adulthood

orientation tomorrow for my first “real” job… i say “real” because this is not my first actual job but i don’t consider summer jobs or reffing intramural college basketball games “real” jobs. i’m kind of nervous since with “real” jobs there are expectations and goals you must meet, not to just succeed, but to even get a chance to stay.

i will try my best to just memorize the same line to repeat over and over again:

“how are you today? did you find everything you need? can we interest you in a sears credit card application? would you like to be part of our free rewards program?”

sounds easy, except when you are expected to sell a certain amount, especially to be promoted to a salesperson, which is what i hope to be there. so for this job, i will have to grow up, learn how to work with people and be more responsible than i’ve ever been.

which is why i titled this post “adulthood”
