Alright, so for at least the first question the answer is yes it's worth the gas mileage, the point of the questions I and Tam brought up was more for you to be able to decide 100% on if it was worth it, The only worry I'd have is your mother's reaction to you working at that store.

Pretty doll. I like her clothes too, except the high heels. But she needs hands that are bent to hold things. I loved graspy hands on dolls as a kid, and I still find them handy on my two Japanese dolls.

Reason why I'm looking into it is because if we have bad numbers for our weekly progress they say at my current job 'if this keeps up we're going to have to let some of you go' which is why I want to see about this job. I might be able to talk the the manager tomorrow since they are having some kind of meeting and they said I could have some of the food. OWO

Yeah I can't blame you for wanting to look into it now then, considering you haven't even worked there long, the fact they are threatening to let people go already doesn't bode well for the last one hired. Mom used to say that it was policy at her office typically (except in certain cases of the place doing things that they could get sued for) it was Last one in, first one out.

Even so, based off my mom's and my own experiences, places love to dump on the person that tries the hardest. My mom was the hardest worker in her last place of work, covering the most plants, and getting them done every month without help, and she got laid off in 2009 purely because her work decided they wanted rid of anyone close to or at the age of 60, no reason, just a pattern that got noticed when more and more around that age got laid off all around the same time, and all the younger employees weren't. And she wasn't last one in either, she'd worked there 14 years, there were other people that had worked there far less time, it was pure age in her case.(amongst other things they pulled at the same time that I really don't think it's a good idea if I go into them as I'm more apt to get into a rant about it XD)

i know right? it's all good. i got to spend a year with my best friend after that, working aside her at a gas station, where our manager let us crank up techno/ddr-isque songs for our shifts, as we pretty much had the same shifts. i miss those days...the funny part is we had only known each other for about 4 or 5 years strictly online. my mom was terrified that I'd be killed or something...lol i had more faith in my lynxie to believe the horrid things my mom spouted at me about trusting online people. i like to think I'm a good judge of character and honestly, she's been one of only a handful of people that i know i can trust and rely on. I'm sooooo angry that i won't be able to be at her wedding next year. stupid work...can't take that kind of time off, financial or stability wise. :(
