Comfortable Red Sweatpants

Am moving out…moving down to the South, Southeast Calgary that is. Starting Monday (or whatever day I start there next week), I will be working at the Riverbend location. This will be the 3rd store I’ve been working at since moving here in Calgary in 2004. To be honest, am looking forward to the change. I think this move will jolt me out of my zombie-like existence that I’ve been on for the last couple of months. Funny, I woke up today and was just in a weird mood. I silently asked to be grateful for something, anything. And true enough, I got to work and this weird vibe I was in followed me and no two hours later, Ty came in and talked to me and delivered the news that I have been half dreading and half anticipating for the past 4 days. Then after the chat with Ty, comes in the driving instructor that I wanted to get a hold of. Goodness…

I worked at Falconridge for a year and 14 days and I have to say, despite the drama and the headaches, I enjoyed myself there. I will, more than anything, miss the people there. I will surely miss my "boyfriend/girlfriend" Michelle and her mood swings and her odd way of watching my back. Despite her odd mood shifts, she did mean well. I will miss Mother Darshan who also kept an eye out for me. LINDDDAAAA! Maaan, I will miss Linda. She kept me from going insane. Add to the fact that I can always count on her for anything, be it a hearty laugh to get me out of my dark moods or just a shoulder to cry on when I get all pouty. Maan, add the fact that I won’t have any free Cinnzeo anymore! Crikey! Then there’s the swings and all their drama and crazy, slightly wicked, slightly hilarious and perverted ways.  Of course, not to forget, Augusto. He made me feel welcome at Falconridge and made me feel like I meant something to what’s going on in the store, which was awesome. Looking back to when I first moved stores, this move is harder for me. I actually liked learning and working at Falconridge despite my many protests at times. Sigh.

Well, I just hope for my part, this will be a fruitful move and that I can actually do something of value in Riverbend. I am hoping that am not way over my head with this one and that I can finally rise up to what I think I can accomplish. Other than, I just figured moving down South will finally force me to really push the whole driving thing. Am crossing my fingers indeed…

As for other things, finally decided to use my Best Buy gift certificate that I got as a a "Thank You" for welcoming Cindy Klassen last March and bought myself CD’s. I was in a shopping mood anyways too, so I picked up the 3 new ones: Live, Rascal Flatts (don’t go laughing, Anthony Ian Fajardo!) and P!nk. I have been wanting the Rascal Flatts CD and I figured it’s about time I got it since am not technically buying it.

Am just really hoping that I did the right thing. I always go by what the 10-piece Nugget box say, "Change is good." Am really hoping it is…damn it! It will be.
