I just wanted to say that today, I'm going to work at the Ascadian city market I was talking about, at Sky Cupcake and Coffee. It's a coffee shop next to the city market in Ascadia, lifted up twelve street-levels high in the sky, serviced by blue-sky elevators (and stairs for the athletic, A.K.A. los locos).

Because the shop and market are set up on the twelfth level with a class B hovercraft system by Tristian Mechanics Inc., we attract clients from Tetra Company and the district palace here in Ascadia. In contrast, a store using a lower level hovercraft system like Hovercraft Speed! Co. or LockFloat (tm) wouldn't attract high-end customers because of the accident associated with those systems last year. Of course, those companies have reinforced their system's lift quality, but it has made a difference for our clientele regardless. That means I have to be up to professional game level as an employee at Sky Cupcake and Coffee!

I'm scared, because I've never held a full-time OR part-time job before. Can you believe that? At my age?

(I'm.......... um........

I'm 25......)

I like to blame it on my upbringing, but I don't know if it's appropriate. After all, I had a pretty great upbringing, a comfortable childhood, and loving parents. I wouldn't say that happens to everybody.

The requirement my family has for me in pursuing a worldly career out here in the "wild" (i.e. the normal world, where there are cities, and people who don't go to my church, and, you know, the grouchy people!) is quite an undertaking for me. However, I think I'm starting to realize why it's mandatory.

See, there are homeless people here. There are grouchy people. At work, they expect you to be on time. Responsible. Dependable. You have to wear what you're told to wear, and you have to quit sneezing (I do that a lot) and be polite, and kind, and give great customer service!

It helps to be non-argumentative, too. I've just noticed  this. Yesterday, my new boss disagreed with me whether or not she was the one who hung up, or if it was I. I really can't know for sure whether it was me or not, but now I realize, I should have apologized! But instead, I argued with her. Isn't that terrible?!

Don't argue with you new boss. That is so not smart.

I think I have a problem with authority. I'm going to get over it now! A ha ha ha....

My computer time is up! I have to go now. Thanks for reading about my adventures in Arcadia! I will tell you more next time. Bye bye!
