I accepted the job offer for Wal-Mart. Background check and all that takes time. Then orientation will be scheduled. It's a new day, yes it is.

Posted by Qale (aka Qale) May 3 '24, 15:29

Thank you Slackers for everything you've done for me. All the support of all various types and stripes. I will continue to need you, of course. As this is going to be one helluva transition from largest retailer in Texas to largest retailer in America that is not Fuck Amazon. It's going to be a lot of hard work. But I have to devote myself to it in order to save my livelihood.

So, that's all to say, I'm not out of the woods yet. But there is a clearing.

- I am not playing favorites in who I reply to. I’m just trying not to take over more boards than I already have with this. I promise I love Kim most… - Qale May 3, 17:15
Fantastic! -- nm - znufrii May 3, 17:03 2
- Fan-freakin-tastic even. Okay I’m going to go rest now. -- nm - Qale May 3, 17:07 1

- It’s a job that I do well and most of the time enjoy. The dynamic will be quite different, and some of that will be a positive. - Qale May 3, 16:59
congrats -- nm - Peglegpete May 3, 16:18 1
- I’m sure I’ll be completely overwhelmed and think this is the worst thing ever at least more than once very soon. But that’s okay. - Qale May 3, 16:43

- Thank you. It’s going to be a chaotic, very challenging environment. But my goal is to just narrow the view and do what needs to be done. -- nm - Qale May 3, 15:39
Welcome to Walmart, get your $hit and get out. -- (edited) - Qale SI May 3, 15:33 9
- Look, I’m just pre-qualifying for when I’m old and have to just be a greeter. -- nm - Qale May 3, 15:34 8
  - you arent old already? -- nm - tRuMaN May 3, 15:35 7
    - I am 45. Not the best place to be restarting something, again, but we start where we are. -- nm - Qale May 3, 15:36 6
      - I was 50 when I became an atheist minister -- nm - zeitgeist May 3, 16:12 1
        
        I did not know you were an atheist minister. Just that you did weddings. For some reason this makes you cooler. +Some amount of sycor points -- nm - sycor May 3, 16:39
      - I started college when I was 49! ;) -- nm* - Meg May 3, 16:04
      - I think it's the perfect place to be restarting something. Hell, I was almost 55 when I restarted my something of a law firm. - ReluctantCynic May 3, 15:59 1
        
        I completely understand and thought I was pulling that whole ‘best time to start is right now’ kind of mentality. -- nm - Qale May 3, 16:09
      - You're fine. Get outta your head. Go play Fallout. -- nm - David May 3, 15:38
I am so happy for you, and I'm happy for them to get such a great person. Offline, let me know what your immediate needs are. -- nm - David May 3, 15:33 6
- Right now my only need is to ease down from the ‘survivor mode’ anxiety and get some real rest. -- nm - Qale May 3, 15:37 5
  - Well, if there are bills that could be a problem in the short term, let me know, and we'll talk. -- nm - David May 3, 15:39 4
    - Thanks. That is one of the key elements that makes this a good fit is I don’t need a car *today* to work. So that fund is parked… heh. - Qale May 3, 15:42 3
      - Okay, fantastic. With more time, I'm confident whisper can find you a viable car. -- nm - David May 3, 15:43 2
        
        PS: A future step is a Prosper loan. - David May 3, 15:44 1
        
        Maybe not that name brand product itself, but generally speaking, yes. The rate hikes swamped me. -- nm - Qale May 3, 15:46
