In ten hours I start my new job. I’ll just work in another thrift store so I don’t think it will be very different from my old job. I can’t say I look forward to it.

I really don’t like the thought of being the new girl. The one who knows the place the least.  At my old job I had pretty much free hands and could change a lot of stuff without even asking my bosses. I won’t have that freedom in this store. Obviously everyone would hate me if I as the new girl came with all these opinions of how the store should be ran and organized. You simply don’t do that when you’re new. I think it’s probably one of my flaws, the fact that I want everything to be done my way. I don’t like others telling me how to do things but obviously that’s how the world works. I’ve just been very lucky having all that freedom at my old job. I don’t think it’s common. Espescially not when you’re young.

This is why I want to work alone. One day I will be a freelance web designer with my own company and be my own boss. That’s the plan and step one of the plan is going to college in january. It’s just two distance education classes of 7.5 högskolepoäng (high school points) each but it’s a good start. For the first time in my life I’ll do something I’ve actually chosen myself. I haven’t really chosen my jobs because even though i liked my last two jobs they were just something I did for a while, not something I’ve dreamed about doing.

I think many people start working after high school thinking they’ll only work for a while but then they get comfortable and never go back to school. I’m glad I’m finally taking the leap away from that because it’s too easy to postpone your grand plans.

But school is in january. For the next four months I’ll continue working as a sales clerk.
