Ergh, maybe I won’t be going back to Subway.

I talked to the manager today and he said the only shift he could offer me was “six o’clock to midnight.” 😮 MIDNIGHT?! Luckily, there is a nightbus which runs every half-hour, but if I don’t get out of there in time, I might be better off just walking home. Even though this place is only seven blocks from my house, and I can walk there in fifteen or twenty minutes—but walking by myself, at midnight, is a prospect I really don’t look forward to.

Arrgh. Oh, and it’s on the weekends, which is something I wouldn’t be able to keep up during the school year, and my major goal is to find a job not just for the summer, but throughout the year as well.

Complicating the problem is that no one else has called back yet. Well, it’s more and more applying, I guess, a bit of calling, and–if I’m desperate–I guess I could take the job. :tensed: (Despite all I say, he did seem keen on hiring someone for that position.) I would really rather not, though, for more reasons than one.

The manager/owner has a very heavy East Indian accent. Or maybe my hearing’s just bad; in either case, I have a tough time understanding him sometimes.

There are washrooms, even though this Subway is even smaller than the last one I worked at. I kid you not. What you see is what you get in that place. Washrooms = me washing them. 😥

On the other hand, my memory is fairly good; I could rattle off (with hesitation) the formulas for several sandwiches. Unfortunately, when I made a sandwich (he wanted to see how much training I’d need) I forgot it was Tuesday and that there was a special. 🙁

He kept reiterating how “nothing much had changed.” I’ll say. Same touchscreen, same formulas… only one new bread, but they got rid of my favourite. Alas!

Eeew…washrooms. At my work, we have to check the washrooms every fifteen minutes (not like anyone ever does though), and then make sure the counters are wiped down, toilets flushed, toilet paper off the floor, etc. *shudder* Once, on new year’s day, someone vomited in the ladies room and i had to clean it up.

If it’s any consilation, I’m also finding it a bitch to look for a job. Out of 44 resumes only one callback, and they had such a stack of resumes I doubt I’m getting in. Well, good luck with the search!
