Yay!

I had an interview yesterday for the Food Co-op in Ann Arbor...and they called me today and hired me

So not only will I be working there, but I will also be going to school full-time, doing a 100 hour internship, PLUS working at the dance studio two days a week... LOL...and I have to sleep and fit in homework time. We'll see how this works out. I can FINALLY start saving up to move out! I graduate from college in December and want to move out as soon as possible afterward because homelife is less than steller...and has been for a long while.

*does a little dance*

I'm happy today.

 

Wow congrats


Yay for you!

 

cool!! working in a grocery store rules! and a co-op.. that'd be even cooler... lucky!

 

I've never worked in a grocery store before...but I have worked in retail and I really liked it. The co-op is really cool and the people there are super nice...so I'm excited.

 

i loved working in the natural grocery store years ago.. especially when i got free samples .. and free food

 

What will you be doing there? That is close to your boyfriends house, you can practically walk.

 

I'll be a cashier, but hopefully they'll move me up to team leader after a few months...they have already mentioned it, but they need me to get experienced in their system first...

And I do plan on walking/riding my bike...It only takes about four or five minutes by bicycle. I timed it. We'll most likely be moving in together after I graduate, so it's pretty perfect, actually.

 

That sounds great! You must be so excited about all of this change.

Where is your internship at?

 

I am excited...although I'm going back to teach at the dance studio...even after all the crap I went through last year.

My internship is at the Ecology Center over on Division...also, only a few blocks from my bf's house

 

Wow, you've got it all going on right now. Cool.


Congrats again

 

Thanks

 

Congratulations! Getting a job and having enough money to live your life is such a good feeling. I hope you enjoy it.

By the way sorry, I'm mentally retarted (Australian), what is a food co-op exactly?

 

A co-op has foods that are mostly local. The members that pay a yearly fee basically "own" the store. They also carry a lot of organic and natural foods (packaged, etc.) at a reasonable price. It's very community-oriented.

yay! i guess we're officially coworkers now. come into the kitchen sometime and say hellllo to me!

 

what's your major annie? are you getting your BA right now?

congratulations on all the stuff going on! good luck in everything!

 

My major is environmental studies with a concentration in political science. It's a BA (if I was environmental SCIENCE, then it'd be a BS).

I'm just glad to be getting my LIFE started...this schooling stuff is seriously holding me back from what I feel like I should be doing. Of course, what I should be doing is probably not casheiring, it is at least getting me closer to being independent.

 

Wow, that sounds like the sort of ethical job that most people dream of. Well done
