Hired!

I got the job I’d mentioned at the end of Season 3. It’s at B&N. I’m pretty stoked. I’ll get 30% discounts on books, 20% discounts on DVDs and CDs, and because it’s in a mall area, I’ll get ~10% discounts on neighboring stores (I’m hoping Eddie Bauer and GAP, but we’ll see). Plus, they’ll pay $40 for my bus pass. (The bus pass I use costs $90, so I’m seeing if I can contribute $50 to the pass B&N will give me to make it worth $90. I mean, a $90 pass for the price of $50 isn’t bad.)

In spite of the not-so-big wage, I’m getting discounts in all my primary areas of expense.

So, yay!

P.S. – I realize it may seem a little silly that I’m excited to be working at a place where high schoolers are qualified to work, but a) I haven’t worked in a year and a half, b) I like books, and c) I’ll be associating with people who read books. Plus, I like the area that the bookstore is in. I’m not expecting the job to be glamorous, but it’ll allow me to accomplish what I want. So, yeah.
