Damn A Day That I Forgot.

I had my APRs (Annual Performance Review) at work today, and it was a complete 360 from last years. I knew I’ve been doing good at work, but I didn’t think I was exceeding expectations. My manager wants me to take more leadership roles at work, and in a way this is really exciting for me. For once I can finally see myself moving up with the company. Before I even got my APRs I was completely anxious, and almost felt like I was going to throw up. I made a big deal about this because this can either make or break you at Nordstrom. I’m really happy with work for once, I can feel good things coming.

Last night I went over to Carolyn and Christine’s house for their weekly bonfire. It’s always really nice to hangout with older friends. This guy Jesus that was there didn’t even recognize me, I thought it was hilarious when he said “Dude I didn’t even recognize you, you lose like 40 pounds or some shit!.” I’m glad people can see the difference, however I have much more to do. For once, I feel like re-connecting with these people again, I’ve distanced myself because I felt like I couldn’t trust them anymore with what happened with me at the end of 2006, but I’m going to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and give them another chance. It’s going to be hard, but It’ll be manageable. 

I also loved that Ashliey and Shirley said I looked great, the last time that I saw them was when I exploded and went crazy on them at Knotts. I’ve missed them, and I’m glad that we’re friends again. I’ve missed these people all along.

Getting rid of my farmer tan is something that I need to work on next.
