Torn Between Two Jobs
So here's the situation. I have a choice between a possible job at Best Buy, which will probably be crazy fun, (I hear they have cool parties and often rent out movie theaters for new releases and such) and starts out paying around $7.50 an hour, and a boring job at a place called WEST, where I sit at a desk all day and answer a phone for credit card activations and sell insurance for around $10 an hour. I have my 2nd interview with WEST on tuesday, and the General Manager for Best Buy won't know if he can even hire me until the same tuesday. Assuming I do get the opportunity to work at Best Buy...
...which job would you take? The fun, less-paying job, or the not as fun, higher-paying job? Most amazing jew boots

Well, I don't know how the work is, but the fun part about working at BB would be the people I would work with. They seem pretty cool. Also, the discounts would be really nice, and they apparently do things like lockins where they hold lan parties and stuff, as well as renting out theaters. Don't know about the others but this one supposedly does.

At WEST I'm guaranteed 40 hours. My girlfriend works at BB now, and she says that while she's only working part time, they told her they'd give her as many hours as she needs. I'm not sure how that works out, since most places like that have a certain number of hours they can give out, from what I learned over at Rhino Video Games.
How ya doing, buddy?

A delivery job would be okay, but I'm driving a cadillac, which is absolute shit with gas. And with gas prices as high as they are right now, that's out of the question. Unless they provide you with a car, which I'm pretty sure most places don't. Also, you have to have a pretty good knowledge of the area, and while I mostly know my way around, I have no idea where to find most streets I'm not familiar with.

WEST is a guaranteed 40 hours a week. BB is part-time, but from what I heard from my girlfriend, if I ask them for more hours, they'll usually give it to me.
As for the standing and walking around, my last jobs were as a waiter at Ruby Tuesday, working the mailroom at my local newspaper, a CSR at Rhino Video Games, and a cart pusher at Wal Mart. Being on my feet all day is the least of my worries.  And anyone who works at a game store knows the pressure of having to sell stuff all the time. "Push those pre-books! Sell accessories and your soul!"I was speaking idiomatically.
