LOWE"S

Oh hey I should have mentioned I am now a member of productive society again. I started working at Lowe's at the beginning of May. I'm a head cashier which is the Lowes equivalent of the shift leader from Jack in the Box I was in a previous life aka 1996-2009. Its a good solid job to be honest. I started at the heard of sum of $11.87 an hour which is a full $2.27 more an hour than I was making when I left JIB so that right there is fan-freaking-tastic. Retail is a screwy world I must say. If I could make decent money in fast food and not be scoffed at for being 32 and working fast food I'd do it...its a whole different world. One nice thing with ff is instant happiness...you have immediate notice that you've made someone happy. If I sell someone paint or a doorknob I don't really get that. The nice thing is the lack of emphasis on speed of service which I believe always leads to hurting customer service...but that's a whole other post. Anyway I am enjoying the whole "being employed" thingy.
