Adventures in jobs

So, I've had some crazy times lately, I quit my job at the Common Scents, after working there for 2+ years, and i had a few days of doing nothing, I'm working through SOS, which is good, so i can find a job easier. so the wednesday after quitting i got a job at Olson's Greenhouses, which was really hard work for me, like harder than i've ever done. in 8 hours. then on the third day, but really second day, they let me go home early. i was sad i was leaving but glad cuz i was gonna quit then anyways, it's too hard, and at least i tried it.
then the weekend, so now it's monday again and i call sos and they have another job for me, making dog food... ugh.. i was there for 8 hours as well and it was pretty crazy.. i was at one station the whole time, but there was a few different positions to stand at, like feeding the strips, or collecting and filling cans with said strips, and also putting the cans in boxes to stack the boxes on a pallet. the only downside i can find so far is that they want me to work 12 hour shifts, which is super crazy, but my mom's friends have been doing this for 20 or so years! so i bet i can do it, also i am working with a bunch of old ladies, so if they can wake up at 3am, so can i!!! the number one upside is that i get $9/hr, which is the best i've ever gotten paid, EVER!! my last two jobs i got 8, then 8.5 so now i have a good enough reason to get up early and be on my feet half the day.
i gotta find stuff to eat during the day, i ordered a cool lunch box off thinkgeek today and i hope i get it soon, and i hope i work here for a month or so. i just gotta say, if i survive these 12 hour days, i'll be making $108 a day!! that's awesome, i can't believe it, just so great. but i guess i work like three or four days a week as well. oh yeah, food... i need some stuff to eat but i don't eat too much, and i can survive the day not eating a bunch of stuff, but now that i'm working all day i gotta get something that will keep in a box in a fridge and keep me going.. what i did at the last place, DGS, i just had some peanut butter and crackers in my car, i still have that now, but i haven't even opened either yet. i figured peanut butter cuz it says on the bottle that it keeps me going! so if i have a lunch box, i can just keep it inside, but it's not t00 bad to go outside for lunch... bytheway, i only get 20 minutes for lunch!! it's horrible!!
well i'm done ranting now, my typing is getting worse..
