New Job - Pros & Cons

Thursday, June 14, 2007 @ 7:16 AM

PROS -

* Between about 2:30am when the bookkeeping is finished, until about 4 or 5am when the newspapers arrive, there's nothing to do but watch TV, read, play Solitaire, etc.

* All the coffee and tea you can drink. And it's good coffee.

* 11pm-7am is much easier to adjust to than 9-5am.

* Minimal contact with actual guests.

* No contact with supervisor. Essentially one's own boss.

CONS -

* Money's not great. Less than $9/hr.

* Guests are sometimes creepy and/or hostile.

* Being on one's feet about half the shift (4 hours, not consecutive).

* The knowledge that one works for a completely Republican corporation founded by religious zealots. (Two, actually.)

* Having to dress up. The new uniforms may require me to wear a skirt and hosiery. Which is just wrong.

    4 nonconsecutive hours a day is better than 8 hours, consecutively. ughhhh.

    Well hell yes. The hotel is therefore vastly superior to the hell that was Best Buy.
