I love my job

I got one of the best compliments today from a coworker while I was cashiering. She said, "You're really nice. You're really good at your job."

It was a great compliment to me, and I accepted it with a thanks because she's right. I love my job and I think I'm good at it. That's an incredible feeling. Feeling at home where I work, feeling like I have a place where I belong and am doing something I'm good at, something I care about - that feeling is irreplaceable.

I'm going to work overtime and make extra money. Everything in my life is going so well, socially and work related. Academically is still coming along, and I feel like I've been reading more - not just more philosophy, but more overall. Working at McKay's exposes me to so many books, music, movies, culture - the opportunities to get interested in things are endless.

I like books on tape now. That's pretty new for me. I read fiction even when I don't have the time for it, and it's lovely.
