I applied to this big box store at least a half a year ago. They called me last Friday for an interview later that same day. Yesterday, they called me up to tell me they have a position for me at their store. Basically, I will be a kind of greeter, periodically checking their receipts to see if the customer is walking away with unpaid items.

This is my first job in over twenty years. I am very anxious, and downright nervous about this new job. Part of me thinks something may go wrong for me. I may get confused and make mistakes. Yes, it is a job a simpleton should be able to handle, but I am sure I will make mistakes. The hours worked each week, and the amount I will earn, is just below SSDI limits. I will be working up to 20 hours a week, making up to about $1100 a month. It would be just my luck if SSDI drops support with my disability checks anyway. I really do need this job. I have massive amounts of debt to pay off.

PS I did not tell them that I am on disability. I had to do some fast talking when I inadvertently told them that it has been a long time since I had a job. My quickly thought up explanation worked.

PPS Should I wear a sports coat and tie? I may as well look good while making my numerous mistakes.
