HOLY SHIT

Okay so there's this new restaurant opening up. Upscale, right on the riverfront. Looks super nice. I drive past it every morning on my way to work. I have really wanted to apply, but feeling no self worth, massively intimidated, etc. Today I finally womaned up and called the number. Guy answers, says oh hey we're in the office two doors down from the restaurant. Come on in and fill out an application .

So, okay, anxiety is out in force but come on, it's time to make shit happen. I went in and applied, the owner looked my app over and conducted a small pre-interview. He said that he thinks I am a very strong candidate and that they will definitely get in touch with me to conduct a more extensive interview! MOTHERFUCKIN' EXCITE. And the starting pay ain't half bad, better than where I work now, that's for sure. There is some concern about this being a startup, but I am reasonably sure it will be successful, what with all the new development happening. I really really want this to work out and if it does for it not to be another dead end, soul crushing job.

HAHA YEAH IT IS. But being told by the owner that he's very interested in me just made me kick myself for doubting myself and not applying sooner (not that this really makes a difference as the projected grand opening isn't for another three weeks, but still.) I was even assertive and told him what station I would prefer to work (saute, although I would take grill if I had to). I wasn't assertive with current job and they stuck me down in prep. :(

GO TEAM KAT. i hope that, soon, i get to see you without so many environmental stressors, because how the fuck does any skilled, intelligent person ~~believe in themselves~~ on $buttfuck/hr in a shit work environment when changing that involves constantly flinging yourself at a wall. but you ARE awesome, so <3 <3 <3

YOU <3 Idk, I guess realizing I have a year until I'm thirty, and having so many coworkers who are in their forties and up, still working these shit jobs that pay barely above minimum wage, gave me the kick in the pants I needed. I know I'm better than that, but self doubt, it is so insidious.
