Things have been going well, for the most part.
I have been exercising about 5-6 times a week with my mom, which is good for both of us. I have been eating better which is good for me. I started my second job at starbucks, I have had two shifts and they both went alright.
Last week I had an interview with a company called Ambius, for a Plant care specialist position. In all honesty I had forgotten I had even applied for the job , and when I agreed to the interview I wasn't actually sure what I was agreeing to...
but it went well, the position seemed interesting, and I was told I would hear back early this week, but I actually heard back three days after my interview, on the Friday, while I was at my other job. I was informed that he wanted to meet with me again on Monday and talk with me more about the position and such.
So Today is Monday, I had my second interview with Mike at Ambius this morning at 9am. I arrived only 15 minutes early due to traffic, I waited in my car until a slightly more appropriate time to go in, and I chose 8:55. I chatted with Mike and it was basically decided that they wanted to hire me on full time and just need to know how we can start training since I do currently have two other jobs. So far it has been decided that I will come in on Thursday to fill out paper work and we will go from there. I was and am excited, especially since I can now give my notice at my soul sucking job :)
Now comes the one bad thing.
I took my brother to the ferry terminal when I got back from my interview so he could go and pick up a car from my late Uncles wife, and on the way back, for the first time in my life I got a ticket.... and it was really upsetting. I have nothing on my record, but no warning, no nothing and while I was pulled over people sped by me, much faster than I would have been going, they made my car shake. I almost cried upon receiving the ticket, but kept it together until I was back on my way back home, then I cried, got really sad, and basically allowed the ticket to ruin my day... I paid it off on my way home... rather reluctantly, and now I only hope it wont affect the job I just got, as I will be driving a company vehicle......
I feel like I failed, I can no longer say that I have never gotten a ticket :( I'm just like everyone else, not only that, I thought I had little money before...but now I really have little money and I have another week and a half to go before I get paid
I'm upset, and I'm more upset about the fact that i am allowing this one thing to ruin my day, I got a job today, I have a girls night tonight, I should be happy, but instead I'm sad and upset about the fact that I got a ticket and that I am letting it have such a strong influence on how I am feeling. I'm not really excited anymore, I dont want to do anything, even though I have things to do... I just want to mope because now I am like most other drivers, I feel defeated, and sad
I have no Lesson, I guess it should be Don't let one bad thing ruin a good day.... but I let it happen
