Those close to me, which for whatever various reasons is few, you all know how rough the past 2+ years have been for me. Personal struggles and demons have haunted my very existence and I was more then willing to allow that to happen and mire in my own misery. But about 6 weeks or so ago I decided to climb out of the depths of my self imposed misery and start over. For better or worse I took a job in retail and while its trying at times, it seems to be somewhat working for me. With a job in hand, slowly my self esteem started to creep back to me and my ascent back to the "old me" was/is underway. This past Friday I decided to go out and get a drink at the local watering hole and sure enough I was back to form and having fun and yes even responsibly. After a fun and successful evening of enjoying some basketball, music, pool, and even the company of a rather attractive woman, I was all set for a hectic work week. Opening a new retail store is without a doubt a trying experience, but luckily I've done it before so I know what to expect and am doing my thing and taking care of business. (Again the "old me" is returning)
But the main jist of this post is to quickly illustrate how life is amusing, at least to me. So here goes: today was our store's Grand Opening. Normally this would be a "hell" day for retail but I got a decent night's sleep, and although I was sick most of the night I sucked it up and was prepared for my day. Now as the craziness of the day was unfolding, I kept busy and was helping customers as is the deal. But something, or should I say someone caught my eye today. A fellow co-worker who I've said hello in passing for the past few weeks was there and today I finally decided that it was time to formally introduce myself and have a pleasant chat. More details on this as they develop but lets just say that the "old me" is back and back without some of my faults when it came to the female species!
