So all evening long I thought it over and finally asked the HR manager who closed w/me what happened to the final tuesday, I thought it was some conspiracy to get me out the door and if she said well we didn't need you, rather than bail on them, even if I wuold've had a secret joy out of it, i would've suggested we both get something out of it and let's make yesterday's Tuesday my last day so I don't have have to come back for about $65-75 (what I'd make in the 3 days vs. $115 in the 4).

She was in shock, said the owner must have done something and went back and put me on the schedule and getting $115 is worth the trip back. Plus, even though it's essentially a throw away job, nothing related to my field, something short term and while i'll add it to my work history, it's not somethign I'd highlight on my resume, I still have a better work ethic than that.

As for Job #2's raise, that's a whole 'nother blog post, I did follow up w/the Store Manager on Sunday and he said he'll have more info for me next time I see him, which'll be later this week, so we'll see. I chatted w/another coworker about her job @ starbucks, so I've looked into that, her tips alone make the place sound tempting, but I'm not a waitress/restaurant type, I'm more a retail/clothing store type.

(forgive the typos, I'm pretty beat this morning and my eyes ares till bleary)
