Day one at new job
Yes, I actually woke up and got downtown in time for work this morning. My car was fine. I was parked waaaaay over on the Battery by 9:20, 9:30ish and walked over to Broad Street. It's a long walk! I need to bust out the pedometer one day and see just how far. Also, I'm parking further east if possible tomorrow. The walk is at least 20 minutes or so.
I was there at 9:45, and waited until 10 for the boss to show up. (In the meantime, Talbots called and I have an interview at 3:30 on Saturday. I don't know how much I really want to work in addition to there... can't think about it now.
I got thrown headfirst into everything, pretty much. We had as much business today -- on a Monday, which is usually slow -- as is normal on a Saturday. Crazy. I caught on to most things quickly, like scanning credit cards, keeping things clean, things I've done at previous jobs. learned to work the pricing machine, other stuff. Then more stuff got thrown at me, things got stressful, I felt incompetent. Not the best first day, but it could've been worse.
So yeah. I'm not sure if I'll go to Metal Monday or not. Met some dude at the little restaurant where I had lunch, some guy who went to Ball State and is in town trying to start a music label or two w/ friends-- and told him to check out Metal. I should probably go to rehearsal b/c it's always fun, and then I'll likely want to go out later. But at this point I'd rather sleep. I'm cold and tired and vaguely hungry. Long day. Yet I should be sociable!
I will at least go to rehearsal, which is at 8:30. We'll see about later. My toes are numb and feel odd from standing and walking all day. I don't like it. Argh.
Addendum, 12:30 am: Nope, didn't go to Metal. But rehearsal went well. We made progress regarding show order and a coherent throughline and stuff. Quality. Maybe Metal next week. Too much went down today to allow me to properly, how do the kids say, "Rock Out!"
Now, if the losers on this street would stop blaring their music and honking their horns, mayhap I can cop a nod. (that's catch some z's for all you squares out there)
Night, all.
