Happy day after Valentines Day! The two ladies in my life and I had a nice night at the Miss Portland Diner. Dessert was very yummy!
I'm on my last week of work at Butts-a-Million which btw is the worst retailer I've ever worked for. Don't ever go to work there! I won't even go shop there after I'm gone! I have mixed feelings about my next job as it totally not cup of tea. Again, lots of gifts crap people just don't really need but the pay is much better than BAM. I am intrigued that it is such a small company. Without a doubt that will have its upsides and downsides but I think it could be cool. One downside is that I'll be traveling for training for the next 8 weeks. Not cool. I'm not comfortable leaving my family for that length of time but what choice do I have. I do need to talk to the new boss about the travel reimbursement. $25 a day ain't gonna cut it. I do also have a networking call with LL Bean this morning at 11. I don't expect anything to come from it right now but at some point down the road it would be nice.
However at 9 this morning I take another teeny tiny step towards independence. I'm talking to the couple that run Bite Into Maine. They are a super cool food trailer that parks out at the Headlight. I'm eager to get their take on what it's like running a food truck, what it costs for start up and what they do in the off season. I mean other than travel. I follow them on twitter and they are all over the place.
Life is getting better. I don't feel so trapped and I'm choosing to make better choices about my reactions to things. I was talking to a friend at work and I told her I've noticed I've become a serious complainer since coming to work at BAM and I don't like it. I don't want to start the new job being a victim. So I'm not going to. I'm choosing to stop complaining about BAM for my last week and just focus on my future, whatever it may bring.
