I think I have some of the worst and best luck in the world! Want the good news or the bad news first? Let's go with bad news first!
Well this isn't bad but I need to introduce this. I quit Linx!! I was SO happy. I did not like that place one bit. On my last day my manager was lying to customers and being a jerk to me. I was done! I quit. But I didn't quit before I got another job. I got a job at Pinnacle, where I worked last summer, I'm going to be working in customer service. I know, not the best. But it's job and I'm sure it can't be worse than Linx. Anyway, there's the introduction to my bad news.
When I got the job I told them that I couldn't work this Friday or Saturday, because I'm doing to Y Group Leadership for BYU's new student orienentaion. Evan, manager from last summer, said that would be fine. So I started at Pinnacle on Monday. It was going all fine and dandy...until yesterday. I was at training and I said that I wouldn't be there on Friday. The training lady said "Well, why not?" I explained to her why and that Evan said it would be fine. She left, came back, and said "Courtney I need you to come with me" I went with her to go talk to the customer service manager. She said it was importatnt that I attend every day of training for the full two week training. She said I would be lost if I missed a day. (This is completely bogus! I would be fine) I can't back out of the Y Group Leader stuff. I already committed to it before I even got the job at Pinnacle. And besides, I want to do it. So she said let's have you start next week instead. Well there's another problem, I'm going to girl's camp with my mom the 28th-3rd. So now I won't start till July 7th! I have the worst luck with jobs!!
Okay, now for the good news!
I won a laptop!! It was so crazy! I had training for my Y Group Leader stuff last Saturday. They had a drawing for a free mini dell laptop. I didn't think I even had a chance because your name got put in the drawing more if you commented on their discussions boards. I only made ONE comment! So I'm sitting there next to Kristen and all of sudden I hear "Is there a Courtney Taylor here?" And I could not believe it! I was so astounded!!! I never win anything. It was so cool. And the laptop is so cute and little. It's really fun and will be nice to take to campus with me and such.
So anyway, there is my worst and best luck!
Way to follow your guts Courtney. I had a similar experience and now, I don't even apply at a job if I think I'm going to hate it.
