It has been quite the semester of school so far, let me tell you. Being back from Medora, ND has been wonderful yet sad at the same time. I miss the friends that I made over the summer. Living at home with my parents and younger brother is the same broken record it always has been. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all that my parents are doing for me, but I miss being out on my own. I know it may sounds stupid, but I think I would appreciate them 100% more if I were living in Saint Cloud close to campus and working there.
Once I returned home, my first thought was, "Crap, now what? I'm back at square one. Living with the parents, broke, and jobless." Needless to say, my first item of business was applying anywhere and everywhere I could think of. I started the search online. In Foley there is a Family Dollar store in which my cousin-in-law had referred me to. I applied...or at least attempted to. The online application was definitely a tricky one so I applied in the store. After applying, and a few hurdles, I was hired.
Working at good'ol FD is not what I thought it would be. It's actually very challenging. I know this is good for me, but presently enduring it doesn't shine so brightly for me. At times I feel like a chicken running with my head cut off and I'm always hoping that I am not asking my Assistant Managers or Store Manager too many useless or "dumb" questions. I am human and I do make mistakes. I just wish that as small as the mistakes are, that they would have a proportionate reprimanding and not made out to be as if the FD world is ending. Let's just say that I have been applying elsewhere and keeping my options open. As does any other person who's not looking to work where they currently are for the rest of their life. In a way, it's only up from here.
