Work update!
So some sad news. It turns out my new crush at work is gay. So sad. :( He's totally not overtly gay, and apparently a ton of people are crushed about it. So the word is! So now I'm back to ground zero....I want a guy!
So, work is going well. The actual work is kind of boring, but the people are nice and that totally makes it a lot better! The management is how good management is supposed to be. All the retail managers are really nice. They always ask me how I'm getting on and if I have any questions, and they're just genuinely friendly. The people I work with, for the most part, are nice and friendly. Some are super nice, some are not. There's a couple of people that aren't really friendly. Maybe they'll get more friendly, who knows. Enough people are friendly, that I'm not bothered! I went out this evening with two (nice obviously) girls from work. They're younger than me, and it makes me feel old! But they're nice. We just hung out for a bit after work. It was nice to be social! And I got invited to celebratory drinks for someone who just got promoted to a manager next week, which is nice! Especially because I've heard people talking about it, and them not really telling me, but now they have! So I'm starting to feel more part of it, and part of the "team". I understand people don't always want to welcome new people in right away, especially for this things outside of work. I totally get that, because I've been in the other situation lots of times. New people come to work where established groups are already there and they have to squeeze their way in. But it can happen, and hopefully will happen, and continue to happen to me!
I really need my paycheque though! I am so skint! It really sucks. I need to find a way to get more money. Make more money. I dunno. But something. I've been trying not to spend money, and I've been pretty successful, but this weekend I'm going to the Borough Market with a girl I used to work at Chapters with (so we're talking quite a ways back - she's here for a year of school) and I know I'll want to spend money there. So I shall take out the very last of my Canadian money and try to survive on that for as long as I possibly can. I'm hoping at least two weeks. Hopefully they won't take off a ton of taxes, and I'll get a decent pay! I am worried about my money situation though. I'm just trying not to worry about it too much.
Alright, I'm rambling, so I'll end this. Later gators!
