I asked one of my bosses today how I'm doing overall, and he gave an answer that... well, my dad would give. "You're actually doing just fine. Just keep plugging away."
Between that answer and the fact they included me in a group photo for the entire shop (which consists of a grand total of nine people, including me) when I've only been there a grand total of a month and a half as of tomorrow, it's looking like this job is going to be a keeper. You know the phrase, "do something you enjoy, and you'll never work a day in your life?"
I'm making $9 an hour, and I'm loving the FUCK out of what I'm doing.
