So it’s official now…I have a job. I quit Sbarros the first week of November, and have been living since then off my bonus from my summer ice cream job. As of 15 minutes ago, I’m an assistant manager at Wendy’s. It’s not really the path I wanted to take, but it comes with full benefits, a generous starting pay, a 48 hour work week, and tuition reimbursement after a year. If nothing else, I can work for a while, use the tuition help to finance my college, and get myself into a better career.
Even if I don’t become a lifer, I have something to get me out of the house! No more soap operas!!!
Last I knew, unless you’re under a certain age (though I have no idea what age), you can work longer, even at an hourly job. I had a factory job in college that had a 50 hour workweek; 10 hours 5 days a week.
As long as you’re paid overtime after 40 hours, they can abuse you as much as they want. During my summer ice cream job, I was working 10-10, 6 days a week. 48 hours sounds a billion times better than 72 hours!!!
Cute story, but you’ll of course forgive me if I say I don’t believe a word of it, right? It was just a clever way for you to introduce one of you favorite jokes into this thread, correct? First off, why would anyone ask such a question? And secondly, do really expect us to believe that there is still a need for a group of people called “web application architects”??
Oh, alright, if so, please let me know. I wouldn’t mind such a job right now myself.
