All for a video store....

Last day of work for me until January 4th. What a thought – I think that is just insane. Alright, so I applied to work at Family Video. My thoughts on this were – Im smart, and it’s a video store – how hard can the application process be. What are these people thinking. I had an interview on Tuesday with the store manager. Then I had to take this test (more on this in a bit) yesterday and if I passed the test I have to interview with the district manager. The whole time I’m thinking – “this is a video store, not brain surgery”. So, back to the test. I went in yesterday thinking about it would take 20-30 min. Yeah, not so much. It took over an hour. It was like taking my ACT’s again. There were 8 sections and they were timed. It had to do with comprehension, math, alphabetizing, spelling, and vocabulary. Some of the topics, I was like, what does this have to do with working here. For example: A store has grapes, apples and bananas. The average price is .30. If the grapes cost .10 and the bananas cost .45 – how much to the apples cost? Since when does a video store sell fruit?? Plus, the vocabulary had words that I had never imagined could exist. Oh, the math part. I am a math minor. I tend to think I can hold my own in the math section. But, they had us adding fractions, doing powers, diving fractions, finding the square root of 2403 (or some horrendous number). The whole test was just…. Wow…

Only 15 min. left until Christmas vacation starts.. Well, not technically. I have a staff meeting tonight at 4, but break from the students starts in 15 min. Then, Im going to go home. Eat some lunch. Maybe take a nap. Then, I need to go and find the hospital where my dr. appointment is at tomorrow. What a fun filled day. At least I will not be at work.. Enough for now..
