at counter glares at me*

:(

[Cauldron Borne]

I'd have to agree, Squeeky...yer priorities are in the wrong place:

You have a camera, and a girl made for it, yet you decided to smash your finger and take a picture of that, instead....

And I'd smashed plenty of apendages (no, not THAT one...sickos...). Hurts like a muthafucka. Take a bucket of ice and stick that hand in there for about an hour a night. The swelling will go down. The pain will go away (for a while) and you'll be healed about three days faster. Working in construction teaches you stuff...like never, EVER, let go of a sledgehammer....*shudder*
