man, i had the conversation i needed last night with good buddy val. she sure can whip a fella into shape. gonna take my last 2 nights here on the haight totally for granted and sit around and listen to the lemonheads and fuck around online, but hopefully after that I'll be onto a new chapter.
the basics of her suggestions was that i'm being selfish by not being out there giving out energy when there are a bunch of douches just doing it to be cool. she has been a constant for at least 4 years now and i made a pretty big impression on her with what i was able to pull off in austin. she's one of the pensacola peoples and a big reason why i moved out here as well. although the attendance was rarely huge, apparently the vibe was in her eyes. she really propped my ego up a bit, but i could use to not be down on myself constantly.
the ladies at work were really pushing me towards one of those open positions at OpenTable today, so sleeping in tommorrow (DAY OFF!) coffee at my favorite locale and resume updating and online applying. With the support I've been given, I can't NOT apply.
i'm sorta worried about working in finances, but i figure if mitch can handle it surely i can. One of my reasons for coming out here was to try and get a job at a dot com. this isn't exactly the path i envisioned, but we are pretty solid right now when most companies are not. They like to hire from the inside so it may just depend on my follow through at this point.
wish me luck on these next few days. i move on saturday to a new part of town with new people, so the next week could be an explosion of positivity. that's what i'm hoping for.
