Observation Day

I'm a few hours away from Observation Day. It's the named day that Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. uses to evaluate perspective employees. Throwing me into the fire and seeing if I get burned. However, it is also a day for me to evaluate them. As much as this could be a very good short-term job for me, if I think the supervisors are expending a lot of energy running in circles, I will opt out. Depends on the team feel of the place.

That said, [livejournal.com profile] pdi posted about two jobs available in a dildo factory. One as warehouse manager and one as a jack of all trades. either of those could be a lot of fun. I've asked him to inquire about the Warehouse Manager job with is source. It's strictly a M-F 8-5 job. I would not mind getting back into that routine.

The nice thing about the DNC job (Grassroots Campaigns) is that it is short-term and I can still have a lot of time to work on my coaching business.

Either way, though, it would be some much needed income. A couple of years in which I can save a $1,000 a month would be very good. Very good.

Love.

I wonder if the dildo factory is the part of the same company my friend Plaid works with -- is it in National City??

It's in Chula Vista (close enough to National City).

It's a small world, too. I know a woman named Plaid. There can't be two!

The Warehouse Manager job doesn't quite pay enough for me to consider as long-term employment. I would probably only clear about $1K a month. There is something, though, about a regular schedule that I find appealing -- at the moment. :)

Chula Vista! Of course! [slaps hand to forehead] I knew it was in the south 'burbs somewhere. Yes, this Plaid is unmistakeable, no doubt about it. Too bad about the salary -- any potential for growth (erm, I just thought about how awful that pun is...sorry...)

Has to be the same women, then.

No growth potential at all, I expect. It's a small outfit with a small enough profit margin that no worker will get much.

If I'm going to get a "real" job, I'll go for the money. :)
