A Change of Scenery...
I've found a new job, though I can't say I'm thrilled by it. I'm back at selling camera's, this time in Almelo in a specialty shop. Once I've found a different job that suits my interests, I'll leave. I'm hoping soon, I'm so not enjoying myself.
It's like my head can't convince me anymore to continue, even though I put on my best smile in the morning and fling myself into the violent traffic that litters the road towards Almelo and the other eastern cities. It's fun to help customers, but to sell camera's - again! - is not my thing anymore.
I've made it my task to find something more in my interest, also in a place where I want to live, because frankly, I feel I'm too damn old to live with my folks anymore. When you turn 28, you kind of get that feeling. It's not like me and my parents don't like each other, I love them dearly and the feeling is mutual, but I can't help think that I should be out there, bugging myself instead of my folks.
Either that, or I worry too much.
Apart from the new job, I've had a fun birthday, which was held at Arjen's place after we returned from the Efteling. The bunch sang for me at the poffertjes restaurant, prompting the restaurant manager in the Efteling to present me with two gifts - A placemat and a birthday calendar! Cool :) To all who were present, thanks for being there, I was a bit worried that it would be a quiet birthday.
Mel showed up at Symbols 10, surprising me massively and resulting in me breaking character for the duration it took as I hugged her silly. The bastards who knew ( you know who you are, you!) kept it under wraps and Mel had her grand moment when they shouted for me to come outside. It was good seeing her, as I really wanted to see her. I've missed her a lot and having her in Holland was actually the best birthday gift I could've asked for :) Thanx hun for surprising the hell out of me. And thanx to those who kept their mouths shut :D
I've finished the Symbols song, which is now also available for listen on my Myspace page. I'm now working out a new song and I've been asked to provide music for a movie project by a friend who plays WoW in my guild. We'll see what I can come up with, I've got a few ideas and I'm happy about letting out some creative steam :)
Due to the new job, I won't be able to make the moots. I am not happy about this, but I have no other choice. I am hoping I am out of there before the Zoom Experience, as I don't really feel like working in a weekend where I want to see my friends for tabletop. Now, I will be delayed, at most, by a few hours. I'll notify those who need to know this.
I will attend Lextalionis 8 and Unity though, as I've paid up and do need my winter time larps badly. If I could attend the moots, I would be happy to do so, but resigning isn't going to help me at the moment as the pay is better than what any mediamarket or similar store could ever offer me.
Apart from all this, I'm just looking for a job so if you know a job in the general area of Arnhem ( or at least a bit to the west instead of the east, as I really want to escape that place) which consists of sales, music or teaching, help me out! as much as I love helping customers, I don't want to see camera's again. It's the Mediamarket all over again.
p.s: Speaking of the Mediamarket, my old chef ( or ex, as I affectionately call him nowadays *grin*) has mailed me again, with the roster for this coming week. Surprisingly, since I haven't worked there for over a year, I wonder what got into his thick skull as he entered my email adress :D I'll take care of them having to remove me from their list this week, but I couldn't help but laugh... First the bastard fires me, then he wants me to work again!?
In other good news: Doodspoor II is coming together nicely :) *rubs hands*
Will keep you guys updated :)
