Start Me Up

01/29/2005
I get the impression that my Dept. Head wants me to show some independent thought, self-starting my work activities, as opposed to waiting to be told what to do. My hesitation has been based on my desire to get a feel for his routines of opening, prioritizing the production, and stocking, as well as prep. I also get the impression that I will have to jump in and do whatever seems needful, making the necessary mistakes, in order to comprehend a kind of order of events. While I served more customers today, I still felt like a bystander. Tomorrow will be a bit more productive, I should think.
Speaking of writing a novel ... my apron was lifted while I was away. That's twice that items of mine have walked away, since my arrival in Southern California. Let's me know that security is not yet secure. I take the lesson. I shall continue to accumulate ideas, and structurize the outline. The contents and dialog will await the privacy of my own household. I seek my open door.
