New Job New Scenery

For days and days and days I had been miserable at my job at Borders. I absolutely LOVE books and reading and talking to others about books. The management got to be so bad that on a daily basis I was harassed and belittled and threatened by my boss and the sad part, corporate; who is supposed to be there for its employees, didn't care. Then one day my best friend Manda called and told me I needed to put in an application at Les Schwab in Placerville. I did, called and scheduled and interview and got the job all in the same two days! The only downside is that it's 40 minutes away (although I've been getting there in 30). However, I absolutely love it!

Placerville is so beautiful. The mountains are so green and it smells so fresh. I'm naturally a cold weather person. I love the coolness and I think that I would choose a mountain area over the beach any day. I think it's perfect weather if I can wear a t-shirt and jeans and this is what I experience everyday. Most days, I take walks on my lunch and visit the little shops that line the streets. I have a hunch that the whole community knows each other. That the sheriff is an older gentleman with salt and pepper hair, large brimmed hat, and a dog named Hank that rides in the back of his patrol car. The under sheriff is this goofy young guy that tries to hard and takes himself too seriously but gets the job done nonetheless. I guess what I'm saying is it's my kind of place.

I love the job itself. It's very hard right now because I'm new at it and there's so much more to learn, plus I can talk books like no body's business...but tires...yeah that's like asking me to explain why the world is round haha.
