Holy shit. November 1st. I know time doesn't actually pass more quickly with age but it doesn't really matter what "actually" happens if it feels the opposite. I love November 1st because it is officially the beginning of the holiday season!!! I hate Starbucks less this time of year b/c of all the pretty xmas decorations and how much nicer our customers are. I don't hate hate the Buck, I'm just in a very disatisfied place with it. I like the work overall. I like the combination of talking to people, supporting and developing the people I work with, and learning about finances and business. I love the awesome benefits. What I don't like is that the general public is often annoying as hell and I've been working with them for most of my working life. I work with a lot of people who are lazy and distractable and have to be told things like, "please don't put your hands in your mouth to remove your tongue piercing while you're making drinks." The rest of the managers and I often feel like we're just babysitting and it's very frustrating. I also just don't believe in the work. It doesn't inspire or challenge me and it's just not that fulfilling. So this week I'm less disgruntled with it b/c it's about to get glossed over for the holidays. I just continue to feel disatisfied and am not sure if I should really do something about it.
For those of you who haven't heard-Dan and I got engaged. I'm pretty excited and happy...and still figuring out how to tell my parents. It's totally not us but Dan and I are considering him talking to my dad old fashioned style. He wouldn't "ask for my hand in marriage" but would maybe try to have a conversation about it and then break the news. I just think that it would be nice to meet my parents a little on their terms and do something that shows we thought about them. It won't be easy for my mom to accept this so if we can give a little extra and feel okay about it then I want to. I just don't know if we'll end up feeling okay about it.
I love waking up to a chilly house. I'm so glad it's not hot anymore.
