Should I quit my job?
About two months ago, I got a job at a place I had previously worked at in order to get some extra money. The problem is, I hate the job. Mostly I'm just standing around wasting time, which is what everyone does. Most of my coworkers and I don't get along very well because I'm not into partying as much as they are, and I don't work there very often. When I do work, it's a three hour shift, every time.
I have another job that I've been at for three years. They really like me there, and I get paid the same as the other job. I had gotten the new job because the old job was undergoing remodeling and my hours were cut because part of the store was closed. Now that we're done remodeling, business has picked up a lot and I'm getting a lot more hours, with longer shifts than only three hours.
Should I quit the newer job, now that I would be okay financially just working at the job I've been at for years? Could I still use it as a reference, citing that it was seasonal work (it sort of was)? Do prospective jobs even call employers you were with more than three years ago?

I would have no qualms about quitting this job if I were you. You're under no obligation to stay there. If you want to use them as a reference in the future, however, do it right by giving them the standard two weeks notice. Just be honest and tell them that you're getting more hours at your primary job and just can't continue working two jobs any longer. I'm sure they'll respect that. And, yes, it is very possible that if you put this company on any future job applications it most likely will be verified. Hope this helps. Good luck!
