Bouncing back and forth.

A month ago, I was moving from Minneapolis to Rochester to work at a store in which a family member is involved. The warning was the other partner was hard to work with and would grind you down if you let him.

He is a micromanager. He is an asshole. He is a bikeshedder.

In a month, he ground me down enough for me to explode at him. Merchandise was broken. I almost spent the night sleeping outside in 10°F weather.

Now I’m back in Minneapolis looking for a job to love, in which I at least have the freedom to sell the way I like to sell. To sharpen my skills and do what I love — working. Even dishwashing is a good job if you like to have people say “these are the cleanest dishes I’ve seen at a restaurant.” That’s what I want.

Sad part is, I saw what Rochester needs and wants and I think I would have been able to provide it, in time. Now I’m afraid I won’t ever have the chance.

Si la vida te da limones, se los avientas de regreso hasta que te dé las naranjas que le pediste.

Now I have a fork in the road.

Do I remain where I have been so far? Safe and warm, but with slim-to-none possibilities of employment other than the usual allotment to those of my kind?

Or do I throw myself headlong into the unknown? I’d have support, but the unknown is precisely that — unknown.

There is an inkling to the far west, in the city by the bay…

In which reddit teaches you of confidence

Gaining confidence is catch 22; you’re not confident because good stuff doesn’t happen to you, and good stuff doesn’t happen to you because you’re not confident.

So here’s the key: Pretend to be confident, act confident even when you don’t feel it. Don’t be a scumbag but hold your head up high. Force yourself to talk to people even when you’d rather not. Pretty soon all that good stuff that those confident guys get – that’s coming your way. That will boost your esteem and make you more confident in yourself naturally; suddenly you don’t have to pretend anymore.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

It’s really hard to keep momentum going when you really don’t know what is going to happen next.

Right now I expected to at least have rent covered for the next month, but that is not going to happen. As it is right now, I can only aspire to a minimum wage job that will let me cover expenses, but no more than that.
