The Good, The Bad, and The Covered in Oil...

No, it's not one of those kinds of post.

I am officially employed by Valvoline Instant Oil change in Brighton. Jen and I saw their help wanted sign out front yesterday, and I went up (With some assistance from Jen) to "fill out an app".

It went basically like this, I pulled the van into the parking lot next door. I always miss the parking lot for Valvoline. Stepped through the bushes into the Valvoline lot and got about 3 steps before I heard a very loud voice...

Don: JAMES!!!
Me: DON!!! (This is our typical greeting, as we don't see each other more then once or twice a year.)

Don: What's up man?
Me: Saw the help wanted sign, thought I pop in and fill out an app.
Don: Great, when can you start?
Me: When do you want me to?

So, I start at 10:00 tomorrow. Jobs got good points, and bad points. Though I think for the start the bad will out weigh the good. Well, have to wait and see. It pays less hourly then I make now, obviously. But it's 40 + hours a week. So the end check should be the same, or comparable.

I have to pay for the uniforms, and the cleaning of said uniforms. But that's okay I guess. It's only $16.00 every two weeks. It's 8:00 to 6:30. Would be kind of nice to have a job with set hours. I'd like knowing when I get to leave every day.

Guess will just have to wait and see how it turns out.
