hectic
i've had an eventful couple of days, and i'm not expecting today to be any more calm.
Sunday we went to look at a car for me to buy. the first. i'm not going to buy it, because there was a few things wrong with it, and had too high km's, but it was a good first step.
Friday i had my first driving lesson. professional one. it was okay. the car it a flighty little thing, very responsive. a bit different than the Camry. he said i was doing well, and we will talk about booking me in for my test.
monday at work sucked. the morning was fine, but the afternoon i managed to burst into tears in front of a whole bunch of customers. the guy who has been giving me trouble, Dan, was very rude to me in front of a whole bunch of customers when i asked him a simple question. now, i don't care about the fact he doesn't like me. but i don't like him being rude to me, particulary in front of customers. i've been trying to be polite and to get along with him, cause, hey, we have to work together. but he is everything i dislike about people, in one selfish childish egotistical person.
my manager (really great guy), talked to me about it, then apparently he talked to dan. apparently Bec, friend at work, went off at him too.
so i'm a bit apprehensive about today.
yesterday was my birthday (thank you for all those who wished me a good one. i admit i got a little upset when a few people who i would have liked to hear from, simply didn't, but that doesn't dampen the happiness from the rest of you).
it was a good day. work was actually enjoyable. we are training up a new girl who is really nice, and the people i was working with are excellent.
and i got flowers! *beam*!!!
flowers make me smile...
went out for a wonderful dinner with Steve, and thoroughly enjoyed my evening... and getting dressed up too. =).
so, i am 20 now. no longer a teen, but not yet an adult. i don't feel any age. i have never thought of myself in terms of numbers. i will continue to grow and mature, to be closer to Him, and to be less selfish. these are my wishes and wants for the next year. they are my wishes and wants for every day, every minute.
less of me, more of Him through me.
Well Sam, sorry for missing your birthday. Hope you had a good one and that things look up for today. Thinking of you.
I apologise for not wishing you happy birthday. By the time I was reminded it was birthday, it was already a day or so after, and I thought it'd be kinda weird sending a bday txt message two days after it already happened. So happy belated birthday anyway. =]
How are you doing your driving by the way, without (professional) lessons and with the logbook?
