So yeah, where've I been lately?

I got a job.  Working at a photo studio in Wal-Mart (so technically not employed by Wal-Mart, thank goodness!).  Y'know, the places that do photo packages of people's kids in front of a pull-down backdrop.

Today's my first day of training so I have no idea what it's like yet.  No experience required = score! hehe.  Supposed to be a 20h/week schedule but again it's my first day so I don't know what my hours are going to be like yet.

Probably I'll like it a lot.  I'm really nervous right now though.  Someone on another forum told me, the longer you do nothing, the harder it is to start something.  And it's true.  My self-confidence is totally atrophied.  I have absolutely no faith in myself as a working adult; I keep having this feeling that the whole world would be better off if I just stayed out of the way.

So love it or hate it, I've made a promise to myself to stick out out for a month or two, for my own sake.  If I hate it, then I will start looking for something else better.  In the meantime the money will be a big help.  On the list of things to buy for the apartment: DVD rack, new TV stand, new (smaller) couch.  Then we'll see about either moving to a better apartment next year or moving out of town completely, depending on what I decide to do for school.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to cover all of that at $8.50/hr.  But I will get further than I am now at $0/hr!

(if you can't tell, I'm trying to pump myself up before I go in at 3..trying not to think of all the bad scary things that could happen, like having to work weekends!)
