go for it.

the place i had my reading in nyc back in the day is up for grabs again. i need to do a submission, and so i will.

i have a completely different thing going on from what i read last time i was there, so maybe, just maybe it's time to read in the city again.

it was a good night at work. i learn so much from the different people and there is a willingness to grow from most of the people.

i met the district manager tonight. he seemed nice enough, but i've heard how things have been handled in the past. i will let him prove himself on his own terms.

we spoke briefly about how i'm adjusting to the faster pace, and i told him that was the biggest change.

he said my boss spoke highly of me and if i wanted to try a higher volume store, i could. any faster pace and i think i'd be laid out on the floor in exhaustion.

i can't even imagine.

i thought our store was high volume and he said,

it's the lowest volume store in my district.

yikes.

but we're going to change that. because we're a really great crew. one of the shifts i adore is going to transition out in two weeks, and become an assistant, which is good for her, sad for me. i like her. i trust her. but maybe she will stay in contact. it seems to be the case, i guess she lives nearby. she works very hard.

i think when your younger is the time to make the move toward assistant or manager because it requires great flexibility. not that i'm not flexible, but i've got a kid to think of.

i hear one of the new shifts has the same availablility as me and the other shift (who often work together), but maybe that's good, maybe it will result in less, way less hours.

i don't know. we'll see.

i'm tired and must to bed, but i'm not sleepy, so who knows. i'll stay up for awhile and see if i can't get some schoolwork done.

peace. out.
