Yes, I know it has been a really long time since I posted anything. However, I have been a little busy getting used to my new life...
I got the job at the Olive Garden. I went through 1 1/2 weeks of training, which included tasting pretty much everything on their menu. So far, that has been the best part of the job. :) In all honesty, I really, really, really don't like it. Most of the people I work with are very nice, it's just the nature of the job I'm not a fan of. It's way too hectic, & it unbalances my chi. Apparently, I do a lot better in a calmer, slower-paced environment. Too bad I didn't know this before.
One night a couple of weeks ago, I was in the shower after an exceptionally long night at work. I was pondering about how much I hated my job when the thought smacked me upside the head: "Hey, why don't you find out if there are any day spas here in Logan, & take your resume around to them." (In case you were wondering, I have a lot of thoughts that smack me upside the head in the shower. Apparently, that's my place of inspiration.) What a brilliant thought. I paid a lot of money to go to massage therapy school, so why not use the license I have? Genius. When I was up here for Round One, there weren't any day spas in Logan, which is why I didn't think of this before. However, that was almost 7 years ago. Things change. Duh.
The next day, I took my resume to 6 different spas. I was pretty much offered 2 jobs on the spot. I haven't accepted either one yet, as I am waiting to hear from the manager of one of them. She's supposed to tell me how much I'd be making. Kind of important knowledge. Hopefully, I'll know where I'm going to be working by the beginning of this week. All I know for sure is that it won't be at the Olive Garden. :)
As far as the living situation goes, I'm beginning to feel a little more at home in the apartment. My first roommate has moved out, and I have a new one. She seems to be a nice person, although I never see her. The crazy next door neighbors have left as well. These people were living in the bedroom that shares a wall with mine. They were a couple who had a new baby. Yes. A baby. Living in single student apartments. With other roommates. I would hear the baby cry every night, at various times. Not only that, I could hear the parents yelling at each other. All the time. These were exceptionally classy people, especially the guy. I heard him say the "F" word every 3 seconds, pretty much every time he opened his mouth. I also heard him tell his girlfriend/wife that he'd slap her if she didn't stop crying one night. It was awesome to lay in bed & listen to the domestic disputes taking place on the other side of the wall. I'm really glad they're gone. :)
I think that about covers it. School is over for the summer, so I have a little more free time on my hands. Fall semester starts in 2 weeks, and I'm actually looking forward to going to class. It will be nice to be around people again, since I spend a lot of time all by myself in my apartment. :) Probably not the healthiest thing, but that's life right now!
'Till next time...
