Got the Other Job as Well!

Okay well I knew I got the other job for over a week. This post is just a holy-cow-I-managed-to-survive kind of post.
Well if you didn't already know I applied to the evil corporation that is Mc Donald's. This I have to say might be my worst idea yet. I have officially finished my first week of training. It was 5 days of torture. At least my shifts didn't start too early. I work in the back/ kitchen area making the heart-attack burgers that you've all come to love. Yes, sometimes I'm ashamed that I'm adding to the obesity of the country for a few measly bucks but hey! a girls got to make money somehow!
Any who oh god was it a pain or what! I got trained by this old lady who would complain about everything! She complained about the manager saying she complained too much, which she did. Being the quick learner that I am I learned how to make all the burgers within the first day, or at least all the frequently ordered ones. The second day the old witch put me on the grill. Now if you have ever worked at a Mc Dee's you'd know what I'm talking about. It was this clunky machine with two presses. You'd place the meat on the flat HOT surface and then press the two buttons for the press to come down. I wasn't very good at this because well IT WAS MY FIRST TIME! Gah the old bat kept me on grill the entire day. The thing that I hate the most is that she knew I couldn't do it and so she kept making me do it. Okay so maybe it was something along the lines of tough love but still. Ugh soooo annoying! When the press comes up the meat has been cooked and so all the grease that was in the pattie is splattering everywhere and you have to season the meat by sticking you hand right above the patties, careful not to touch the press that is looming right above at an angle and "hammer shot" the seasoning on.
Oh the other thing that bothers me is the old bat won't ever clean the damn grill anymore! Oyy, she always makes me do it and then complains that I didn't do it well enough. Thank gosh I'm not working with her next week. but I probably will be at the end of August when I start at the CNE. BLAH!!!
Anywho's that enough Mc Dee's rant for today. Catch you all soon!

I Got The Job!

Okay people's this is going to be a short one. So I applied to the CNE for the position of ticket seller and I got it! woot! The only things left for me to do is get a criminal background check, because apparently Ontario has the highest amount of identity theft. Eeek! Anywho and after the background check I have to attend orientation. That's about it.
I've also applied to Mc. Donald's and I have no clue what is happening with that because one person is saying that I'm going to be hired and the other says that I've ALREADY been hired. Sooooo confusing. Anyways hopefully it works out. If not then the Ex if good enough for me. =)

The Job Hunt

So with Canada's booming economy and the exportation of jobs to third world countries because they have a cheaper labour market, this year's job hunt has become extremely difficult. Today my friends and I went downtown to the CNE in hopes to find a job. Today was their job fair and although that sounds like it would have been located in a major hall with posters explaining job positions and such, we sadly came to realize that it was nothing of the sort. In fact the "job fair" (if one can call it such) was located in a dingy room thing where the line up twisted and turned and stretched far outside the actual building itself. Ugh it was insane. I think my friends and I waited around one and a half hours to FINALLY get to the desk and that only gets me an group interview and my resume handed in. Honestly that kind of blows.
Now don't get me wrong, it's not like the CNE is the only place that I've applied to that has given me this impression. I've applied to pretty much all the stored in the major mall close to my house and well no one has called me back yet. I've also applied to a Mc Donald's, a factory line... pretty much anywhere I could have I've applied and yet not one phone call back for an interview. It can get quite frustrating sometimes. And I'm not alone in this issue my guy friend D is having the same problems as well.

So to end off my blog today I will quote my ingeneous friend S... *said in high pitch, enthusiastic child voice* "Snakes are people too!"
