don't let The Man get you down

It's Thursday.  I had an interview this morning with the Container Store.  They make that place seem like the best fucking place to work EVER.  They keep talking about people that just came on to do temporary stuff and then never leave and how they hardly have any turnover rate at all because everyone loves it so much and how they have a whole bunch of people on staff but they only are going to take about 9% of the people they're interviewing right now and I don't know.  I just know that if I get hired there, I'm going to take it.  Seems awesome, it's just a bunch of organizational stuff.  Hell, who knows, maybe I'll find my secret career there.  They are all about letting me be who I am at work and they were like, "We're not afraid of the word sell because for us, it's the same as the word help.  We work in organization!"  and the thing about it is, in any other retail store that would sound skeezy, but in the Container store, they're right.  They have great benefits for part-timers, in fact they said in that huge store with over 100 people employed, they only have about 16 full timers.  I don't know how they did it, but they got me all jazzed up about crap.  I start at the museum on Monday, which I'm ever so excited about.  It's about time.  I calculated it out, and if I get fired from Vicky-S for not sticking to the availability I put down when I got hired, I'll still have enough money to make it if I'm working as many hours as I want to at the museum (being 30 hours a week) because that's still part time.  So now it's just juggling everything.  I found my dream planner, too.  Oh...planners.  I get a hard-on for planners.  The one planner I stuck to really well I just lost about a month ago and it's driving me bonkers.  So my dream planner is from a website called starthereny.com which a friend of mine introduced me too since that's where she got her planner from.  I was looking at hers and I freaking love it.  It's the perfect size and has both monthly and weekly planning junk in it.  That's all I ask and you'd be surprised at how many planners do NOT have those things.  It's stupid.  So.  I think things are right on track again....well, for the most part.  I'm still super nervous about getting my money shit together but it will all work out eventually.  It may take some time, but I'm actively trying to get it done which means this frustration only stems from a helplessness that I feel about now being able to control my income at this point.  Damn.  Thanks for reading!!!  Hope you have a great rest of your Thursday, I know I will!
