So the weather is finally turning nice again here in the midwest and I couldn’t be any happier. I also found a new job after that nightmare of a day in the “sales” world. I got hired at a local advertising firm doing some work in their marketing department. My first day was great. I am going to be working with a bunch of great people, mostly young. The office building is super cool too. Its like something you would see in a movie. Free soda and snacks too…can’t beat that.
My new manager’s name is Beth and she is a hipster. She wears dark rimmed glasses and has a really funky haircut. We had a long talk this morning and she told me what some of her favorite bands are and we just so happen to like a lot of the same music. We are both actually going to the Wilco concert at the Pageant this summer. I cannot wait for that show. I have been a fan of that band for a long time and their latest album is the bomb.
Anyway, so my first day at my new job flew by. There was a group of people headed for drinks and one of them asked me if I’d like to tag along. I said, “Absolutely!” and met the group at a bar called Jimmy’s. It was a cute little place with a relaxing patio out back. We grabbed a large table and sat down. The waitress came over and took our drink order. I was in a festive mood so I ordered a large margarita. I guzzled it down and was starting to have a really good time with my new co-workers.
A girl by the name of Betsy whom I was sitting next to asked me if I was single. I told her that I was and wondered why she was asking. She told me she had a single guy friend that would be great for me. She showed me a picture and I was definitely interested. She gave me his number and we started texting him immediately…the booze was helping my confidence. So long story short, I set up a date with this guy and we are going out next Friday. I’m so excited.
Needless to say, I was having a great day. Jimmy’s was close enough to my house so I was able to walk home. No need to ruin this day with a DUI. So things are looking up. I was pretty down in the dumps a couple of weeks ago after getting fired after my first day of sales. Hopefully today was a sign of good things to come.
