Be your dream

Hey there,
Hope everyones swell.
I got that job I was wanting, I'll actually tell you more about it. I got hired onto the mobile team which I'll be honest I was nervous & not exactly stoked about but I was happy to be employed by somewhere I really have wanted to work for for awhile.
The first week was pretty hectic, not alot of training & I'll be honest I never really felt I was given great training mostly because my manager was in Calgary getting trained during my first week & a bit. Anyway after the training I was doing alright, by no means amazing. If anyone knows the first thing about me, I truly hate not being great at anything. You could say I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, so I started to loathe coming to work, unbeknownst to my coworkers or manager. Aside from the fact I wasn't that great at doing my job, I was also working full time at the office. I literally had two nights where I didn't work.. but with a social life that ='d no time for alone time, I'm a big fan of alone time. So I won't lie I wasn't the happiest person during the month of August but c'est le vie, life goes on. I'm grateful to just be employed.
Fast forward to today, I go into work, check the schedule & I'm only scheduled to work one day next week. I exclaim out loud about it with my manager right there & he says he wants to talk to me. Right away my mind went to "oh shit I'm getting fired" but I kept it together. Hah, how else would I have reacted anyway? Anyway he brings me into an office and I'm preparing myself to be told I've been let go because I've never been fired from somewhere before.
He tells me that we didn't make budget last month, he doesn't have enough daytime staff & too much evening staff so I'm like here it comes but then he tells me I seem like a good person with a good head on my shoulders then asked if it'd be alright if they just switched me departments. So I'm like YES & right away I'm happy because a)I didn't lose my job and b)I don't have to sell phones anymore. He says a couple more nice things about how they like me n stuff & wanna keep me on and I'm all sweeeeet then he gives me some deets on when that'll come into effect & all that jazz and that's the end of the story.

That took way too long, but in other news this weekend I start going to my choir rehearsals which I'm way stoked about. I'm excited to get my music and start singing and meet everyone. I'm nervous a bit too though, which at first I didn't think I was but as I near it I seem to be more nervous than I thought I'd be.

What I'm definitely more nervous about is school, the antici... pation is killing me. I don't start til end of October and that just seems like eons away from right now. Especially with seeing and hearing about everyone else going back to school right now. I'm just really excited to start learning and moving forward in my career.

In other news I've been watching lots of movies as always. I saw Machete, Going the Distance, Scott Pilgrim, The Last Exorcism, The Last Song and probably some more movies I'm forgetting the titles of. I've also been watching lots of Kenny vs. Spenny, my brother has seasons 1-5 and he borrowed them to me so that's whats been in my dvd player the last while.

Anyway, I'm tired so I'm going to take my make-up off and watch some Kenny vs. Spenny before I go to bed.
