First day on the job jitters
In three hours, I officially start my second part-time job at Live and Let Live Cafe (no website to link to, unfortunately).
I was on the verge of panicking about not having full-time work yet this past weekend. On the spur of the moment, I suggested to Michael that we have lunch at the cafe, which was started by several acquaintances a few months ago. It had occurred to me before to apply for a job there previously, but I had never gotten around to checking if they were hiring. While we ate, I filled out an application. The next afternoon I got the call offering me the job.
I'm a bit nervous because it's a completely new line of work for me. Michael texted me earlier today, "It's ok to be nervous on ur first day." I had an amusing mental image of the first day of kindergarten, with Michael leaving me with the teacher and a fully-grown me screaming, "Nooooo!!! Don't leave me!!!" I immediately replied, "Will you go with me and hold my hand?"
I have confidence that I will be able to learn this job, though. And though it's not the kind of work I'm looking for, I can make some money to pay bills while I apply for full-time positions at the library (five of which are getting listed this week). And the fact that I already know most of my coworkers and the clientele helps, too.
Here's what I've been listening to yesterday and today:
- Mission of Burma: The Obliterati
- Espers: II
- Television: Marquee Moon
- LCD Soundsystem: LCD Soundsystem
- Daft Punk: Discovery
- !!!: Louden Up Now
- Scott Walker: The Drift
- Cat Power: Moon Pix
- COIL: Horse Rotorvator
- The Body Lovers: The Body Lovers
- The Body Haters: The Body Haters
