Last week, I went for an interview at the place that I thought had hired me. They told me to come back Monday morning for a second interview. I went there prepared to interview, along with another candidate. Instead of an interview, I found myself (and the other fellow) filling out a slough of new-hire paperwork. WTF? I've been out of work since December, so I didn't let it faze me. After a brief run-through of the documents, they told me to come back Tuesday and begin training.
Tuesday morning I went in prepared to train, only to be told that they weren't quite ready, and "Could I please come back at 1700?". I went back to my sister's store and chilled out for a few hours. I went back to the job site in the afternoon, only to be told that I can't begin my training until my background check comes back. One of the trainers made me a milkshake, so it wasn't a totally wasted trip. They told me to come back on the morrow, at the same time.
Wednesday I trundled out there only to discover that I still couldn't train, because the background check hadn't come back. Worse still, no background check was submitted because that form was missing from my new-hire packet. I filled out the missing form, and now I'm waiting. My background is clean, so I'm not worried about anything, but it's frustrating to have been so close to work again, only to be forced to wait. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate waiting?
If only others would give us the respect we give...
ReplyDeleteHope this finally works out, waiting for anything is the worst waste of time...
