I'm sure I just need time to adjust, but I'm really not sure that I'm going to like this whole switch to Trader Joe's. Everyone keeps telling me that I'll love it and that I'm fortunate to have it along side of this internship, but I can't help but feel...well...not excited about it. Everyone keeps asking me how I like it and I feel like I'm constantly putting on a smile and saying "Yes, I like it." I mean, let's be honest here. It's a grocery store. A glorified grocery store. And I can tell myself all I want that I am happy to have a job that doesn't require much thought processes, but at the end of the day, it just feels like a waste.
Maybe my brother is finally getting to me. Maybe I need to give up and just look for some sort of job that pushes me. But the internship is doing it. I LOVE this internship. I want to pursue this internship.
I really miss having my nights. I mean, if it's a grocery store, why do they really need me to work nights? I'm sure there are plenty of other people that work there that love working nights. I hate it. I hate 2nd shift. My life happens right during those hours. And I'm afraid of them. I'm afraid to ask off for the 2 concerts that I want to go see coming up. I am afraid to say that I want Thursday nights back because of a Bible study that I'd love to attend, not to mention, once a month, I have meetings.
Maybe I'm being selfish? Starbucks gave me nights off. At least I had that. Ugh. I do not regret the decision to leave though. Those early mornings were awful. If I didn't have to worry about insurance, this would be so much easier. I could just work somewhere fun and cute on Monroe street.
Well, I have my first night shift tonight.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Andy Camann played his first solo show last night at the Frequency. It was a great show. He's really very talented and passionate about what he does and it's evident and inspiring. Plus, getting to hear a slew of his songs again was just fun. The only other time I'd seen that was when we hulled up in his apartment and I begged him to play songs for me. :P
After that, Eric and I ran to go get some food and watch the Brewer game at the Local Tavern. Good little place, though ridiculously hot.
On the way to grab food, we were walking and a guy turned around and asked us where we were heading. We informed him that we were going to grab some food and he gave us tickets and said "Well, you should double back and come check out the show I'm doing at the Majestic with VH1." So we took the tickets, went to dinner and during dinner realized it was a comedy show. Christian Finnigan was the headliner comedian and we made it with plenty of time to see him. I've never gone to see a live comedian, but I have learned that I would so do it again. He was hilarious and I laughed so hard that Eric thought I wasn't getting air at times.
Not to mention, any time I get to hang out and laugh with Eric gets chalked up to "nights that I love life more than often."
