Opportunities in Current Events

HR called me into the office today. What I had said to the ASM last week triggered an investigation. They wanted me to give a statement about what I had reported last week to Emily. I couldn’t recall what I had reported at first. Then it hit me. I knew exactly what I had said which would have caused the store to react. During a meeting with our team, my supervisor read some of our metrics to us. I said that I saw a pattern that looked like internal theft. Her response was to tell me that I shouldn’t care. She doesn’t care. She told all of us that we shouldn’t care because it was the store’s problem. I went on about all of the other times she had gone on that tangent.

Noel is on holiday this week. Helen told me that it is for 3 weeks. She told me a little secret. His drinking buddy is her son and her son told her that he maximized his holiday because he is not coming back. He has a job in healthcare lined up. He used up his benefits and wants to use up his holidays first. So I have a potential full-time position opening up for me.

At a separate place of employment. Alex went to her HR about me. She works at the non-profit I interviewed for last summer. They did not hire me that round. They remember me and want me to apply again. They think I would be perfect for youth support. They have a full-time position available. I basically have that in the bag.

That opportunity happened so fast. It pays $6 more an hour than what I am currently making. It’s a more rewarding job. It is social work. I would be a mentor for Aboriginal youth. I would be sponsoring families that move to the city from reservations. I’m very nervous about the change. I don’t even know what this means for my schooling. I don’t have much time to think about it. I don’t even know what the job itself looks like. What do the hours look like? Is it shift work? If I get hired, I’m buying a car at the earliest opportunity.

I’m streaming my physics class right now. I’m wondering how I’m going to get caught up. I’m like, two units behind. I have to study for my chem test tomorrow. I have less than a month left. I just want this to be over with already. I cannot handle the pressure, honestly.

On with my studies then.
