i'm interviewing tomorrow for a job at papyrus, in northpark mall. my sweet friend wendy put in a good word for me, and she says the job's as good as mine... but i'm still a little nervous. it's been nearly 18 months since i worked as a cashier at whole foods. i hope my "real world" skills aren't too rusty. the customer service aspect i'm not worried about; i love people, i love to talk, i love to help, and i love to smile and be nice. it's the other, more technical duties - managing the system, till, safe, closing procedures, troubleshooting if something goes wrong, etc. - that i'm anxious about. i don't always have a ton of common sense in those situations. i'm sure i'll get the hang of it all after a few weeks.

i'm about 80% excited about getting a job, and 20% sad. the 20% sadness is because i know i will miss micah and rowan while i'm working (i'll miss josh too, of course, but i'm already used to being separated from him for 8 hours a day). the 80% excitement is about a new experience, getting some time to myself in a fun environment, and getting to buy some new clothes and shoes. the dress code is black, white or gray, and i've already picked out two pairs of shoes at target. weeee! : )
