demakatTh house shook twice like a bomb sound, but it turns out it wasn't us. I thought my dad was exploding milk bottles again with his hydroxy gas thing.
Instead of sitting out with people I went up to my room and decompressed? Something like that. I worked today and got to be part of a parade. Half the people I say that to were all "oh at your store" nope an actual parade in the community. It was pretty fun but very very hot. So about 45 min walking and then another 45 minutes where I got lost in the neighborhood trying to find my car. In 100 degree weather. Thankfully it was a fairly wealthy community so they believed in watering their lawns, even in the middle of the day. I got a few free cool down showers and eventually found my car. I also managed not to cry about being lost.
When I got back to the store I immediately went to the bakery freezer by the receiving dock and stood in it. I was so hot there was steam coming off of me and it wasn't my breath. Marginally better I went and grabbed the other shirt I'd brought, a bottle of water (my third) and dragged a step stool into the freezer again. Then I sat in there until I started to feel a little cold. Then I did some worky things and also went to get iced tea with lots of ice and finally retrieved the clean shirt I had left in the freezer. Changed and Dave and I decided that it would be better to leave at 1:30 and not take a lunch than leave at 2:30 and have to clock out for lunch and then clock back in just to do nothing.
So I got home, bought a pie I couldn't eat, cookies I couldn't eat and finally some chips and this awesome black bean dip for myself. If there is still guacamole in the fridge thats what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow. if not its bean dip Mmmm
oop there goes another big one.
I got my Poorcraft book in the mail! It is very awesome. Lots of the things I already know because I grew up knowing them, or many of my friends do stuff from the book, but I think it will make a really awesome reference for when I actually need to practice all of it instead of living off my parents forever.
Prior to today things with the structure of the admin team at work have gotten weird thanks to regional, and now I'm looking at moving on up to full time sign maker at another location much sooner than I expected. I guess my current job is guaranteed for another year and a half, but lots of my superiors think I've learned all I really can where I am and while they can't actively boot me out of the nest if I truly don't want to go yet...there are opportunities opening up and they really want to just shove me out there because they think I can do it.
It is still really strange to me that I'm doing a job I am good at, so it doesn't feel like I'm doing anything special. But the response from other people is very good. I tried so hard at my previous position and it was never good enough, and now it feels like the opposite even though I know I do a lot of things at this job too.
getting support from bosses is weeeeird. it should be the norm, but often isn't.
