You know, the type where you can order like Snoopy blankets and garfield accessories.<BR/><BR/>Alright, well, I GOT to open all the mail that came in and sort checks, cash and orders. (Fun, right?) We used these gigantic automated machines that sucked the envelope, cut it, opened it, and we jsut had to pluck the inards from it.<BR/><BR/>I got in trouble like every week for talking too much. They said that that I couldn't work as efficiently while talking. Except my company was a middle aged woman, another girl my age and a retired man. I was the fasted mail opener/ sorter they had ever seen! Except, I still had to go into the office from time to time to be lectured about talking too much (it's a problem that has plagued me my whole life!)<BR/><BR/>It was totally ghetto, for for $10+/her... who's complaining. It was better than the previous positiion which was photo processing at the W. Which I also semi-enjoyed but when they wouldn't give me the day off to go river rafting with the YSA, I quite. (good job etiquette, huh?)<BR/><BR/>I'll have to post my few other job experiences sometime on my site!azufelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14275741701132788695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549791772278227873.post-14555039400721969402008-08-08T09:31:00.000-05:002008-08-08T09:31:00.000-05:00Brain overload - too much to comment on: matchmaki...Brain overload - too much to comment on: matchmaking, Utah's job market, Utah's kids, tutoring, overqualified job seekers, multiple W-2's, etc.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I will just say that Utah's job market artificially deflates wages due to a bunch of qualified people who won't move away for anything. We've heard Boston is the same way, so we crossed it off our list of possible places to live. If I'm going to put in the time, I want competitive compensation.

I remember when you called to tell me, and I talked to our other roommate about it, trying to decide if we should tell her. hahahaha. Good times.

Since my degree was in Humanities/English, that tells you how desperate they were at Dixie College for Math tutors--but at least these were high school and college students who mostly wanted to do well.Corbett Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920438534548292675noreply@blogger.com
