Trotting New Territory

I feel like I am always traveling new territory these days. As if everything that comes across my path is fresh, I'm learning things and trying to change my attitude toward dealing with people on a daily basis. I'm more of a background kind of person, but I'm finding myself in the forefront here lately! Ahh! Again, I'm just going to do my best.

I dressed up for my bank job interview yesterday. I wanted to look professional and dress the part. For anyone on my Facebook, they have access to the pictures. Here's the full body image of my outfit for those who aren't or missed it. Oh, the first one is from January 15, 2009 though for comparison!





I was wearing heels too(borrowed from my sis-pointy toed shoes hurt)! They were only like an inch or two. Not too big because Lord knows I'd have busted my butt!! I was worried at first since there were 4 prospective employees there-3 ladies and 1 guy. My card said 2 pm and another lady said her time was 2:30. The woman to see came in and grabbed the 2:30 one while someone else was interviewing the other lady. The guy said he would come back to next day since interview woman was busy and couldn't get to everyone. I interviewed with the internal recruiter(inside jobs versus the teller jobs). I was a bit nervous(who isn't typically when they're first starting out?) She was from Aberdeen, so that loosened the tension a bit. She seemed really nice and I felt like I came off well. Maybe like I was too ready for fun or something, haha. Not exactly the personality needed for a bank teller position.

Before the interview though, I received a call from Wal-Mart. They wanted to see if I'd be interested in being a part-time(33 hours) deli associate. Something else new to me! I'm not good at cooking/timing things, so there will definitely be some praying going on while I'm frying that chicken and whatnot! Hopefully, I won't burn my finger off! As usual, I'm going to give it my best shot. Whatever happens will happen and either I'm meant to be there/can handle or there's something else out there for me. We will see! Even with the slightly extra pay(.75 more/hr), I'm not sure it will be enough. It's hard working and still not having any money lol!

D wanted me to make an appointment with the counseling service today. I haven't done it because tomorrow is his birthday and it's really the only day we have left. I don't want to be going through all the he/she said stuff on his BIRTHDAY. I have fallen into this bad habit of omitting things from what I say so I don't get him upset. Not good when you get to that point. Another day and I supposed I could do counseling with him to talk about all that, but not his birthday. Not that day. I'm just working on getting some space, so that we can both take time to think. Things will work out in one way or another. All things (typically) heal with time. I'm about to head to Wal-Mart to finish things up there and see what time I have to come in Monday. After that, I plan on taking a walk around the park for a bit with my new $15 mp3 player-so far so good! Yay! Should make things go by more smoothly.

Have a beautiful Wednesday! Take care of yourselves because you are worth it and you do deserve it. Til next time...
