I'm a what now?

I'm so much happier with my current jobs than I -ever- was at That Place.

Here, my weekend!boss comes and talks to me about things. Apparently, the GM has been getting on him to let someone go, because we're not making enough money (especially on the weekends) for him to keep both of the new people; me, and another guy who was hired a couple days later to fill in the gaps I couldn't. He's a student, though, and can only work afternoons/weekends. I can only work weekends.

So my boss comes to me, at my other job in the candy store (right next door, by the way), leans on my counter and says...

"You're fired."

And then he grins and tells me he's kidding, and proceeds to explain all of what's going on, and tell me that he let the other guy go because he thinks I'm a better employee, despite my more limited scheduling.

=O

I'm... what?

Well. I have been stepping up my lazy ass performance around that place. Mostly out of SHEER BOREDOM, and having SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

Which, however, I lose by keeping the job. Alas. I'll be working down in the kiosk on the street which sees little to no traffic, and little to no heater in the wintertime.

But I can have my laptop at work, there. Books, notebook, laptop, whatever. MUSIC. *Fistpump*

I think I may actually go for taking a single community coll-- oh yeah. I have to get my GED first.

So, then. I shall study for that. And then I will enroll and take a single college class, with all the time I can be using. Whee.

Well, maybe not just yet. *Sigh.* Since I can't just like, start a class in the middle of a semester, and by the time I could, I won't have as much time.

But it's a start! And I'm really glad that I was kept on, and -informed-, both about the fact that he thinks I'm a better good employee, and about the situation in general.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY CRAPPY FIRST JOB. ♥

Dude.
I can't speak for WA, but here you DO NOT have to have your GED to start community college. They will make you take a test that says you is smart enough to get something out of the classes (placement exam) and then you can just freaking start.

That being said you could take a GED prep course to get your feets wet...

It's not so much that I -have- to to start. It's that I feel like, if I can't be bothered to do that, what's going to keep me from doing the same thing with my classes?
It's self-imposed. But thank you for the encouragement anyways! ♥
