so i AM on my way to doing something to make my life a little more the way i want it to be going.
i got hired at wholefoods. the guy who hired me said it wont be aby easier than where im at now. that its a really busy store, that IF i do get frustrated or angry i cant just walk off the floor like i can where i am/was at. that its really, really busy during the holidays and i wont be able to go on any vacations until after january. a couple things that kind of seem to be a bummer, BUT the upside is they get bonuses, i get a discount, i get to work with and learn about organic and healthy foods, i'll have to go in early probably once a week, which isnt bad, ill most likely be bumped up to full time, which im trusting will happen, not to toot my own horn, because im a really good worker (and i do have people to back that up), i start off at $10/hr which isnt bad at all, it'll only be a buck less than im making now, including tips, and i think he said something about raises, but i actually kind of stopped listening to what he said and started thinking about things for a minute or two (ha!). im pretty stoked though. i would be nice to work some place that's slow and mellow, but i mean, its a hell of a lot better than what i've been doing. and i feel confident enough to say that without having worked a day at wholefoods yet. hopefully i'll be happier than i have been. and at least i can tell people where i work when they ask and not feel like a jerk saying it.
id like to find a place to volunteer my time at now.
baby steps...
