Did another paid psych experiment, have 3 more scheduled for next week. I also got money in the mail today, as in actual money for actual work. Holy shizzy! $$$! Wound up running around afterwards getting apps for some grunt work-ish off-campus jobs--I figure that, since I will eventually need a new second job, I might as well try to get one that I can actually *keep* once I'm no longer a student.

And, because I was soliciting stores at Oakway Center for job apps, I stopped briefly at Old Navy, because I thought I might get a job. Yeah, granted, I've vowed never to shop there solely based on the fact that I hate their commercials with a fiery passion, and I don't believe in rewarding such phenomenally bad advertising. But just because I work there doesn't mean I have to shop there, right?

Well, let me tell YOU, I walked into Old Navy today, and it was the most disturbing 60 seconds of my LIFE. All the employees looked like they belonged to some freaky Abercrombie & Crotch cult, and were sporting these brightly-colored, incredibly preppie Old Navy uniform shirts, *everyone* was wearing a fscking headset for no discernible reason that I could find, and the decor of the place was all flashing and blinking and so freaking cheerful that it was just plain CREEPY.

At that point, I decided I wasn't quiiite that desperate for extra money, and bolted for the exit.

I went to the soft cloth car wash on Coburg later on--it's much nicer on my finish than the little brush wash at the Texaco. I came home and waxed the ride after that, which was kind of a pain in the ass, but at least it's done now. Shiny! <3

Nothing else on tap today... probably going to just kick back for the evening, and maybe do some freelance or internshippy bits later on, if this headache goes away.

Job Hunt

If you can deal with waiting tables, I heartily recommend looking into Outback. It's actually a tremendously fun job, and you make money. Outback is very kind to their employees (I swore I'd never wait tables again, then HAD to have a job-- that was a year and a half ago).

Awesome! I've waited tables before, and it's not quite my first choice of job, but Outback *is* one of our favourite places to go out for dinner, when we can afford it. :) I'll check it out soon.

Haha. A couple of my friends worked at Old Navy. The headsets work the same way walkie-talkies do in Targets, which is, if a person gets a call the Operator can inform them(like if it's something about their department). And they can be called to back-up cashier when it gets busy. Or so their bosses can tell to come somewhere specific to get told what to do some more. When I worked at Target I'd turn mine off sometimes cause I'm a bad employee.
