I am about to walk out the door for the job interview at Kroger. Ugh. Not sure I want luck since I don't really want this job. But, maybe I'll get there and after talking to her a bit I'll feel better about it. *sigh* I hope so anyway.

Good Luck!


I know it's not what you want, working in retail is tough, I did it for 4yrs, the first 2 were with the customers on the floor and then FINALLY, once I got my degree, they promoted me to the office in human resources.....but I have to say, if it weren't for working with the public for those 2yrs I don't think I would have become as assertive as I am now, and that is one thing I took away from the experience!

It went very well. I got the job. I start next week sometime. They lady was very sweet and we had a lot in common when it comes to the computers. LOL She had anice chat about sites we like to visit. I told her about iVillage and she filled me in on Shutterfly. It went as I hoped and she helped change my sttitude about the job. I will stocking the personal products stuff. Just what I wanted to do. So, I got what I wnated if I have to work at Kroger. I get a 10% discount on all Krogers brand items, that is along with any that are on sale. 20% just before any major holiday. Kinda cool. This is something I could keep even if I get that job at the school I want. It will be evenings after my dh gets home from work.

That's great! Kroger is a really nice company to work for. We have Fred Meyer up here, they are a Kroger company store. I worked for them 2 summer's ago and last summer. I hope that you can now get that other job too! My mom always said "It is easier to get a job, when you have a job." I've found that to be true, lol!

Thank you. Yes, you are right. I believe that too. Now it will be raining and pouring jobs right? I hope so. I also hope that school job is one of them.

Thank you. Yeah, I like what I heard about the benefits to working there. I will get something like 1,500 or 15,00 in paid tuiton. I can't remember the exact amount. LOL I will get health insurance for just myself since I am part time which will be good. I won't feel sad bad about the money we spend for me to see the Dr. LOL I will 100% covered between my dh's coverage and mine.
