Smells like shrimp spirit
Dear Diary,
I had two interviews this week. One for a part-time job receptionist gig at the gym where I've been working out. The other volunteering at a non-profit that shelters homeless families. It turns out that the woman who owns the gym also has a non-profit and will need some grants written. And the non-profit needs help with their website.
I think it'll be a great summer and I'll learn a lot if I get both jobs. But I get mortified thinking about the level of responsibility I'll be accepting. I'm always afraid of these kinds of opportunities. I feel like I'll let people down or I'll embarrass my self by not knowing enough. It's why I stick with jobs I'm familiar with even when they're not fulfilling. I had even started applying to jobs at area theatres, even though theatre is not exactly my area of interest (although I did love working Front of House). But I'll never figure out what my area of interest is if I keep doing the same thing.
At any rate, I have a feeling both jobs will pan out. So I will have to keep psyching my self up so I don't let anxiety get the best of me. I've demanded to be taken to Red Lobster if I get both jobs. Shrimp fest!! And I will buy a couple outfits, 'cause both jobs are casual dress and I only have one pair of jeans without holes. I can do this, I can do this. This is my time to learn and to grow. And with shrimp as my incentive, I can do anything.
