He. Okay: so I got hired pretty soon after I got back at New York & Company in the mall, and they scheduled me for training two weekends after that. Then I got a call the first weekend asking me to come in for training a week early if I could- I think they do the training in blocks, 3 at a time, and one girl dropped out or something. I did come in, but because they weren't expecting me to start training until the following week, they didn't have me on the schedule. Besides this, they were having scheduling problems anyway. They said they'd call me in a few days when it got sorted out.
Meanwhile, while job hunting, I'd lined up an interview with Crate and Barrel that I figured I'd go to if I could, just to check it out. It was on a Friday, and I hadn't heard from NY&Co. in almost a week at that point. So, I figured I'd go, and if they paid me better, then I would go with them and tell NY&Co. I couldn't work for them (and considering they apparently couldn't schedule me, I didn't feel too bad about it).
So I went to the Crate & Barrel interview, and they did pay better than NY&Co, so I accepted the job there. They also do massive block training sessions, and the one I was scheduled to go to was in about a week after my interview. Meanwhile I called NY&Co. about working elsewhere and they were fine with it.
However, Crate & Barrel called me a few days after that and informed me that they didn't have enough people hired for the training session yet, so there were going to push it back, and they'd call me and let me know when. Seems like the same shit, different company, right? Anyway, didn't here from them, blah blah blah, and when I did call, the people I needed to speak to were on vacation/on the phone/conducting an interview. Meanwhile I have nothing to do and literally no money. Grr.
I finally got it sorted out yesterday though, and I'm starting training next week. However, I get the sneaking feeling that they aren't going to give me a lot of hours what with all the new people. Whatever. I hate summer jobs. And money. And people in general. Except you. ;)
