I Work In a Mall.

Yes, oh yes, do I ever work in a mall. I spent how many years of my life avoiding working in malls like the plague? Yea. 23. The irony is unnerving.

But, it's a really nice, clean, upscale mall. Not that it's any consolation, but at least we get to listen to pretty much anything we want. We listened to Basement Jaxx all morning, so I was happy. My coworkers today were Sean and Arthur. Sean is a hell of a cool guy, who I hope to hang out with more before he leaves in a month. He knows Greg, incidentally, and Arthur ran into my roommate Ash at the station today on the way to work, and lives with Travis Flynn, who I went to high school with. This world is getting smaller by the second.

I was only scheduled for 6 lessons today when I arrived, so I was looking forward to standing outside and handing out tissues to passersby, but unfortunately I wound up teaching lessons in all 8 spots. I taught 6 one on one lessons, yeeefreakinhaw. Most of my lessons were level 7s as well, so that was even better. There are a lot of new people there, being a newer branch, and I, on my first day on my own, taught someone's first official lesson at Nova. What are the odds? At least she'll never know my inexperience.

All my lessons went well today. I had a really good time. If I stay there, and don't get stuck doing kids stuff all the time, which I know I will, being in a mall and all, I am going to have a lot of fun. If this is in any way representative of the days I have ahead of me, this is going ot be a fun job.

Starting tomorrow though, I become a pinball. I have 4 lessons at Moraju, then I have to go to Kashiwa for the remainder of my day, and I have much the like for the rest of the week, and next. I imagine it's because the bosses don't come out to Moraju much at all, and they want to observe me teaching. So I am going to have a lot of expensible travel, and a lot of free blocks due to it. Not so bad, I don't really mind, except for the busses, which are weird. I got to my branch alright today, no problem, aside from getting to work over an hour early thanks to getting there ok the first try. If the lessons which are observed go as well as the lessons I taught today, then I should be fine.

Things are going well, I will keep my fingers crossed that continues.
