That song from 1957 by the Silhouettes- Get a Job or in her case GOT A JOB

It’s surprising how quickly Elena got a job. No, wait, I have to be honest, Teri got Elena a job. Teri got Elena, or at least made Elena aware of the job available at Caliper Tires, and the two jobs I just mentioned. She got Nastia both of her jobs and She got me two out of the three last jobs I have worked. The two job offers are from Lea Toyota and the second at the Jeep dealership in Nanuet. At the Jeep place, she would have been doing the same stuff she was doing at Caliper Tire, brakes, tires, oil changes, that type of stuff. The job at Lea seemed to call to her, my words, not her’s. She said she preferred to work at lea, but her couldn’t say why. The job she would do is very bottom rung, clean cars, put tags in the car and on the keys, set up cars for technicians to bring them into the shop easily. You know, back them into the parking spot, something Teri and I both do and have tried to encourage both girls to do. Well Elena could have learned an important work skill if she had continued to work at backing up into her parking spot.
Elena asked Teri how to tell the jeep place she was not going to take the job. This time she learned a valuable life lesson, how to turn down a job without cutting off a possible job position. Teri even wrote out what she should say. Tomorrow, Saturday, Elena will finish her first week. It’s not an exciting job, she says, but it’s cool or words to that effect. She stopped by Caliper Tire and talked to Sean sr telling him she misses the place, which was sweet of her. As long as the two who do like her are there, Elena is best working somewhere else. It’s funny, I asked Elen what days she works, when she first got the job, she didn’t know, I could but I didn’t ask what she would be making, but I’m sure she won’t know until her first check and even then she might not check it out. She really doesn’t care.
