oh, the irony...

so, i have a job.

but not where i wanted. those who know me know i was trying to get some different experience this summer by getting a different job that i had last summer. i actually was really excited about this position at hallmark, but the lady turned out to be kinda leading me on, and i didn't get the job. so, as a last resort, i went back to murdoch's, because they told me last summer that if i needed a job again this summer, they'd hire me. and they're not so bad. they pay's alright, and the people there are always really nice. most of my bosses and managers are great, and i've met some really amazing people working there, because the place is this pier out over the ocean, a total tourist trap. like i met this one lady (kinda) from japan last year, and we didn't really talk much, because she didn't really speak much english, but the cool part was that she used a credit card, so it was like this really weird cool looking japanese credit card, and when she signed the receipt, it was in japanese with like the symbols and everything. my manager and i admired it for a while later that day, when she was cleaning out my register. but yeah, the job's not bad or anything, it's just that the hours suck. on weekends, if you work the late shift, you don't get home till after midnight. ridiculous. anyways, so i went over there this morning to drop off an app and i was home maybe ten minutes when i got a call from the owner patrick, saying i start tomorrow morning at nine. so, that's you're update. i wound up back at the place i was trying to avoid. the unfortunate thing is, i know when my dad gets home, it won't be "well done, you got a job for a few weeks before you go back." it will be "see, i told you. if you'd gone over there in may, you'd have had a whole lot more income over this year." alas, i dread those words. isn't the important thing that i got a job? why does he have to turn it around to a lecture for me. i'm sure there's a lesson God's trying to teach me out of all of this, but i'm feeling just a bit hardheaded at the moment, so i'm not gonna think about it...
