Real-life?
I haven't updated here in about a month - I think that's the longest I've ever gone without writing something here. Even if it's just a boring post about how "busy" I am. Really I have actually had a lot of work going on this month, and helping get ready for my friend Jenna's wedding shower. The shower was yesterday, and she had a great time, and her mom and sister and other bridesmaids had a great time - so that's what's important. I'm sure that some people didn't enjoy it, but really I don't care.
It's strange to write that, but going to work at a customer service job everyday and putting on a smile for incredibly rude and horrible people has taught me that it is not worth pleasing everyone. In fact some people don't WANT to be pleased. They would prefer to bitch and moan their entire lives about tiny insignificant details that give them an ounce of power over other people. McGuckins has made me extremely cynical and angry at times. I hate being treated as though I have little to no intelligence just because my job title is "cashier." I would like to know I paid all those thousands of dollars on college for a reason. That maybe it qualifies me for a tiny bit better job. I've been applying to a lot of jobs lately. I finally have an interview tomorrow morning. I am so so nervous.
Father's Day was good today. We spent the morning with my dad, and the afternoon at home. We had a long and serious conversation about having a family, and finances and planning for the future... It's strange to feel at once like a very old teenager, and also an adult at the same time. Sometimes I still have to remind myself that we're living on our own... for some reason that still hits me almost every day.
What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfillment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade. ~Gertrude Jekyll
