I FOUND A JOB!

I'll be working at Sonic, now!
Everybody thought I was going to be a carhop, and would be on rollerskates while delivering food to the customers.
No...that's not the only position available....I'm going to be working the drive thru, and, if they cross-train me, fixing up fountain drinks as well.
I can't wait to see how many familiar faces show up.
I already have one guaranteed customer in my Bakeshop class. His name is Al...short for Aloyious...he doesn't like his full first name, though.
I only happened to see it by chance when someone handed him back a graded paper last year in my credit retrieval class...good times.
It's funny. I don't go out-out too often.
The best places to go are the movie theater and the card shop.
When I'm at the card shop alone or with a friend, I often see people who had been gone but are back again.
My dad always makes a joke saying, "It's the Fallon water that keeps people coming back" (even though everyone knows the water here is awful. I drank some just today...it tastes so weird that I don't even like drinking it anymore)
I've never liked drinking water...I like sweet things, especially drinks: soda, juice, sweet tea, milkshakes, etc. But water is just something I drink when there's no milk, or if I'm in a place where I can drink nothing but water and am in desperate need of something cold and refreshing.
But anyway, I'm super excited about this job. I hadn't wanted to work fast food, but Dad was really getting on my case about it, so I took what I could get...and this is what I got.
I shouldn't sound so unappreciative, I know. God blessed ME with this job above all others who applied for it (and believe me, there were MANY. I saw the stack of applications he had, and it would be enough to shoot down anyone's hopes), and for that...well I am wholly grateful.
I keep thinking of reasons they could fire me....I haven't started just yet (I was supposed to today at 4:30, but they canceled due to weather and said I would start training tomorrow at 4:30). I'm really hoping I don't slip up and give them grounds to fire me....wouldn't that be one of the absolute worst things to ever happen to someone? Getting fired from a fast food joint? With the way things are now, people don't even need resumes to get hired at fast food places! So if you got fired from one, and then tried filling out other applications with your work experience, employers would look at yours and think you had the worst work ethic imaginable!
But I'll do my best. I really will.

Two Wolves

TWO WOLVES


One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.



"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.



"The other is Good - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."



The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed"

Strange Dreaming 2

So last night's dream was also strange...

I dreamt that there was this man who lived in an apartment in what appeared to be New York City...I mean...it was kind of like the sort of places you see in movies where the poor people live...although his apartment was actually kind of nice inside.The man's name was George A. Shaw, and he was seemingly associated with a gang. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but at some point you see the man in his apartment rummaging through things frantically. He packed some suitcases and sped away in his car. No one ever said anything, but he was accused of killing his wife. He was apparently confused  with another George A. Shaw... Anyway, so you see the man driving through the streets aimlessly, trying to lay low. He goes to a club at about 5 in the evening. It's still a bit light outside. He goes in and comes out with a woman, telling her they need to get out of the city. It's his wife. They get in the car and go, but are followed by some strange guy...At some point George gets his ass kicked....A lot of the dream was very confusing, but was still related to the story...I just lost track of what was going on. Mostly I just like to sit back and watch. Seriously....every dream I've ever had that I can remember is so movie-like...I could just never make them into movies because most of them are hella weird. But anyway...that's what I can remember of my dream.

I April Fooled Myself...

Here's what happened:
I went to bed last night. I fell asleep. I had a dream.
In my dream, I was sitting in my room and was on the computer checking my email. One message immediately caught my interest: It was from Raley's ( I applied there in October, I believe). It was saying that I had been hired there. I immediately rushed to get Daddy and bring him in to tell him the news and show him the message and he congratulated me and we threw a big party. I remember seeing Uncle Ranger there. Oddly enough the house was dark and there were some guests playing the PS3 (it's gone now. Uncle Ranger got to have it). Anyway, strangely, the woman who sent me the email came to my house so she could chat with me and tell me all about the job duties. Then, when the party got too loud for her, she went home and started  texting me instead. I was to start work the next day. Then...I have this feeling of being deep in sleep, unable to be awoken by any sound...but then I heard it...this shrill, nagging noise...quiet at first but gradually getting louder. It was my alarm clock. I remember opening my eyes this morning and immediately thinking, "Shit...this means I don't really have a job."
It felt so REAL in the dream. It really did seem as though my job-hunting problems were finally over, and then all it takes is a quick dose of consciousness to send it down the drain. I DID laugh, however, at the realization that, in a way, I April Fooled myself. I hope everyone had a nice, prank-filled day.
