Back to SEEK I go.

So I aced my trial today. But I turned down the job. It was 4-5 days a week, long days. If I want to maintain my 6.5 GPA (or improve it) then that just isn't gonna work for me. I want maybe 2-3 days, max. So pretty disappointed, but when I take a step back and think about it, it's not really my kinda job anyway. About 60-70% of the job is putting people on hold to speak to other people. That's not how I work. I'm the kinda person who wants to deal with the problem straight away, and myself. That's why Video Ezy would have been great had it not been for the boss, the coworkers and the customers. The job description is exactly what I like. I did everything - ordering, returns, customer service, banking, merchandising, handling complaints. I like it that way. Either that, or if I have to be an underling, menial work like stacking shelves. So perhaps reception isn't my thing. I think that sadly, retail is my thing. That's pretty lame, if you ask me. But whatever.

Also, I'm having a movie night alone tonight, because the two people I messaged to see what they were doing tonight didn't bother replying. Thanks guys.

  1. Hey lovely girl, i was in a lecture when i got your text and forgot to reply. I KNEW you'd get the job, but i can understand why you turned it down, its hard not to be overwhelmed with respect for you tara when your prioritising your education over something that society values above all...money. Good luck finding a more flexible job, once again, you'll be fine :)
