It is super weird going from a desk job to a job with no desk... or even chair. Moving all the time. If I am standing still at Gloria Jeans.. I shouldn't be lol. I miss my desk, but I am having a great time.
Server v. Barista- I like it better than serving, because you don't deal with the douchebags for longer than about 5min. When you are serving they can be there for hours at a time. It is also nice getting paid hourly instead of hoping your tables will give you a good tip.
I really miss my coworkers from VSU. Like, they are the biggest thing I miss about VSU. However, I am so thankful that I like the coworkers at Gloria Jeans. I think I have finally met all of them and they are all wonderful. I am not sure if they care for me though. I don't think they *dislike* me, but I am not sure if they like me either. I think there have been a few moments where they were talking about me (and/or laughing at me) when I came over... :-/ I do have confidence that they cannot be as bitchy as some of these freakin navy wives. I hope they like me, but I know I have a "different" personality sometimes. I was invited to go bowling with some of them tonight, but I think it was a halfhearted invite. It's whatever. As long as I continue to enjoy the actual job, I should be fine.
There are several moments where I just feel in the way. It really sucks. I am trying my hardest to catch on quickly so I can actually feel like I am helping out. I hate asking questions every two minutes, but I hate messing up more. Being the new guy sucksss.
I really enjoy the actual job. It is pretty fun and I LOVE working again. That unemployed, non-student thing was not working for me. It is really fun when it gets busy. Until, I mess up. :-/ Then it throws me off. Today was stressful, it was my first Saturday. There were so many moments where I just felt in the way. I am not sure if I was ready to handle a Saturday. I still feel like I don't know enough. Last night was kinda stressful too, I helped close and I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I was shoved in the back to do the dishes. At least back there I was out of the way of those who did. :-/
Overall it is hard, but fun. I am still trying to figure out if I fit in with the coworkers. Thankfully though I get to go home at the end of the night and leave all of my work in the mall. (Something that I could NOT do as an RA). I am so very thankful that I was given this opportunity. I will meet some interesting people, get out of the house, make a little money, and learn some new things.

OH! One super exciting thing about my job is one of my closest friends up here got hired! Morgan, the one I worked with at Edible Arrangements. I am like crazy excited about that. Apparently it may cause a problem with another Morgan, but idk her very well. I am just happy that I was able to help out and get Morgan a job and on top of that a job with ME! I doubt we will work together very much at first since we are both the new kids. Fun will be had when we DO work together though!
