First entry! Goals and 90 Day Review!
Jan. 17th, 2013 09:00 pmIf you came here from my Livejournal, it's nice to see you again!
... Oh wait, I can't see you.
Either way.
This is a new chapter in my life. Or at least, I hope it will. In a couple of days, I'll be getting a call from McDonalds - my second job - and hopefully I will do well as a fast-food slave. I don't enjoy the thought of having such a job, but beggars can't be choosers. If all goes well, I will find my way out on my own. Then I won't have to rely on anyone anymore.
I do have some specific goals in mind. One such is learning to play the guitar. It's said if you play the guitar for a year, you can play for the rest of your life. I've got to try and get something done.
My other goal is to get a car. I can legally drive - and could for a long time. But I don't own a car. So, my first major goal is to save enough money to buy a car.
I've also got to pay off my laptop, which I want to hopefully do in six months. I'm going to try and get credit as well. That's probably the first thing I need to do.
After that, I've got to find a way out. There's plenty of apartments, but the fact of the matter is I can't legally play an electric guitar in most apartments. No, I need a house I can rent. That's going to take credit - good credit in fact. If I have to live in an apartment for a lease period until I can move into a house, that's just how it has to be. But I'll need credit to get into an apartment too. So, I need to start now.
So it goes.
Actually, this morning I got my 90 day review from Target! I scored average or very high and met all expectations. I'm very excited about that. I was right, though - they REALLY pay attention to their employees. The only thing my team leader really stressed was that I have to start getting more involved with my co-workers. As it is I'm pretty shy and quiet, while they are loud, boisterous, and at times volatile. I've got to join in on the fun, and that's not an easy thing for me.
But it will help me build relationships with my co-workers, and that's definitely important.
