ironicallyelijahtraining at target starts tomorrow!!!!! its a 3 to 5 training day, then im scheduled for regularish shifts/training from tuesday to friday from 8am to 4pm. im tired of being anxious all the time so i am decidedly excited instead.
hoping and praying for coworkers around my age who are also autistic and queer so i can actually have friends at work. realistically speaking i can get along with just about anyone (source: The Diner Job /neg) but really only other queer and autistic people are people i can actually be comfortable with and become proper friends with because i dont have to mask around them. the place is (allegedly) understaffed though so most likely itll just be a bunch of neurotypical overworked millenials who are polite enough but ultimately not anyone i can ever feel fully comfortable with. like theres a difference for me between people i can get along with and people i can become friends with. because if i cant do the latter, ill probably just feel super isolated and lonely unfortunately :(
manifesting some silly autistic queer person working at target with me oooooooooooo we're gonna become such close friends ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
anyways, mild red flag(?), all the training days are days and times that i specified beforehand i couldnt do. now, im on spring break rn so that doesnt really apply, but like. going forward i NEED them to abide by my school schedule. there is no universe in which i prioritize target over animation school. the auto-generated email told me to email any schedule conflicts with the person who originally emailed me about my job offer so i sent my availability over to that guy a few hours ago. no reply yet, so we'll see how that goes. i will definitely (at least try to) stand up for myself over this though, i literally told them over the phone my general availability and the fact that i was a college student.
anyways, ill probably give an update on how things go tomorrow, and another update by friday. cya!!!!
