My Date with Destiny

Well how do you like the new look?  I have always liked this design, so I thought it would be kind of fun to change it, for a short time at least, just for the fun of it.  It's very vintage and fresh flavoured, don't you think? 

Anyway, on with life.  How has life been treating you?  My life has been a tad strange of late.  You do remember how in my earlier post, It Never Rains but it Pours, I told you all how I had a new job opportunity coming up?  Well, forgive me for neglecting to inform you, but I DID get the job at the video library, (a celebration which called for ten minutes jumping frantically on the trampoline and screaming the lyrics to 'Walking on Sunshine'), and tonight is my first shift.  And this would all have been extremely wonderful and exciting if it weren't for two little, annoying things:

1. Nightmares every night of the week about flunking my first shift in ways I'd never imagined possible, (having to walk to work and never actually getting anywhere no matter how desperately I lifted my heavy feet), plus
2. Getting the stomach bug last night and living in a state of suspense to see if I'll recover sufficiently to even go to my shift!

Well, cutting past the drama of the situation, I do believe that all will be fine for tonight, and I'm back to being excited.  I am horribly annoyed though, that I've had to miss my classes, and I wonder whether I was missed.  I suppose it doesn't matter, because I've kept the puppy doggy company, and she was pleased to have someone to snuggle with.  Anyway, wish me luck on my date with destiny!
