Loving my new job...

I'm loving my new job as a meat clerk at the local Real Canadian Superstore. I really can not dislike or hate it, as it's perfect IMHO:

I work from 7 to 12 noon 5 days a week, and have my afternoons and evenings off to do what I like. Not to mention I get paid $12.40/hr when I work Sundays (I've done 2 straight Sundays, so I'm bound to have a nice check!), and $11.40/hr the rest of the week. Getting paid to take my coffee break is a nice change back as well - I hated when I lost paid breaks back at McDonald's - I cannot say how many hours I lost each week to my breaks, but it was a lot! Plus the guaranteed hours cause of the union doesn't hurt either! Plus, I only have to please 4 people there, and not 9 or 10 like I had to at McDonald's! You would think I would have spotted any negative aspects of the job by now, but I have not.

Just thought I would let you all know how it's going so far!

Meat clerk? 

Don't bother about the job, so long as it pays you well.

Could you explain this expression "meat clerk"?


Sure, a meat clerk is someone who working in the meat department of a grocery store, thus a "meat clerk".

I'm now on the hunt for a second job, as the first one alone doesn't pay enough in each paycheck to cover all the bills. I'm once again busy filling out job applications and submitting resumes.Cool

I think I'm going to go outside today. It's kind of cold though. Sometimes I go outside and it's not as cold as I thought it would be. I'm just going to wear a sundress, and a sweater. Okay, I'm going outside now. I'll let you know what happensSmile

I will consider this offer and get back to you on that, paul211.

I got some good news from my old job but I promised I wouldn't share it. Let me say that an interesting possibility exists in my future!

Trust me I know how tough a manager's job is! I run my own company on the side (haven't been able to make any money yet) as the President/CEO all by myself.

I need to kick my habit of being lazy at home - I won't get a job by just sitting around all day watching movies and playing games!
