// I'm bored. Like, REALLY bored.

I realized yesterday, that I wouldn't mind having a job. Part-time seasonal employment, to be exact. I spent quite a while editing and printing off multiple copies of my resume, ready to be distributed anytime after the 20th, since I pos dated my cover letters. Anyway, I plan on handing out resumes to the following locations. And so begins, Steph's TOP FIVE Part-Time Seasonal Places Of Employment List. Also listed, is an explaination of the different aspects I must consider about each work place.
Probability - how confident do I feel about being hired?
Self-Shop Factor - would I actually shop here?
Stress Level - how stressed would I get?
Uniform - how dorky is the uniform that I have to wear?
Location - how easy is it for me to get to?
Comfort/Happiness - would I feel comfortable/happy working here?

Steph's TOP FIVE Part-Time Seasonal Places Of Employment List

1. TOYS-R-US
Probability: Excellent. I'm actually feeling pretty good about being hired here. I mean, how many people actually WANT to work at a toy shop around Christmas time? It's stressful. And if I'm willing to hand in a resume, then I figure I'm good.
Self-Shop Factor: YES LIKE WHOA. I would totally get all my party supplies here. They've got cool party hats. And Spongebob gear galore.
Stress Level: Super High. It's through the roof. I expect I'd have to deal with whiny kids everyday, but I'm used to being attacked during Children's Church on Sunday mornings, so I'd only have to adjust a bit. Or maybe a lot. I dont' know.
Uniform: Blue polo shirt with the logo. It's not so bad. I like polo shirts.
Location: It's right next door, so I could even come in at the last minute if someone calls in sick. How could they NOT hire me?!
Comfort/Happiness: I have the same maturity level as my customers would, so I think I'd be alright.

2. FUTURE SHOP
Probability: Good. I figure I've got a pretty good history with computers, electronics, and audio/video media.
Self-Shop Factor: YES LIKE WHOA. Their CDs are SO cheap (way cheaper than HMV) and my dad and my brother would be milking my employee discount SO MUCH.
Stress Level: Medium to High. I guess the most stressful thing would be annoying questions or disgruntled customers, but that comes with every retail job.
Uniform: Red polo shirt with logo. Once again, I'm a fan.
Location: ONCE AGAIN, It's right next door.
Comfort/Happiness: SO HAPPY! Hopefully, I'd get put into audio/video media section where I'll just help people pick out CD players and MP3 players and CDs and DVDs and that'd be so rad.

3. OLD NAVY
Probability: Good. They're always hiring people for the Christmas season.
Self-Shop Factor: YES LIKE WHOA. I love their cheap $4 girls' XXL shirts.
Stress Level: I figure the worst thing would be having to refold everything a zillion times. That's not so bad.
Uniform: No uniform. SWEET! But half my wardrobe is Old Navy, anyway. haha.
Location: It's one bus ride OR a 15 minute walk away. That's not so bad. Plus, it's in Richmond Centre and I'd LOVE to work at that mall. I know so many people there, so break time would be like, chilling with everybody.
Comfort/Happiness: I get to listen to rad music all day and fold clothes that I'll probably come back and buy later. Not so bad. I'll probably see a lot of people from school, too.

4. BLUENOTES
Probability: Medium to Good. I know a bunch of people my age who work there or used to, but I hear the boss is pretty mean. I guess I'll have to impress her.
Self-Shop Factor: YES LIKE WHOA. The other half of my wardrobe that isn't Old Navy, is Bluenotes. I'm serious. I even know about the 60% redline.
Stress Level: Low to Medium. Cool, chill music. People that are pretty rad. Funny t-shirts. I expect no issues.
Uniform: No uniform. I could be fashionable and stylish all day!
Location: Also in Richmond Centre. See OLD NAVY for more details.
Comfort/Happiness: I'd be so, so very happy working here. Listening to my kind of music ALL DAY. Talking to cool peole ALL DAY. That's be awesome.

5. AMERICAN EAGLE
Probability: Medium to Good.
Self-Shop Factor: Eh. They're pretty pricey on girls' stuff. But with an employee discount, I might be more inclined to shop there.
Stress Level: Worst thing would be assigned to man the changing rooms. I've seen the lines get HUGE.
Uniform: No uniform. I'd just have to look like a prep everyday. I guess it's not so bad. It's like a cleaned up version of the classic emo kid.
Location: Also in Richmond Centre. See OLD NAVY for more details.
Comfort/Happiness: I don't see why not. Last time I was there, they were playing The YYY's Maps which happens to be my favourite rock love song of ALL TIME. Like, really.

Well there you have it, folks. I would love to work at any of these places, so don't be surprised if you suddenly see me there next week. But for the time being, I guess we'll just have to wait 'till I get all these resumes handed out.
