I got a job at Sonic! It's exciting because it's a job and that's about it, but I'm happy to at least be working. And it will give me money to start working on my business with.
Two weekends ago I was camping with Christian and his family. We went into town on our last day and both of our phones started blowing up with messages from our friend Julie saying "my boss is hiring and he said he'd see you tomorrow at nine in the morning!" and "where are you! call me back!" and things of the like. Basically I missed out on the right then opportunity, but she told me he would interview me as soon as i brought in an application. I was skeptical. It seemed a little bit too similar to the last time I was camping with christian and his family and thought I had a job lined up for me at home. so I didn't really put any eggs in that basket. I still turned in an application and got a hold of some skates to practice on, but i was less than hopeful about it.
I got an appointment set up for Sunday morning before church started. (I put on my application that I wasn't available on Sundays but i figured I'd better not turn down an interview) I went in and talked to the boss. He had me skate around for him, then i asked "so how did i do? did i pass the test?" referring to my skating. He nodded his head and said "yeah, you passed, we're gonna go ahead and give you a try. when can you start?" I could start the next day actually, and he had me come in Monday Tuesday and Wednesday for training. It's a super fast paced business but luckily everyone is pretty nice so far.
like I said before, it's a job and I'm happy to have it, but it also makes me completely aware of what I want to be doing instead. and i am going to be working toward that bakery as quickly as I can.

Congratulations on your job! Any job is better than none...besides, I love Sonic.
I'm so glad you guys skate there. None of the Sonics here skate out with the orders, they just walk. You're going get in good shape!
Congrats on the job! Which one are you working at?
I'm commenting way late, but I'm really glad you've joined the ranks of the employed. Goooooo ALEX!
