The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

So, I'm going for it. I've applied to two stores for seasonal help in the Mall of America. What is it with me and the stereotypical landmark of areas? It began small, Culver's Frozen Custard, the hang out place for many peers at the time, and their families on weekends. Then, Six Flags Great America, a well-known attraction (believe me, there are many small, privately owned businesses where I've lived!), then Mount Rushmore (need I say more?) then at the Metrodome, and now probably at the Mall of America! (the last two, probably among the most famous places in Minneapolis). Oh, a world-chain bakery was in their, too . . . I really don't know how it's happened that way. I've avoided Walmart, Target, and many food chains, but maybe that hasn't been enough. It may seem to make sense to work at the Mall of America, but there are a gazillion more malls and places to work at besides there. . . Anyways, I may either work at a fragranced place or an icecream one (maybe both!) But I want to go home for Thanksgiving, and I need to be out of my dorm by Dec. 17th, so I hope that doesn't hinder me from employment! Anyways, I just bought a hat at our school's Lost and Found Sale (people have a chance to claim their stuff, but then the closet gets full .. ) so it's a nice, warm hat (a guy's, I think) with black fleece on the inside, and a slightly-teal mostly blue, w/ a black stripe @ bottom wool outside. I'm ready for you, biting winter!! (Scarves are like shields, and much more)

I still don't think I purposefully go for chains- and I do knowingly avoid some. My experiences may get me a job at the same chain, different location in the future, but since I tried working at two of the chains since stopping, even the original stores don't want me back. Well, that's not fair to say. They say I'm a good worker, but business has been slow, so they'll call if it picks up. :( Oh, well. I'm excited about the future jobs!!
