And I Been Workin' Like A Dog

I've gotten a job.

Well, two jobs, but the second one hasn't started yet.

And I know you're dying to hear how my first one has been going.

Ha, listen to me as I drivel on as if my two followers are actually 2,000, and even then that my 2 followers actually follow.

Anyhow, I am an esteemed member of the Chesterton Feed and Garden Center, specializing in flowers, shrubs, shrubberies, shrubbage, foliage,  trees, bushes, bushy trees, mulch, dirt, and animal food.  and gravel, i forgot that.  Anyways, the good news is, if the Knights Who Say Ni show up and ask us to get some shrubberies, we've totally got it set.  Hopefully they don't ask us to cut down a tree with a herring.

 Anyhow, I dont mean to make fun of it, I enjoy it alot.  The people rock and the pay is above minimum wage for a fun job.  Beyond getting paid, I've learned something as well.  Cue the contemplative guitar chords, softly please.

I used to avoid getting a job like the plague.  I figured it'd just leave me with absolutely no time to do anything.  Well eventually all my friends got a job and I had nothing to do and all the time in the world to do it.  Thus, it was worse than having a job.  Having time but nothing to spend it on SUCKS.

So this coming week I will be receiving a whopper of a check after a nearly 12-hour shift today, among other days.  Anyhow, I realize the excellence of an hourly job.  The more I work, the more I get paid.  It is awesome.  But the job gives me something to do, and I get to work with people and make money for it.  It's pretty legit.  I realize that avoiding work was a a stupid idea.  Work is both inevitable and rewarding, and I'd be so much awesome-er if I had been working for longer.

But, you will rightly say, "Evan, what do you mean awesome-er?!  Your Awesometer is already cooler looking than the Flux Capacitor!"

Well, think awesome-er like this picture.
