11:46 AM - The wierdest thing happened
|
|
So last week i go into town to look for a job and pass this poster outside specsavers talking about cheap contact lenses so i figured might as well go in and ask. I see they're proper busy so i thought what the hell and asked the receptionist if they needed anyone and she grabbed my cv, threw me in with the manager and basically said 'give her a job!' and he said 'ok'.
I was kinda in shock at first, i mean the first place i go into, no proper interview and i'm on a pretty decent wage. Why the fuck didn't i go in there last summer when i was stealing food to survive?! it's never happenned to me before, being in the right place at just the right time, when i came in the manager had just put an ad in the paper.
It was my 4th day working there today and i'm learning steadily, coz it's an opticians most of it is complex machines and stuff which i havn't been trained to use yet so i'm still kinda usless but atleast i'm getting paid.
The people there are cool two, well some of them, others are just bitches but there's a few i think i could get along with pretty well.
My perscription's been a big hit with everyone two, for those of you who don't know how eyesight works, you can either see normally which is 20/20 vision, be long-sighted where you can't see things close to you but you can see things further away which is written as a plus number and short-sighted where you can't see anything which is written as a minus number. Anything above -4 is considered to be quite a high perscription and i'm -17. They keep bringing me over to patients saying things like 'you think your perscription is bad, hers is over twice yours!' yeah glad i can help :)
It's good though, having somthing to do everyday, somewhere to go, the structure is really helping me. When i was just staying in my room i was trapped in my head all the time. Now i feel like i accomplish somthing everyday and it feels really good. Earning my own money aswell, i havn't been paid yet coz they pay monthly but the fact that i am gonna earn my own money, it makes me feel like less of a mess, like i can actually have a life again from now on..........
