I started at Lowe’s this week. It’s an easy job, and I like it well enough. They very laid back, which surprised me. It’s easy for large corporations to get caught up in bureaucratic garbage, and it seems they’ve largely been able to avoid it. They also do well by their employees: everyone makes above minimum wage, and even part-timers qualify for health care. I’m impressed, but not in love. It’s definitely a job.
A little over a week ago I went in one night for training, but their computers were down, so we were just sent out on the floor. I didn’t really learn anything wandering the aisles, but I got paid for it. I’m still adjusting, and I miss what my last job used to be. I don’t regret leaving, but I still remember it as being a good job, even if it wasn’t when I left.
I’m hoping I’ll be able to put in some more time on Cyclone, since I’m not exactly working full time for Lowe’s. We launched our webstore last week, but things are moving along slowly. Until we can really put the time in, that’s probably the way things will go for the foreseeable future.
