First day on the job went really well. It was me and another guy being trained. Get to go back at 5 pm tomorrow...till 1 am!
Our manager took us to the bar for a drink afterwards. That was way cool.
In two weeks or so, they'll start training me as a (dramatic pause for effect) manager! That was unexpected, but my manager said it was for my previous video rental experience, as well as the fact that I seemed to be picking up everything pretty quickly. That would mean my first managerial position, as well as my first salary-based position. So...maybe I'll decide to stick around Reno a little longer than expected.
Sometimes I love the curves life throws me. Sometimes.
James, Adam and I went to Tivoli's for dinner (at midnight). I love hanging out with them, especially because they're really my only good Reno friends. However, sometimes it can feel depressing to be around them. They've been together for a little over a year now. James keeps bringing up things like them buying a house and getting married, and all that jazz. I just want that for myself so desperatly that I have to keep my jealousy in check.
Don't get me wrong, I am completely happy for them. James deserves someone as amazing as Adam, especially after all I know she has gone through. I just...sometimes I can't help but watch them and want to cry because they have what I want.
When it gets really bad, sometimes I'll even say that it isn't fair. James and Adam got together just a month after Joshua and I. So everytime it is mentioned how long they've been together, I just add a month and think: Joshua and I would have been together such-and-such amount of time. And that makes me sad.
Especially at their one year, when they went to SF together and had their little lovers-only weekend. It was the sweetest thing ever. I just had to keep my emotions in check.
Which made me realize that Joshua and I would have been together a year and two months...two days ago.
I know I'm not supposed to be thinking about him anymore. But I can't help it.
I'm gonna watch some South Park now. I haven't been able to watch any episodes in so long, so I rented one of the discs from work. Season 4, disc 1. I just grabbed one randomly. Doesn't matter. No matter what disc it is, I can guarantee there are episodes on it I missed.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I'll be working Saturday night (missing a party) and Sunday night. Fun times. Do what you gotta for a paycheck, right?
(Plus, my manager has a high-on-the-ladder connection at the Reno News & Review, and he said he'd see what he could do for me. Possibly an editing job? That would be wicked sweet.)
