Let's Get Down To Business

When I arrived at work today and was unable to pick up, I was initially really discouraged. Not because I actually wanted to work, mind you. Oho, no. It was just one of those moments when nothing seems to be working out. Let me explain.

I am flat broke.

I mean, it's not really my fault. I just paid rent, so my bank account is basically empty, but still...it was just a bummer. I really needed the money, but then...so did everyone else working, it seems. On top of that, I have this looming dollar sign floating over my head at all times for things like bills, next month's rent, loan payments to my dad, etc. Then there's the job. Bubba's has always been decent to me. I'm comfortable there, but it's time to start anew. I need a different environment. I'm stuck in the shrimp guts mud and I need to break someone's face free. But then there's Houston's, who hasn't called me back. Talk about discouraging. One of the few places that feel like a no-brainer, easy-peasy. And no call. Bummer, right?

So I took a step back. And I breathed in and out. And I took a walk around midtown. I stopped by Barnes & Noble, picked up a planner, and some highlighters at Staples and said, "Time to get serious. Time to get organized."

And so that's the plan. I need some structure. Structure, structure, structure.

Yes...wish me luck.

(Oh, 7 more days. Wee!)
