Ride Into the Danger Zone

I did it!
Starting Sunday, I will be the new store manager! I started only ten months ago, and only five months ago I was promoted to my assistant manager position. Two times in less than a year?! Crazy.

My experience in this particular store has prepared me to dominate this position, but I am still terrified. I will not fail. I will kick butt. Plus, It is fairly re-assuring to be told by my superior that my only area of opportunity is to be more confident in my abilities and knowledge.

This is a new, big step in my life, and for once, I am not resisting this change.

Good Luck

"Oh, I loved you but let me go.
So many years ahead,
might as well greet them with a lighter load."

Something just makes me so happy about this band/ song.

Good Luck- "1001 Open Hands"

Birth of a Gamer

It's not so secret that my familiarity with video games compares to that of a 2 year old, and even then, they could probably crush me (damn Baby Einstein). When everyone was geeking-out on Mario and a lovable Ape, I was glueing pieces of paper together and skinning my knees. Little did I know my lack of participation in this sport would come around and bite me in the arse.

We have been in the age for a while now where we embrase the things of our youth, but now we're being social about it. Video games are a way of the party. Every normal human being is doing it, so last night I bit the bullet, thanks to some encouragement and a microphone thrown in my lap by Carley. After the initial uneasiness of showing my true, musical colors, you know what I learned? Video games are kinda fun. Also, since the revival of social video gaming, with the introduction of new and snazzy gaming systems, I am not too far behind my peers. So, being only a few semesters behind, I say "Rock on, and show me a good bass riff!"

Lingering

"Oh how your ghost, undyingly, whispers in my ear
it's teeth chattering, unable to push you through the
hippocampus, past..."

Truths XXVII

I need to learn how to relax.
I need to accept that in some situations I'm doing the best I can with the resources that I've been given.
Mostly, I need to learn how to appreciate a snow day and not feel guilty about it.
