09:59 pm - Work Sucks.
Basically if I don't work my call-in shift on saturday, I'll have only worked a total of 3 hours this week. Which makes for a total of nine hours worked all summer so far. And next week I only have ten definite hours. I can't believe this is happening again. I wish I could've stayed at the Burnsville store, because they probably would've given me more. But at Rosedale, I'm technically a "new associate" so I get shafted with hours. Except, this time around I don't get paid for training (which I almost need considering that this store sells more than my old store). I even told the manager before I started that I need at least 30 hours a week. And while she said that she couldn't guarantee that, she said everything would average out (meaning some weeks I might work less and some weeks I'd work more), but that has yet to happen. How am I supposed to pay the bills? Gas? Food? And on top of everything, I'm trying to save money for our California trip.
My parents are telling me to find a new job. But I don't see how I can. If I find one here, I'd have to either quit, transfer or commute come September. But if I find one nearer home I'd have to commute for the rest of the summer. And anyway, who knows how long I'd have this "day job"? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something better will happen for me. Something else my parents are bugging me about: not just a new job, but something full-time so I can get benefits. But for someone in my field that is extremely difficult! How the hell am I supposed to go on auditions if I'm working all day? I would need to find an unbelievably flexible job/schedule. And I'm pretty sure those are hard to find. *grumble* And if I can't go on auditions, I can't leave my day job and I'd be stuck in a job I hate forever. Wow, I'm nice and pessimistic aren't I?
I think I'll need to just keep bugging my manager until I get a decent amount of hours each week.
On a slightly happier note, I get to film my scene for the student film tomorrow and thursday! I just hope I don't get lost on the way to the site....
SCHOLARSHIP AUDITION SATURDAY!!!! Hoping I don't screw up the French....
