Awkward with a capital W
So I got a job at a little catering and deli place a few blocks down last week. I was feeling fairly awesome about it, because the people seemed cool, and it was a reasonable part time, so I could work on selling things off my website while still paying my half the rent.
After working there for three days, I got a call from a place I had applied with a month ago. They are offering full time with benefits and are going to teach me Adobe Illustrator. And they want me to start monday.
*bangs head into desk*
So I have to go back and tell the manager of the catering place who is very nice to me, and whom I like, that I have to quit. This three days after I told him 'no, I don't see that I'll have any reason to move on for at least a year.' Compounding the awkward, I offer out of guilt to finish out the week, and he accepts. So thursday and friday I do what I've already learned to do, but spend a lot of time standing around because there's just no point in teaching me anything else.
Anyway, the good news is I start a shiny job on Monday. Updates to follow.
