What now?

Sometime I worry that my life is going nowhere. They tell you to dream big, to shoot for the moon because even if you miss you'll land among the stars. But they never tell that it's hard...sometimes really hard to get the things that you want. They tell you to go after your dreams and with hard work you'll make it. But what if you graduate in a recession? What if you're fat and feel like no one sees the talent? And what if you try and try and try again and you still fall flat on your face? What then? Am I doomed to live with my parents for all eternity trying to cram everything I own into one tiny room? No seriously WHAT NOW? What am I supposed to do? I hate this life that I'm living.

Home

So I quit my job at Michaels. I can honestly say that was the best thing for me. But I'm very worried now. I have these grand ideas of being on broadway but I'm not acting like it. When did I let fear come between me and my dreams? So I appiled to 2 year-long internships. Thats is something. And when I get back from camp I'm starting with acting an voice lessons. I need to stop being so afraid and take the plunge. Really I have nothing to loose. I need to get some cajones ASAP

Another 8 hour day

Today was interesting. After working an 8 hour shift yesterday I was called in today for another 8 hours. Can I just say customers are crazy? After working here I will try and be as polite as possible realizing that this worker has probably had to deal with 3 other crazies before me. It's a craft store and everything should be happy right? Ha yeah okay.

I had an interaction with my first crazy/angry customer. A guy comes in looking to find a certain jewelry piece that he had bought the week before and have now apparently sold out of. He wants to buy the display piece that is marked *not for sale*. I run it buy my manager just to be sure because sometimes our displays can be and to satisfy the customer. But when I tell he no, he gets really angry and loud and demands to see the manger. She laid down the law like I had never seen. That part was awesome. This guy however continues to complain to whomever will listen and we hide the display piece to make sure he wont steal it. It was a shame that he was acting like an asshole because as my friend H**** said, he was quite attractive. My advice to you sir: do not wait until the last minute to buy a gift for your girlfriend and always when dealing with jewelry, but more than you need too avoid being *that guy*.
