Whoo!
HOWEVER: I don't care.
BECAUSE: I almost definitely have a job at Wendy's (just waiting on the background check, and I can't imagine that it will cause any problems) paying about 40% more than what I make now. Pretty awesome, right? Yeah. I think so too. Let's look at the cost/benefit analysis, shall we?
Wendy's pluses:
- Way more money.
- Much better benefits (and I will make enough that I can afford the health insurance)
- Two days off per week
- Personal days
- Tuition reimbursement
- Bonus plan
- More growth potential
- Better training
- Big company, therefore more rules for how to do things and less fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-and-hope-they-don't-rip
and minuses:
- 50 hours a week (5 10-hour days)
- Will have to go in at 6:30 am sometimes (and come home at 4 am sometimes)
- Might have some ghetto co-workers (but hey, that's fast food, right?)
- The work will probably be steadier and harder (but will also keep me from being bored)
I think we can safely say that the pluses have it.
Other things:
I decorated a bunch of cakes tonight. For some reason, everybody wanted to order cakes for Saturday. And a former coworker of mine, one of my favorites, is coming back to DQ. So, for the 3 1/2 weeks until the next Wendy's training class, I will get to work with her again. And after I leave I can be friends with the employees who I can't be friends with now (favoritism, etc. etc.).
In completely unrelated news: I bought D.E.B.S. on Ebay. It is cheesy and silly and fluffy and the most fun I have had in months. Seriously. The cutest movie I have seen in a really long time. And, while the plot was not really intended to be believable, the chemistry totally was. They were adorable together. Because I needed another reason to miss my (even more adorable) girlfriend. *sigh* Oh well.
More on Wendy's as soon as I have definite word from them.

I never worked with fast food, but I did work similar long-hours/mediocre pay job for many years and I'm sure it built character. Also, it paid many bills. :)
