"I'm a sinner, I'm a saint. I do not feel ashamed!"
My mom told me after work today that she got a call from my supervisor, who started by saying, "This isn't between a supervisor and a manager, let's talk Jennifer to Maria."
And my mom thought, Oh God, my daughter's getting fired. (I swear, my mom has absolutely no faith in me. I kid, I kid...) And then Jennifer continued with: "I just love your daughter, Sofia! She's so polite and friendly and hardworking!" And my mom told me she felt so proud when she heard that.
Ha. Nice.
It feels nice to work hard and get rewarded with a compliment like that. The people at work joke that I'm a workaholic, but I like doing more than just what's required of me. I like knowing that I'm putting more into it and I like doing things right. And if I just did what was required of me, I wouldn't be getting the respect that I'm getting. Granted, it's only sort of respect since I'm only 19 and one lady on the phones made a comment about how small I am (but it was a funny comment between us, so it wasn't like she was making a snide comment), but I like it when people know they can count on me to do my best and can come to me with a little extra. I like being called a speed devil, or whatever it was, because I can do ATEL letters a little faster.
And I like earning money and being able to pay my own bills (ok, just the one credit card I only got this year). I like looking at that checking account and that savings account and watching it grow, knowing that yes, I can make a down payment on the car of my dreams and help my parents with more than just scholarships to pay for tuition.
It makes me feel good.
Oh, and for those of you who don't know, I'm getting a MINI Cooper this year, that I'm going to make a down payment on and pay for part of the regular payments. So yeah, my parents are going to have to help me out a bit, but it's nice to know that I'm sort of earning it, not just having it given to me.
Although, the fact that they're letting me get one does make me a little spoiled. I just don't want to be a typical spoiled brat whose daddy buys her everything as soon as she says, "Want!"
Oh. And I've been thinking about getting a nice, elegant, yet sexy tattoo on the small of my back for my 20th birthday come this September. I want to do it, but I'm not sure I'll go through with it. Any thoughts?
