Missing the Money

For the first time in my life, I hate that I am very extroverted. I love being around people 24/7 and communicating face to face, grabbing something to eat together, going shopping, etc. Because of that, this has been kind of hard for me so far. I also love going to work. I love being able to make my own money and pay for some of my own things. I love that I have so many great friends at work of all ages, which is why it sucks that I can’t see any of them for a month or even more. 

I work at Stone Canyon right now, but currently, I am not because we are only open Thursday-Friday from 4-8 and they are only scheduling “senior staff”, which basically means none of the high schoolers get scheduled. I understand this though because most of the servers and managers have to pay for a lot more things than we do and I wouldn’t want to take hours from them anyway because they have a lot more to worry about. 

I think the hardest thing for me about not being able to work is that for some reason I was always happy when I was at work. Even if I had a bad day, going there boosted my mood. There are multiple reasons for this, like getting to see my work friends, the amazing regulars that always came in and the fact that I knew I was going to make money at the end of the day. 

I am trying to make the best out of a bad situation by keeping myself busy and just keeping in touch with everyone even though we don’t get to see each other face to face.
