I got a job with Staples as a part-time cashier. I’m excited about it because I love office supplies!!!! I discovered a “secret” supply cabinet at my previous job and it pretty much made my day – yes I am a loser, lol. After examining how excited it made me and how out of place that reaction was considered, I decided that I definitely needed to work around people who (are more likely to) share my enthusiasm about office supplies. I think I have found that at Staples. I’m still in the training/paperwork process, but I have cash register experience so I think I’ll adapt quickly. I was hired Thursday and officially begin checkout duties next week (probably including black Friday).
I’m not too excited about the actual position and definitely not the somewhat denigrating pay grade lol, but the workplace itself is attractive to me (and nearby!). Also, I will be able to work more hours for more money $$$; the pay was very good at my last job (with the city) but the hours were limited, meh. I’ve met a few of the coworkers over the last week (the managers are cool, as are some of the front-end staff). We’ll see how it plays out, I’m very happy with it so far.
