Ugh!

Is there no consideration left in the world? As you may or may not know, Chris has been looking for full time work while he attends the fire academy. Right now isn't the easiest time to in the job looking market. He applied awhile back with a temp agency that supplies the Blockbuster Distribution Center. He got an email late the day before yesterday, but the content was missing. By the time he heard back from them about it, they wanted him at a orientation in about 10 mins. They told him to come on in so he headed home from the station to change and go up there.

This is where Murphy's Law comes into play! His car broke down. His chief at the station (who owns a auto repair shop) came and got the car and is checking it. Chris got a ride up to McKinney and the end result was that they told him he would be working 3 - 12 hour days per week. They told him for this week he would work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Then starting next week, he would work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:30am til 6:00pm or so. Since his car is in the shop Roger got him up this morning (which was not easy!) and took him to work. Had his radio toned out for a fire he would have bounced out of bed with out a second thought, but to go to work - he had to be drug out of bed by his toenails! They drove to McKinney, dropped Chris off and Roger headed home. Just as Roger walks back in the house, he gets a text from Chris. "No work today, will explain. Can you come back and get me?" UGH!!!! Not that it is THAT far...but Roger spent close 1 1/2 hours making that trip twice. Not to mention getting up 45 mins earlier just to be ready to go.

They said they would call him after 3:30 today IF they will need him tomorrow. Ugh! If..there can't be an IF!!! He needs to be working!!! Don't they get that? On the upside, he has an interview Sunday with a new Target that is opening for a position in their electronics department. Hopefully something will come through somewhere...soon! As for his car, they think it might be the computer. I really don't like that Murphy guy!
