Feb. 8th, 2006 06:12 pmDecided I didn't want the Costco job. They needed someone who could work Saturday and Sunday, and while I applaud pretty much everything about their employee policies (they even offer time and a half if you work Sunday), I need at least one day off to spend with the boyfriend and kittes. So that didn't work out. But I'm not too torn up about it - and the manager who interviewed me was very friendly and invited me to reapply if my schedule changed.
Considering that most of the part-time job opportunities here in Juneau are retail-oriented, I'm guessing that I'm going to get something similar from the other places. So I guess it's time for one of my messages to the universe: I would like to find a decent-paying part time job that lets me have Saturday and/or Sunday off that I like.
In the meantime, I've got an idea for an eBay entrepreneurship that I might start up. The local consignment shop has a $5 rack that contains all the clothing they've had for more than a couple of months; during the last week of the month it becomes a $1 rack (and at the end of the month anything that doesn't sell goes to charity). When I discovered last month's $1 rack I ended up picking up a couple of really nice turtlenecks, so I figure if I scour the racks each month I might be able to sell/auction them off for at least a little more than I paid for them - if I start the bidding at $1.50 that's all of the expeses covered. So we'll see how that goes. Who knows, maybe it'll take off and bring in an extra hundred or so a month. :)
