The Bad and the Good

The Bad
The asswipes I've been working for over the last four weeks have not paid me. Not once. (And I just thought I was spending too much over Christmas) They had the wrong number, and because I never got a pay slip, I had no way to check. I will (hopefully) get the money back tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.

The Good
I got a phone call earlier about a job interview at a bridal wear shop. The person on the phone sounded fanstastic, the place sounds a million times better and I have an interview at around 7 tonight *g*

Wish me luck!

Good luck! And take this tack with the bastards who owe you pay: threaten to sue them for loss of interest/overdraft charges when the money should have been in your account but wasn't. I find that usually speeds things up.

Good luck! A job in a bridal shop could be fun! :)

You're probably on your way to the interview now, but good luck! I really, really hope it goes well and that you get the job. Because you deserve better than where you're working now; you really do.

O_O

This place just gets better and better...

If they don't come through with the money, take 'em to one of them tribunally things that deal with this sort of thing. (Um. Ask [livejournal.com profile] sangerin, she knows stuff.) And if that doesn't work, email Feral Stories Today Tonight. Foot-in-the-door journalism isn't tacky if it's helping you.

And if you need me to be a reference again, you know I'm always up for it.
