sonjajadeI made more money today- JUST TODAY- than in some bi-weekly checks I got at Lane Bryant. After training I get 75 cents more on the hour for the shift differential, then $1 extra on weekends. AND I'll be able to take a vacation around Walt and Joey's birthdays (which is good because this year it's milestones for both of them, 5 and 40)- and it will be be a PAID vacation, something I think I have forgotten how to do lol.
Something I DEFINITELY forgot about was how long 8 hours actually is. I haven't worked full time in YEARS. This is gonna take some getting used to, especially when I move up to 10 hr days. Everyone seems really nice, found out several people watch Attack on Titan and I made a few buddies! It's not so scary now, but last night I had a panic attack that manifested as dizzy spells. Also had a stress/panic headache most of the day. The room they had us in was much too warm and very stuffy, and in the damned basement. Thankfully today was the only day we were in that room.
They fed us Jersey Mike's subs- considerably better than Subway, only because they didn't put lettuce on them before hand. I hate lettuce. I really am looking forward to being with them for a long time- our trainer started getting promotions after about 6 months. Right now, I'm about as exhauted as I can be. It was a TON of info to take in all in one day, and we haven't even started learning about what we'll eb doing, it was all paperwork and talking about the benefits and stuff.
fun fact- I can access LJ and tumblr from work, but not facebook or my email...

I'm not sure if there's any actual difference, but I think the bread they use at Jersey Mike's tend to taste better than Subway's.
