So I’m feeling better about Austin. I drove straight to the potential future job this morning and still wasn’t feeling better. I walked in and felt defeated and unmotivated.
Then I met with a potential future coworker and we toured the store and talked about it. By the end I felt more confident and was actually talking about plans to work with the team and polish it up. I was saying, “we.”
I left feeling high. Not eat Cheetos and watch Kangaroo Jack high, but like on a cloud high. I still have a formidable opponent or 2 (UPDATE: 4, as it turned out), but I think I have a strong chance. I’m going to give it my all and see what happens. Which is what I said yesterday but now I don’t wonder where that motivation is going to come from.
The downside to working there will be my checking account, as I will be within walking distance of a Lululemon, Amy’s Ice Cream (though given the pineapple basil sorbet I tried today, I won’t need Amy’s), REI, Book People and Waterloo Records.
I would also need this girl to come and join me as soon as there’s an opening.
