New Job

A lot of people don't know what it is I did for a living. In order to feed myself and keep my flat, I must work. And work I did. Basically, if I broke down what I did in the simplest form ever, I used to tell people how to spend their money. Yes, I was an investment broker of sorts. It sounds so fancy. But it was a living hell. Working with people is one thing, dealing with their money and advising them on what to do with it goes beyond terrible.

That said, all through college, I worked at a coffee shop. I kept the job on weekends and the odd evening for the shit of it. Really, I enjoyed the kids i worked with and didn't mind smelling of coffee beans all the time. Not to mention, people always seemed appreciative when you handed them the hot piping cup of caffeine. Some days, I felt almost godly.

Well, as it turns out, I was ranting to my boss at the coffee shop about how soul sucking the investment banking scheme was and she insisted I apply at this tiny, hole in the wall pub near the coffee shop who was looking for a hostess with the mostest. As it turns out, she dated the bloke who owned the joint and put in a good word.

Then I got to thinking, perhaps this is what social networking is all about. Connections and such. I have a long way to go before I figure out this internet business.

I make less money waiting tables, but I'm a lot happier.

Sometimes you have to make a change, even if it means cutting back and not having the fancy bottle of wine and boxing it instead.

Cheers to the new job!
