I am beyond irritated right now...

let me tell you why.

I got the job at Godiva, right? When I sat down to do the impromptu interview, I told the lady that I was available to work anytime, provided that during the working week I could be out of there around 6, to pick up my son from daycare. No problem. I go in a few days later to turn in some paperwork, and I tell her that I've talked to the daycare center and that I need to be out of work on the weekdays by 5:30 so I can pick my son up, as they don't stay open very long after that. She says it's no problem, that the rest of her staff has open schedules and she can work that in. She makes a note of it in front of me.
Two days ago, I call to get my schedule for the first week. (The schedules are made for entire months at a time, very handy, unless they are potentially working against me in this situation.) I am set to work from 11:30 in the afternoon to 8:00 at night on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is a problem. I call back today, the first day she's been in since then so I can find out what's happened. I tell the manager that I hate to be difficult even before I've started working, but that I needed to be off at 5:30 during the week to get Brodie from daycare. I expect her to be shocked, remember what I'd told her in the past. I am mistaken. "When you interviewed, you told me you were available to work anytime," she says. I can hear the disbelief in her voice, as if she's wondering How Can She (Me) Possibly Be Doing This, and Oh My God What Is This Flake Of A Woman Talking About, Because She Never Mentioned This Before. "I make the schedules according to the store's needs. You never mentioned this before..." Wrong, I mentioned it at least 3 times. Now, if I had any doubt whatsoever that I hadn't made this quite clear, I wouldn't be so irritated. It would be my fault, but I know perfectly well that twice during my interview and once again when I dropped off paperwork I clearly told you 5:30 on weekdays. She wrote it down right in front of me. It is not my fault that she did not pay attention to what I said numerous times.
She's going to look things over and call me back later this week. My husband has said that we could work something out, but since we're a one car family, the resulting time he'd have to be away from work in order for all our schedules to mesh would be utterly ridiculous, and not worth what I'd be getting paid. I'm trying to hope for the best. Either my manager gets it together and amends my schedule, or I find different work. Maybe this is an omen, telling me that the Library (~Swoon~) is the right job for me, and that shortly I'll be working there instead. I know, it's a stretch, but as mentioned before I want that job. By the way, interview tomorrow morning at 10:00 for said library. Send me some good vibes, people.
