Ally's first day!

~Written May 12~

Today was my first real day with my faux job. I still think this its completely ridiculous. I still can’t believe I actually got a job with the company I’ve been using as an alibi for the last six months. This is not a big company. It’s like a staff of five, and I actually got in! For the first half of my day I was totally thinking who much the whole thing is a joke. Frankly, I didn’t like returning to the real world. It was a bit of an adjustment, not owning my own time. But the funny thing is, I knew I can't complain to any of my friends because even this real job is a joke. It's like I'm doing volunteer work, and what better cause than helping really wealthy people. I just try not to think of how much money I’m losing while doing it. I had to pass up two calls while working. The job is a concierge job. For my first half of the day (started at 9) we went to three different grocery stores, then had an orientation, the went to this house and made a fruit platter. That was 7 hours at $15/hr. Ha ha ha. I just try not to think of how much money I’m not making. As the day progressed I realised that the Powers That Be must really fucking love me. Seriously. Maybe it was that Mexican God I fucked on vacation that got me all this good Karma. My boss knows about my job and she's cool with it. Like not just cool with it but when my real job called she said I could go if I needed too. I can choose my own hours. I can work from home.  She’s going to get me a cell phone. The actual job is right up my alley. And if I do have to go into the office, it’s a bike ride away. And yes, Andrea is a bit picky (ok, super picky) which made me nervous at first (I don’t like micro-managers… really though, does anyone?), but the more I get to know her the more I realise our OCD's are exactly the same. I really think we are going to do well together. And if it doesn't work out, I will hang around long enough to collect the stories for my parents. All in all it was a really good day. I go to work tomorrow at 1 for a half day. Tough life I have. Sigh.
