Ay-Ya...

(imagine our dear Inyad's voice saying that. By the way Dayni, SQUAT!!! SQUAT!!! SQUAT NOW!!! You want to play tennis someday, don't you?! So SQUAT!!! Stop reading and S Q U A T !!! )

The Ay-Ya was because ... I can no longer be-moan my fate. I cannot complain any more. I was applying like crazy and feeling like nothing was working out. I was telling myself to be patient. I was (I swear, this is true) each night, in bed, thinking to myself "my life will not always be this hectic. Things will change and be different, I just have to keep at it..." etc. And it's true. Look what's happened.

I just got another job. Italian restaurant, fine dining. I likey. 4 days, possibly more... that would be 4 day shifts, 4 nights shifts, the same day... pricey menu, comfy, high-quality atmosphere, but not formal, a quiet restaurant, I like it.

So I break the news to the under-paying-me art store and noooooo, they can't make my job part-time, it's a full-time position, and basically we agree it's my notice then. :( I'm a little happy, a little sad. I was finally being trained!!! As in TODAY!!! So I'm sad to see that go bye-bye. But I'm not sad to leave the poor-paid-drudge qualities of that job. Oh well.

Then I go to Bubba's... and it's all the fun happy cheery people I like working or getting off work, so I'll miss them. I put in my notice. I guess I might miss some aspects of the casual atmosphere, but there's A LOT I'm not going to miss.

So *then* I check my email, and an office job I applied to has responded back. And this has great hours, weekends off, and benefits.

But I'd really like to try fine dining. I'm thinking the money should be more also.. And the total work days, less. And I know that after a while office work gets dull. And this work would be pretty identical to what I did at Douglas.

I know my family (and maybe friends too) will say take the office job so I can have evenings off and weekends free... but I guess I just want to think about it more and see what I'd realistically be making at the restaurant. I'll start training Sunday night so that should give me a better idea.

aaaa.... I guess I'm just spilling it all out here to think about it. But I'm glad there's some change in my life again. And definitely feels much more positive than getting the art store job. Too bad that didn't pay more! Grand shame.

Well, there's more important things going on in the world and in my world too. I hope my family's doing well and everyone else too.

Love you.

I feel so blessed and grateful. ***sappy moment*** thanks for being my friend (wipe tear away) :B
