Ahhh
Absinthe on a mostly empty stomach... whee? Yeah, definitely whee.
The one thing I hate about having a new job, only a couple week is, is the timidity that goes with it. I'm on commission, so it's my own responsibility to get pumped and sell shit. But with any new job, there's the fear you're gonna do something wrong. So far, everyone has shrugged off whatever mistakes I've made. But there's always that fear that you'll do something that offends a co-worker, or worse, a manager. That doesn't go away for quite a while into a job. I'm pretty confident in my abilities. Actually, I'm downright arrogant about my abilities. But there's always the possibility someone in a position of power isn't going to like something you do, or even be offended because you do something so well. I hate new jobs. But they're much better than NO jobs.
I don't have time to check LJ much anymore. My spare time is often spent being social. A rare thing for me, but hey... there's a blonde almost as tall as I am who's weird enough for me, and very attractive... that's a reason to be social, that. :)
I'm enjoying being on commission. There's something really exhilarating about EARNING your money. If you work hard, get good at what you do, treat the customer right... you earn PILES of cash. If you're a fucktard, you earn nothing. I like that. I'm always good at what I do, it's a matter of pride, so I don't have too many concerns. I can see it being difficult during slow times though... but them's the breaks, right? This job will be good through Christmas season anyway... after that, well, we'll see. One thing at a time.
Speaking of one thing... that blonde is really a bigger priority than work, LOL. It's been a year and 6 months since my last serious relationship. I'm restless and bored and lonely. So the timing might be very good. But we'll see.
This girl, another friend from work, and my friend Amanda, and I of course, are all planning on going to see a production of Carmen in October. I haven't seen an opera since I left Toronto. It will be EVER so cool to go see one again. And in good company. I can't wait. I just hope we can get some decent tickets. Opera's tend to be booked a long time in advance, and I won't know what date I can book for until the 20. Frustrating. But well worth it. Carmen is an incredible opera, one of my favourites.
