Living Life On A $1.96

hmm... It's been a long time. Quite a bit has happened since I last wrote, but if anyone reading this knows me, they know I can't remember shit past the last 15 minutes. I woke up at 10:30 late again, kinda makes me angry at myself and I'm reminded that I've been sleeping in a lot and not getting done the things I had planned to do. Getting a job so quickly through me off, especially because the first to weeks it was like working full time, and now I'm working parttime. Now, I have to do the things I talked about doing and get involved in the stuff I planned to do. Not sleep in till 10:30 would be one thing to do. I still wake up at 6:30 like I did in school, but I just roll over and go back to sleep.

I like my job, the people are nice, but I hate scheduling and dealing with have my life somewhat planned for me. What I enjoy most is talking with the customers. I have skills in schmoozing customers, getting them to buy things they wouldn't think of buying. I don't feel that bad about it since I work in a christian bookstore, but I bet if I worked at sears or in the mall I'd hate myself for using that ability. I think I've been able to help a few people that came in, like the woman that came in the other day and asked me if we had a pastor's journal, when I couldn't find a pastor's journal we found her The Christian Notetakers Journal then she asked, "Is a Pastor a Christian" From that point on I led her to some other books that explained what a christian is.

Another woman came in looking for books to help a teenage boy who is considering suicide, since I've come across issues such as this I was helpful in her search and comforted her a little. But all in all I'm still schmoozing customers, using them. I'm good at it, but I'm always asking myself is it right for me to do so.
