Multiplication

My obsession deepens but not with street art.  I wish this was in Esco but I found it on the internet.  My obsession is with my part time job.  I was able to give up my shifts for when I will be in MA so I will not have any problems.  If I could not get rid of them then I was worried if I called in sick, I would get fired but that is all settled now.  I kept trying to see if I could find a shift for this Sunday and the only thing open was something in Juniors.  I soooooo considered taking it but I decided against being that creepy old guy LOL.  It is all worked out because they called me today to cover on Sunday for 4 hours which is perfect!

I think a lot over why I am getting so obsessed with my part time job.  I know it is the new-ness, that is always a good thing,  Maybe it is the oldness too, retail is a very familiar space for me.  Maybe because it is low stress.  A lot of customers do not stress me.  I just do my thing, treat everyone nice, and feel like I am putting pleasantness into the world.  I know what I need to do and just do it.  Everyone is super nice but since I am there just a small amount of time, there are no politics.  I despise office politics.  I just want to be on time, get my stats, feel proud with what I do and get my paycheck.  Damn I wish I had more employees like me.

Oh speaking of being proud.  I was standing in line at the bank today and I was staring at at the silver bracelet on the lady in front of me.  That is a bad habit and I know I do it.  It was a cool silver bracelet with an intricate pattern.  I must have gotten to that point when she could tell I was staring (I hate that I do not know when I get to that line and so often cross it).  She looked at me and I said, "I was just admiring your bracelet.  It is awesome, very flattering.".  She took my compliment in a positive manner, thanked me and even beamed a little bit.  She then told me she got it at where I work part time at which point this flew out of my mouth, "Oh that makes it even better!  I work there!".  Even I was a little surprised at the level of pride in my voice.  We then continued to chat about what makes it a good place.  She even told me that she would look out for me there because she was sure I was good at what I do.  That made me happy because I am.

See the dots just multiply and then it is your job to connect them!  I just hope this new-ness phase lasts me through Christmas LOL.
