Yay! Eeee!!!
I've been semi-productive today. Walking around town suits me well. I like my scarf. I like my jacket. I like my bag overloaded with library books. I like looking into the windows of little bakeries and flower shops. I stopped into a little sub shop and was strangely smitten. It was something hidden inside me. I was apprehensive but spoke with the manager guy, he had me scribble some things about myself on a piece of paper and said he'd call me to chat. Not many hours, not a lot of money...but it seemed promising to me. I'm stupid, aren't I? Working in food is lame-O. This place just felt quaint. The guy I spoke with is a KU graduate, film major, seemed like totally my kind of person...very real. He talked to me about his last job, banging his head against the wall and falling into this position.. He's been there for the past year or so..is working on some marketing, opening new places for them.. We could relate on that level. We talked about radio (my gig in/immediately following college). So, for whatever reason.. I went into this cute little sub shop today and may be starting a job there. Eh. Who knows, right? I'm up for anything that has some fun involved. Whaddya think? I told him if I were to take a job there..I most certainly was not looking for a career and he said he wasn't either but it may turn into that.. If for some crazy reason (and crazy things DO happen) that guy reads this blog.. I should tone it down on the details, eh?
I bought 2 cookies, 1 for me, 1 for him, at the bakery next door. It was cute and they informed me that they're not looking for anyone right now. I wish I knew what the hell it is that I want to do. The manager at the sub shop is a writer. Do you see what I mean? At all? It seemed a strange kinship...ya'know? I was so happy happy, excited to see comments on the ol' blog. Very fun. Thank you. I should be unpacking.

Oooh, neat little sub shops can supply some serious growth, PP! I worked in one (franchised) for a couple years, and I was hired as lowly counter help, got promoted on my first day to delivery driver (cha-ching!) and eventually grew into assistant manager!
It's not a high-paying job, but the overall profit (especially if you like the food) can be astounding. If I could stand the current owner of that same sub shop, and could afford to lose half my pay, I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Good luck, and way to go, keeping your mind open!!
