I FOUND A JOB!

I'll be working at Sonic, now!
Everybody thought I was going to be a carhop, and would be on rollerskates while delivering food to the customers.
No...that's not the only position available....I'm going to be working the drive thru, and, if they cross-train me, fixing up fountain drinks as well.
I can't wait to see how many familiar faces show up.
I already have one guaranteed customer in my Bakeshop class. His name is Al...short for Aloyious...he doesn't like his full first name, though.
I only happened to see it by chance when someone handed him back a graded paper last year in my credit retrieval class...good times.
It's funny. I don't go out-out too often.
The best places to go are the movie theater and the card shop.
When I'm at the card shop alone or with a friend, I often see people who had been gone but are back again.
My dad always makes a joke saying, "It's the Fallon water that keeps people coming back" (even though everyone knows the water here is awful. I drank some just today...it tastes so weird that I don't even like drinking it anymore)
I've never liked drinking water...I like sweet things, especially drinks: soda, juice, sweet tea, milkshakes, etc. But water is just something I drink when there's no milk, or if I'm in a place where I can drink nothing but water and am in desperate need of something cold and refreshing.
But anyway, I'm super excited about this job. I hadn't wanted to work fast food, but Dad was really getting on my case about it, so I took what I could get...and this is what I got.
I shouldn't sound so unappreciative, I know. God blessed ME with this job above all others who applied for it (and believe me, there were MANY. I saw the stack of applications he had, and it would be enough to shoot down anyone's hopes), and for that...well I am wholly grateful.
I keep thinking of reasons they could fire me....I haven't started just yet (I was supposed to today at 4:30, but they canceled due to weather and said I would start training tomorrow at 4:30). I'm really hoping I don't slip up and give them grounds to fire me....wouldn't that be one of the absolute worst things to ever happen to someone? Getting fired from a fast food joint? With the way things are now, people don't even need resumes to get hired at fast food places! So if you got fired from one, and then tried filling out other applications with your work experience, employers would look at yours and think you had the worst work ethic imaginable!
But I'll do my best. I really will.

  2. Congratulations on your job! I'm happy for you! I hope you do well in it. I always thought working drive-thru would be cool. I really hope it is for your sake!

  3. I just saw you today in the drive through. I had a chocolate milkshake and a large tater tots. That was de-lish-us.
