That's the typical answer I give whenever I answer the phone at my NEW JOB!
I've been wanting a change (and by change I mean more hours). Since nobody is hiring full-time I ultimately ruled that out and accepted part time work. About five months ago I quit Thorne Printing because it was literally 0 hours a week...yet I was still employed. ?? So I "left". I wrote down the names of all the machines and started a resume. Put them into all the copy centers close and got no calls. So I get a job at Big 5 Sporting Goods....and 8 hours a week. Awesome.
So I kept looking. I received a call on Saturday for an interview and got the job. I like it. I like it a lot. I pretty much know everything except their weird cash registers and UPS, FedEx, and USPS. But it shall come fast. I like the dress code and it's a lot better than wearing a full tie, slacks and shirt at a sporting store...? yeah. So I'm back in the printing business and it feels good.
This made me laugh today:
So our store gets a lot (20 a day?) of the LDS books. Manuals, Books, Etc. And if we mess them up we sometimes have to replace them if the customer is furious...so the owner went and bought a stack of Young Women Personal Progress books. We seem to mess those up because the glue that the church puts in those is really crappy. So if we mess those up, we have a good stack behind the counter to replace before they come back. Hahaha. You know you live in Idaho when...

I quit Thorne LONG before 5 months. I'm not sure where that came from.
Hey Jay....I'm so happy for you. Waytogo:-) It is always good news about a job you really like going to. It is especially good news....that you got a job !!!
Ha ha, that IS so funny about church manuals! Cool you are blogging again. I love to read your blog. I really really need to catch up mine! You've inspired me! :-)
So what is it you do with the church manuals? I guess I don't live in Idaho LOL.
I worked at mail boxes etc for a while after I got married. I loved it and loved all the fun projects that were brought in like lamination, binding and fancy stuff with the copy machines. I also wasn't a huge fan of UPS or Fed Ex, USPS I didn't mind so much. My boss was a jerk but Kris got back at him at the office Christmas party by feeding his labrador cheese.
