whoosh!!!

what an overwhelming day!!

i recently started my very first job on july 7th. today i got my second paycheck and it is the most money i have ever owned in my entire life!!! well, owned for myself alone, money i earned, not gifts from relatives. this money is truly mine!! i nearly spent my entire lunch break staring at the sum. mind you, its not a lot to anyone of consequence, but it is a lot to me!! and i earned it!!! and its all mine!!!!!!

then just before i was to get off work today, i encountered a customer. i helped them as best as i could and they ended up buying 3,000 dollars worth of merchandise!!! such a big sale for me!! i won't get commission for it, but its still worth a lot. and its good to prove my worth since i'm new and untried. and the customer was pleased with my patience and gave me a 20 dollar tip in addition. i hope all goes well with the followup on that transaction.

and then, i get home check my email and find that today is my one year anniversary of posting at Good Discussion on the Harry Potter boards. this too might not mean anything to anyone of consequence, but its like a rush of feel-good sweetness. a natural high if you will, and better, because it reminds me of all the hard-work and friends i have done and met.

a rather agreeable day to say the least.
