John’s Musings

It’s been a month since I’ve posted. Quite a bit has happened during this past month.

I started looking for work about three weeks ago. One day I grabbed an application from Cheddar’s, a local restaurant. On my way home, a random idea struck me. The idea was to apply again at a local homebuilding company. I had applied there last May, yet failed to get a job. I drove out of the way so I could swing by this business and pick up an application. I knew it was a long shot, but thought it would be worth a try. I walked in, introduced myself, and asked for an application. I was then told to wait for a moment. The Service Department manager then walked out and interviewed me on the spot. Apparently they had just lost a worker, and needed a replacement.

Ultimately, I got the job. It’s a great job that pays more and has less stress than Kroger does.

I put in my two weeks at Kroger and worked about 6 accounting shifts, many of them on the same day as my construction shift. On the last day at Kroger, I ran into an issue with my direct supervisor, an issue that forced me to quit on the spot. It was not the way I wished for my last day to pass, but I really don’t mind. I’m just glad that Kroger is behind me forever.
