I finally got a job. It is in the deli at Wal-Mart. I had to sit through some boring, corporate-type bullshit orientation for three days and take 35 CBLs. It is a computer based learning system that I like to refer to as the "brainwashing" system. Each one of those damn things take about 20-40 minutes and it is all corporate regulations. Each one is designed to make it seem like they truly care about their associates and customers. I just want to be like "Ok who is kidding who? All you care about is making money. You are a huge corporation". It is hard working for a place like that since I am hugely anti-corporation. But experiencing humility is just a part of life. In this economy, I am going to take what I can get and not complain (except of course in my own journal!!). The first day actually in the deli was ridiculous. Nobody wanted to train me and I stood there invisible pretty much. I was obviously upset and starting to get worried that I would have to learn everything on my own. The next day was much better. I guess a better staff was around and a lot of the older ladies were very helpful and I ended up learning a lot! I was the stocker for the day and found so much produce I have never even heard of! I can't wait until I get my Wal-mart discount card because I found some great things I want to buy.
Besides the boring work life, my love life has been ultra-interesting and super amazing. I have had quite a few boyfriends in the past, in fact a few of them I really thought were true love. Then I met Dave. He is the best boyfriend I have EVER had! Never knew a relationship could be this exciting. Whenever I see his face I feel at home, safe, comforted, love. The way he holds me, the way he talks to me, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. That being said, we have decided to get married. Not any time soon, but next year. We have only been together for two months so I am not really telling many people this because I know their first reaction is going to be I'm crazy. But honestly, when you know YOU KNOW. And we know. We've also spent every single day together. I feel like I have known this man forever. Plus he does not want to have kids! And I most definitely do not either. The reason we decided for next year is because he is getting out of the air force and moving back to his home state, Massachusetts. I kept asking him what was going to happen to us when he moved. I was not about to move across the country to be with a guy without some sort of solid commitment and he agreed and that was when the marriage word came up. We have both been very excited talking about our future together and I am very glad he is on the same page as me.
So I've left California and traveled to my dream state of Washington where I have met the dream man of my life and next year I will be moving again across country to a state I've never been to. People say following your impulses are for the crazy folk. Well, maybe I am crazy, but I am definitely the happiest crazy gal out there!
