No Mo Lowe’s

Today is my last day at Lowe’s. Though it was a part time gig, the hours kept me from doing much else. And part time was closer to full time than not. I’m going to be spending more time working on both the bus and Cyclone. I should be able to do a bit of Census work on the side as well, though that’s not for certain yet. I think if I were able to get regular, reasonable hours, I would very much enjoy it there. But it’s retail, and that’s not an option. Anyway, a new and exciting couple of months await me. I’m going to be busy, but I’ll try and make some entries here.

I’ve caught myself a few times over the last month writing journal entries in my head for things I would like to remember. But they don’t make it on here, probably because the hard part of writing them is complete. I’m working on it.

Lowe’s

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.
