pain on pain on play repeating...
with a backup makeshift life in waiting.
i have a lot to say, but i'm going to try to keep it brief.
first of all, drum roll please... i have a date tomorrow night. and, like a lot of things this year, i have a really good feeling about it. hopefully details to follow... but i'll go ahead and tell you that giddy has crept up on me. and i'm officially a little anxious. lol i sent them a text tonight that said "hey, do me a favor and don't kill yourself tonight. i'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow." with the response of "ha! i won't. i'm looking forward to it, too."
i'm a little nervous about the new job. although i still technically have it, i have to have yet another sit down thursday with everyone. i'm pretty sure it's going to be about salary negotiations. and i'm afraid i can't come to work for the amount of money they're going to offer me. and the thing is, i'm not a car. i'm a good investment. everything i bring to the table is something they need. and that's not being arrogant. just honest. first and foremost, i run productive, cost effective shifts. you can't ask for more than that in a restaurant manager. i've pieced a training program together with brie. i've shown my commitment. now i just want them to pay me what i'm worth. and i'm afraid that if they don't at least attempt it. i'll walk away from the table. and i think the thing that makes me most angry about it is i don't feel as though brie has my back like she should. i understand that if i walk away from it, it's going to be on my own terms; i wouldn't have it any other way. but she's not taking up for me like i would for her.
we're a few weeks into 2010 and i'm officially behind schedule according to my resolutions. but i have been more social. i even crashed (well semi-crashed) a house party a couple of weeks ago.
lane kiffin left ut. and i've talked verbally about that so much this past week that i can't post about it. and i'm getting more comfortable with the idea of our new head coach. i know we've been set back a few years, but i still have high hopes for this coming season. i'm sure you'll see a lot out of me come football time in tennessee!!!
i'm playing uncle tonight, taking danielle to school in the morning, so i'd better hop off here and go to bed!
g'night!
