I'm feeling very.. observant today. It's one of those days where I'm not actually part of society, I'm just sitting back and observing things.
Job's going well. I'm starting to get down this sales thing, and I know that as soon as I get some experience in I'll be hooked.
I got way too much information from Barb when we were doing our training workbooks, but that can be dealt with. I'm in an adult workplace now, I can't expect everyone to remember I'm still a "kid."
But the amusing part is that the interview and first day of training were all "we're creating memories for people and helping them to cherish each stage of their child's lives." Y'know, all the fluff stuff that every company has.
Then last night Jerry/Jerri/Geri (however she spells it), the District Manager, came in and started going over the sales section with us trainees. Suddenly it wasn't so cute and fluffy anymore. It was how to get more money, how to "talk" to them, how to draw out information.. lawyer stuff, really.
Honestly, I love it. I don't have a "persuasion" streak for nothing. ^_^ Really, we are creating memories. That's a major part of the photography section. But as for the sales section.. *Grin* I just have to make them cherish those memories even more.
That sounds pretty cold, doesn't it..? XD Oh, well. At the very least, I love my job. ^^
As for the other part of being all analytical and amused.. decided to finally go through Brad's blog archive.
I'm not sure whether to have hope or not. On one hand, I'm going through the uber-angsty stage right now.. she's four years older than me and WAY more angsty (I mean, almost every post was being mad, peeved, or depressed). That could look pretty bleak.
On the other hand, I'm not CONSTANTLY angsty. And I'm rarely mad, especially not at people in general like others are. But it doesn't help in the brewing problems..
I think Brad's awesome (gender issues aside), but the constant angst is kind of a downer.. and honestly, I hate how much and how easily things turn obscene. Especially when they laugh at me because I don't understand their innuendo.
I don't WANT to understand their innuendo! ><;;
Oh, well. I've been getting away more.. actually left to go study with Anna in the library today. We ended up making the beginnings of our own language, then had fun when Casey was standing there trying to figure out "lasira."
Then the most disturbing thought came into his mind, thus fragging and deeply disturbing mine. He pointed at me and Anna and gave us that weird look, then said something like, "..You're trying to be discreet, but you're not doing a good job of it."
He'd earlier been trying to use "lasira" for her and I. Each time, I twitched massively and tried to hide. I don't wanna know what he was thinking. I really don't. ><
Oh, by the way. Lasira, Gabe-chan. ^^
Which reminds me.. that whole blacking out and writing me poems thing is really creepy. I swear, that boy scares me sometimes. o_o;;
But at the core of it all.. I'm exhausted, my body's trying to retaliate to my lack of sleep. When I leave half an hour after waking up in the morning and don't get home until two hours before my (ideal) bedtime, that doesn't leave much time for studying.. let alone relaxing.
I will be so glad when this quarter's over. More hours at work, but that's just work. Work doesn't require massive studying or staying up freakishly late to cram.
Which reminds me, my stomach's doing that "thing" again.. telling me I'm up too late by making me feel sick.
I'm thinking Tuesday, being not a work day AND the day right after a quiz so therefore the only day I feel safe slacking off, I'll be taking a nap and going to bed freakishly early. Like, 8:30 or 9. I couldn't even keep my eyes open to watch freakin' Stargate Atlantis tonight. -_-
Alas, enough ranting! Cya later, peoples. Oyasumi! ^^
