I pretty much sleep in all the time. It all started a few years ago when I had to go to school and work almost full time. I became a night owl and that’s how it’s been ever since. I also stay up a little longer now because I feel like it’s the only time during the day that I have time to myself. During the day, it’s all about Jackson until Peter comes home to take care of him. When they’re both asleep, I stay up to do homework and watch a few episodes of my currently following TV show, Pretty Little Liars. Everyone has been telling me to try and sleep earlier but it’s been hard trying to sleep. I drink a glass of icy cold milk at night before bed and read a few chapters before nodding off. By the way, I can’t stand warmed milk. I just hate the way it makes your breath smell but for some reason, cold milk does not.

I woke up around eight today and quietly rolled out of bed to warm up a bottle of milk for Jackson. When he wakes up, he gets pretty fussy after having slept for seven to eight hours straight. Returning to bed with the bottle, I leave it on the nightstand and fall back asleep. About thirty minutes later, Jackson whines and I hand him a bottle and once again, fall back asleep. I know when he finishes it, he does too since it’s still so early. We nap for a few more hours until I wake up at 11 AM and I fetch another bottle for him when he wakes up after twelve. Usually, this is the time I wake up and check my emails, Facebook, Twitter, etc. for the first time of the day.

But, this is the day I get a call from the district manager of Yogli Mogli.

I can’t say I was expecting this at all, but maybe my take no shit, give no shit attitude paid off. Usually people really don’t call back and I just wander around waiting like an idiot. She offered me to start off part-time there and see how I did in the next two weeks. I had applied for shift leader and she was worried about giving me the position and having to take it away if things didn’t work out so therefore, we decided on the trial first. Other than VOX, I haven’t had much of managerial experience but like I told her yesterday during my interview, that if there is room for growth then I don’t mind working my way up. I’ve never been handed a free lunch in my life and I don’t expect to get one anytime soon. I’ll mostly be closing if I take the job, but that’s alright. I’m far superior at opening though but I have more experience with closing.

I think commute is longer than I’d like it to be but I’ve seen other people do worse so who am I to complain? It would be minimum wage but it isn’t exactly retail either. If I do go back into retail, at least I know I’ll start where I left off which is a pretty nice chunk of change.

I haven’t really accepted yet, but she’s going to give me a call either later tonight or tomorrow to figure everything out, training schedules and whatnot.

There is no problem trying it out. The pay is standard and our finances seem in good health, but hey, I don’t mind pocket change for me and my family. Whatever I can do to make my family happy is fine with me.
