I don't have one (again). Actually I haven't had one for over a fortnight now, but I've been too ashamed/drunk to mention it here. It's the usual story ie. a long and boring one. I didn't especially like the job, but I expected that. What made it unbearable was a protracted campaign of arseholeness towards me on behalf of the manager and assistant manager. They just didn't like me - honestly, how is that possible?! - and after a while I stopped trying to get them to like me, preferring instead to ignore everybody and engage in subtle and inconsequential acts of sabotage. This was a new experience for me - normally I manage to strike up at least some kind of working relationship with even the most obnoxious people. Anyway, I was already considering quitting when it became apparent that I was being subjected to the classic method of getting rid of casual staff: leaving their names off the roster. I took the hint and told them where to stick it.
So now I'm unemployed yet again. Although the constant barrage of bad economic news doesn't fill me with confidence, I do feel that I am due for a change of fortune. (That's about as glass-half-full as I get, I'm afraid.)

This is probably totally unsuitable, but the Astor is looking for casuals over the summer - mostly for evening shifts of three to four hours, and Sunday afternoons. Doesn't sound very parent-friendly, or well paid, but selling choctocs has a certain glamour.
Sorry to hear it. : / Good luck.
What utter morons those people you worked with are.
What Beth said, and best of luck. Blast.
Thanks all. Alexis, not unsuitable at all - I've always wanted to work with icecream, I mean who wouldn't? Have applied and will spread the word if I get the gig. Free choctops for all!
