I honestly thought I was done meeting shitty people who deceive and hurt me for the fun of it

Thursday, April 07, 2016 - [work [retail! nothing big :c]]
It's weird writing the exact same blogpost twice hmm, this shall be more .. detailed.
I've recently acquired a full-time retail job at Victoria's Basement at Alexandria should anyone wanna visit me and be a difficult customer XD The shop is massive and it's taking me awhile to recognize the millions of products and their qualities and where they're arranged.
While the work is simple, it involves almost 8hours of physical work every day, I guess its really not like a typical retail store. Every day I find myself restocking shelves, re-arranging displays, unpacking lots of boxes and re-pricing items. I barely see customers, let alone talk to them and serve them, not that the store is empty, I'm just otherwise engaged.
The people are nice, I've met some interesting people from everywhere really, Canada, Estonia, Serbia, Nepal mmm, and unlike being one of the oldest among Marty's friends, I'm actually the youngest at work and the age gap is quite significant too. I wonder what my co-workers think of the job. For me, its basically just to occupy myself and be self-sufficient. It's not the kind of satisfying job where you learn and grow as a person. I mean yeah, I learn stuff, and I really love furniture and kitchenware and household stuff, but I would be far happier in a .. challenging and fast-paced work environment. ^-^ I guess I'm not the only one sort of "lost" in life because my co-workers are uni grads too, and some took the more specialized courses like Biomedical Science, and yet here they are, working in retail too. [I know what I want to do, I just can't seem to get there, yet]
After I gather about 6months of writing for Informa I guess I'll attempt to get a job as a copywriter and stop retail. For now, I shall make the best of it [:
This morning, on my day off, it's funny I should receive breakfast in bed. Not really, it was made for me and I was carried from bed to dining table. Still counts :p Every day, he does something that makes me feel so grateful that I've met him. In a really short two months [that's today!] he's been very kind and shown me uhh.. a different 'genre' of people I guess. The kind of person he is and the people he surrounds himself with is far more interesting and .. hmm stimulating? then the people I've been with all my life. It's hard to explain but I feel more alive and more .. mm .. I don't know it's just satisfying.
I feel slightly bad at times too because Marty is sometimes too nice to me. I can't complain, it's great. It's actually wonderful, so wonderful to feel wanted by someone, while he's naturally always happy, when he's with me he is unnaturally happy :x He doesn't get bored (at this point I would usually say 'yet' but he insists he never will) He's always happy to do something for me. I feel bad because I feel I've exhausted my energy of my past relationships and I'm honestly tired of trying, and it's feels really really reaaallly nice that someone's so nice to me for a change. I thought my lack of affection and effort would put him off but it doesn't seem to. I suppose I can stop being cautious and give more and guiltlessly receive.
Okiedokie, I have a big day ahead for my day off, gotta go!~
