Man I hate working.

I think it’s mostly the whole social scene there. I’m not on the a-list of personalities at Shop Rite so Im given a smile and a “hi” and its back to business. I do have good friends there, though. Eric, Bill, and Amy are people I can really talk to w/out having to feel the need to prove who I am…to an extent. Mostly when I talk to people, I like to give them the parts of my personality that I think they’ll like about me. I don’t necessarily tell them everything, just what I think they want to hear. I think that’s the best way to go. This way, I look good and they are semi-interested. But there’s a problem. Im not that interesting. I don’t have the ability to switch topics and have some kind of anecdote about every little thing we talk about.

I love to listen to other people. Especially when they’re telling me about their personal problems. It shows they’re human and can confide in me. It makes me feel kinda important. Like when Paul was asking me for advice with Amy (#2). He was really hanging on every word I gave him. I told him exactly how I felt and I hoped it helped him. But back to Shop Rite…
