Yesterday was a good day at work, except that I was nervous...in fact, I haven't been that nervous since the first few weeks of work. You see, I was told upon my arrival that I was going to train our new worker. It just so happens that the "new worker" is actually the owner's daughter. My stomach was in knots knowing that anything and everything I did had the potential to go straight back to the owner himself. I know I'm a decent worker and that I usually don't do anything wrong, but I was nervous nonetheless. Anyway, Ethan was nice enough to switch shifts with me, so I got to stay until 8 instead of going home at 6, which Jamie could not understand and did not want to accept the simplicity of the truth...I just want to work. I like it there...I'd rather be at work than at home sitting on my butt. I just want to work.
Today I went to Borders with my family. I had received a giftcard from my brother for Christmas and I had many books in mind that I wanted to read. I went with the intent to look at all of these books and then cut down my selection to a maximum of three. However, I couldn't decide and ended up getting them all: Memoirs of A Geisha, The Red Tent, Life of Pi, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Kite Runner. When I got home, I decided to choose one to read. After much deliberation, I chose Life of Pi. It's very good so far and the way in which it is written (very intelligent and strong-minded) reminds me a lot of Adrianna, who is the one who told me how "excellent" it is. I am only on Chapter 7 so far (there are 100 chapters), but there is one quote that has already stuck in my mind, so I will now leave it for you to think about:
"To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation" (28).
