I love my current job, itā€™s unionized, we get weekly pay, the managers are some of the kindest people Iā€™ve ever had the pleasure to meet, let alone work alongside of, I get plenty of breaks and reading time when Iā€™m not busy, I get Saturdays off and additional Sunday pay. But two things suck, the coworkers and the pay. One of my coworkers is an old Lib that was very Pro Ireland and we talked for a bit but heā€™s TERRIFIED of Soviets, like heā€™s literally spooked by me bc I wear a USSR jacket and Ushankas in winter. I also had a coworker that claimed to be Jesus. Yep, they thought they were the Son of God sent down to redeem humanityā€™s sinners. He also claimed to have been in the military, a few cults and a few mafias and eventually got fired for calling a young black coworker the Hard-R N-slur, so he was a piece of work. You could never trust what he says and would love to cockblock people. Very odd guy, tough to feel sorry for him but I kinda do, heā€™s obviously not all there. With all that craziness out of the way, Iā€™m interviewing for a new position that makes like 2-3x as much as my current job and a lot more professional than a grocery. Technically the title of this post is a TINY bit misleading because I already did the interview early this morning. I had to look up stuff about the company and slob a whole bunch of corporate knob to make me seem interested in the job without sounding desperate. If it went well I go on to Interview #2 in-person, if THAT goes well, I get the job. Hopefully I never have to see that crazy wannabe Jesus dude again.

Second interview was an hr ago, I did pretty well and cracked some jokes and made good convo, apparently thereā€™s a 3rd interview smh so hopefully I jump through that last hoop and get it

That's great! I hope it also goes well in the 3rd interview!

AWESOME NEWS!! They bypassed the 3rd interview and I got the job!!! I start in like less than 2 weeks! Iā€™m excited now but as an ML, I fully recognize that I will find faults in the job and eventually hate it. For now Iā€™m just vibing happy af that I got a better paying job. Iā€™d like to think all the comrades in the comments made a differencešŸ˜‡šŸ„¹šŸ„²
