Today was the first day of school for me. It feels really good to have a set schedule to follow. Not having anywhere you need to be may sound nice at first, but give it a week, a month, a year. It gets old after a while.
I started working as a server again last week. Did the training, met some of the managers. Yesterday was one on one training with an actual server. Most of that is really just following the person around and getting use to where everything is, timing, and customer interaction. It was a fairly good day. Towards the end of my shift something very exciting happened for me. I was invited to go out and hang with some of the others and see a local band play. For most this may seem kinda lame to get excited over, but for me it wasn't. To understand why I guess I should explain a little bit more about myself. I am a very shy person most of the time. I was never invited to anything by anyone, even at my other server jobs. In fact, towards the end of my previous job working as a server I found out that because I was so nice, and quiet, and proper, the majority of the waitstaff thought that I was a strict religious fanatic. I never really could figure that one out since I never quoted any scripture or tried to convert any one.
But at this new job I had promised myself that would change. And it didn't take long for it to occur. I decided to talk more, be louder, more present to everyone. It worked really well. Someone noticed. I am really looking forward to working at my new job. Everyone seems really nice and energetic. I'm hoping some of that will rub off on me soon.
This semester will be a good time to try some new things and change some of my bad habits that keep me from meeting new friends.
