Excited and nervous

So I know that this opportunity with British Airways is one that I'm perfectly suited for, and I am confident that I will thrive and do well there. But there's a part of me that's also really nervous about it too. I guess it's just that I know this is a really wonderful chance for me and I'm a little nervous that somehow I'm going to mess it up. I'm not concerned in a big or rational way, but rather in the way that's unfounded but exists because of the chance that I now stand at the threshold of.

This is the first job that I've ever really considered to be a real opportunity. Every other job that I've had has always been one that allowed me to just bide my time. When I waited tables it was because it was easy, I was good at it, and I made good money doing so. When I worked at the shop and at Sears they were both just jobs of necessity, and ones that afforded me the ability to live a lifestyle that was OK by me. But this opportunity with BA is just that: a great opportunity. I see it as something that I can work hard towards and through diligence, patience and time parlay it into a career opportunity. Needless to say I'm pretty on edge about it all.

Today I got an email from the broad that I first spoke with informing me of what to bring with me to orientation and letting me know the details of it. I need a ten year work history (with no gaps) and a five year residence history, along with the usual IDs. Pretty crazy stuff, but I imagine that post 9/11 and with a big company such as BA that it's rather standard. It was just a little strange taking a walk down memory lane for all those years!

The rest of my day has been great! I went to the library and got my glasses back! Someone turned them in. I would imagine that what happened was that whomever swiped them in the first place, upon noticing both that they are of no value and have a quite heavy prescription, just turned them in rather than gainking them. I think this as I SCOURED the only place I was in the library and to no avail. But all's well that ends well eh!

I also get to pick up my first check from this blogging stuff I've been doing. $200 here I come. With the shifts that I have picked up over the next two weeks I'll make almost my whole rent, and it's only the 2nd!!

Well, that's all for tonight. I'm going to try and do a little bit of work before I go to sleep. I hope that you had a wonderful day as I had today mi amore, and though it is still more than a month away I am so stoked to see you.

One last thing... If you get the chance you should listen to the song above if you already haven't. I think it's absolutely killer and really helps define the place where I'm at in my life.

Until my next dream bonita...
