I Finally Got a Job

[Glovey]

I work at Quizno's. Today was my first day. The people that work there are pretty cool, and the job is pretty easy. Hardest part is remembering which subs are which, what goes on each sub, etc.

I've been putting in applications for over a year, and I'm finally employed! Now I can buy stuff without moochin' off my parents. B)

Congrats!

They are opening a Quiznos around the corner from me. It's only the second Quiznos in the City of Philadelphia.

congrats. How much are you making?

Beautiful. I'll have a grilled chicken breast on wheat, mustard, LIGHT lettuce - LIGHT DAMMIT! - tomato, green peppers and some italian dressing... melt some provolone on there while you're at it. And make it the combo, I'll take a bag of Fritos and a Diet Coke. Make it snappy, I don't have all day.

Six-something. I forgot.

kconn - I'm just the wrapper, man. I just take your sandwich out of the oven, put lettuce on it, and wrap it.

When I returned the HR person said I should have an offer the in the next few days. They came and went. I couldn't get an answer from the HR person, so I called the recruiter. He tried for two more days. Finally they called him and told I wasn't technical enough. It then hit me what happened. I was so pissed I couriered over a copy of my books, the last five functional specifications I completed and the last three project documentation binders to the hiring manager. Never heard from them. I was so depressed as it was my "perfect" job. As it turns out, I found the position I am in shortly after that and it truly is the perfect position for me. I love it.
