So last night goes fine. I had to do all of the decking and clean the grill. Okay, I got all the shit work because I was the only guy, that's okay once in awhile. Well, today is another day. Forget what I did yesterday, it's all about what I can do today. No breaks for those who work hard, only the slackers. I try to be a nice guy, cover a four hour shift today and tomorrow, well the guy I was covering for is out of jail. So I get to work, he's there, I'm there. Simple right, I go home, no. The other male closer for tonight (which I am closing again tonight) called in. His doctor is going to induce labor in his girlfriend. Nevermind that this is the second kid he's popped out of this girl and he is only nineteen. He's also got a warrant out for his arrest. But hey, cna we ask for good workers, no. So the ask another guy to cover his close. Great, except he's already worked nine hours today and that would put him well over a twelve hour workday. Don't worry though, he won't be on overtime because in fast food there is no such thing as an eight hour work day. So finally I make it home, I'm going back at six to survey the situation. I don't get paid enough for this.

I don't know why you're working in fast food...you seem like you could do more with what you have...

I'm working in fastfood because there wasn't much other choice for me.

I'm in school and no other place wants to deal with my ever changing schedule. My job, to a certain extent gives me freedom.

Besides that, no other places of employment seem to be hiring, and I don't fit some molds. I am a big guy so some interviewers think I am lazy. Other people think that I am not suited to a "soft job." Or even that I am not attractive enough to fill a sales postition. So I guess those are the many reasons I work in a fast food resturaunt. I have applied for other jobs, but I haven't been contacted for an interview. I've been working in fastfood for one year, I never stopped looking for a new job, but I have an interview Thursday at a video store.

It's small town life.

Thank you for adding me to your friends list by the way.
