Starting Over

Can I just say, that starting over feels great?

I mean, I'm nervous. I won't lie. There's so much more to know, and there's a lot of pressure because I got hired as a cocktail waitress instead of "working my way up". Their system is entirely different than the one I'm coming from, so it'll take some getting used to. I can't wait until I'm familiar with the new restaurant - I love knowing that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and that I'm doing it right and well. I've already been called an over-achiever (I asked to repeat the expo follow because Friday night I kinda got pushed to the wayside and didn't get to see much)...I have a hunch the gentleman was just flirting with me, but he's right - I like knowing what's going on. I expect perfection out of myself, even right away.

Back to what I was saying earlier. I feel like I can breathe. Starting over feels absolutely wonderful. A lot of changes are occurring, and I think it's truly for the best. I have to cut some ties in my life - and it's going to be incredibly difficult. But I have to remember that this is my life and if it's not healthy for me, it's got to go. I'm ready to find some peace again.

Love,

FINISHED!

Today was my last day at that restaurant. I'm beyond relieved. I can't believe I'm done! I have to start at another restaurant until I can find a job, but that's okay. Sometimes a little change can make a world of difference. I'm in the middle of training at a nicer restaurant, and should be done by the end of next week. Awesome.

Oh, forgive me. Pardon my absence (I have the attention span of a two-year old)...it seems as though I routinely forget about this blog. Not that it matters? I don't think anyone actually reads this.

Here's my rant for the evening: I miss my friends who recently moved away. I miss Houston and our shenanigans and evenings at the bar, out on the patio singing "I'll Be" and "I'm Yours". I miss Lauren and Zack and trivia nights, a sane person to vent to, and the chance to get to know both of them better. I mean, now I have great reasons to travel to different parts of the US, but I wish they were here. Boo. :(

That's all. This is a really random, useless post. But whatever. :)
