Job Update

In case you were still wondering about the job reference in the previous post, I was offered a part-time position at a local video store. It’s only a few hours a week, but it’s a video store! Since I was very young I always thought that working PT at a video store would be the bestest job on earth (high aspirations, I know. But it is a step up from the service station attendant I idolized in my preschool days.)

So now I am gainfully employed by the illustrious movie rental industry. How is it, you ask? Disappointingly, as is the case with everyone who has idolized a minimum wage job at some point, I have come to discover a horrid reality… it’s a job. I vacuum floors. I Windex glass surfaces. I print out reports. I make change. I make a lot of change. I answer questions for cranky customers. I answer questions for wonderful customers. Yes, my friends, it is, unfortunately, work.

But, hell, if you’ve gotta work a min wage job, a movie store freakin’ rocks!!! Ok, let’s not even get into the free rental situation. I now have a use for my myriads of useless movie trivia! I now have an excuse for watching at least 9 movies a week! Yes! Yes! Yes!

You’d think that watching six to eight new releases a week would give me more of a reason to update my video reviews section. Well, you’d be right, it does. But the difference between should and would may become pretty damn apparent. I’ll try…. Really, I will.
