Zen and the Art of Rolling Silverware

Today was the first day of my new job. I'm a host at Ruby Tuesday in Goldsboro. It was pretty okay, the shifts are nice and short to keep me from getting bored. Maybe too short. My shift today was just shy of three hours... I foresee a financial problem in the future, perhaps.

The work is exceedingly simple, just seating people, answering the phone, cleaning the bathrooms, and helping servers here and there. I'm not complaining, although I would be willing to take on some more responsibilities in exchange for greater pay. I'm still in the market for other jobs in the meantime.

I haven't posted anything about my trip to Seattle last month, so maybe now would be a good time to discuss it. I had a really fun time, spent more money than I should have, met some truly cool people, experienced some great adventures, and I even learned a thing or two about myself. Really, I did. Nothing profound, I assure you.

I have a ton of great photos from the experience too, I encourage you to visit my Facebook page and check them out. Naked smurfs, mummies, trolls, cryptogastronomy, and fictional towns in the Pacific Northwest. If you're reading this I assume you are able to find those.

As far as my Navy update is concerned, I'm pretty much ready to go. My recruiter has been pushing back my swearing-in for various reasons, but as soon as that occurs I'll have my ship date. All of my other paperwork has been completed and now it's just back to playing the waiting game. I even lost all the weight they needed me to lose. Go me. I hate that this whole process has been taking such an extremely long time, though. My first taste of working for the government, I suppose.
