Listening to: Love Scream Party by SuG
Mood: Excited
Yesterday I was suppose to write a blog entry about work but poor Katie texted me around 11:00 PM saying that she is locked out of her house, and the keys to her car were inside the house. I went to pick her up instead of writing. And she ended up staying the night as well, not that I minded at all. She's my best friend and I would do anything for her.
Anyway, back to the main topic of the blog entry. I had to work last night for a concert by an old band known as The Moody Blues. They were about a 60-70s band, or a Hippie band, to make a more visual understand of what type of band they are. Not that I minded the music, I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty groovy. (I guess I really am a Hippie like everyone calls me...). But only three of the original band members were there, and four other members that were obviously younger.
Honestly though, I find it nice that the band is still surviving after about forty years (possibly more), still finding new, younger people that can keep this type of music going in this generation.
But half way through the concert I found myself talking to my coworker about music. She was asking what type of music did the average teenager listen to now a days (she is much older than me, and older than my parents). I laughed at that, telling her I didn't listen to the normal stuff a teenager does (well... I guess I should refer to myself an adult now since I am eighteen... but it still has that teen in it!!). I listen to a lot of foreign music, mainly JRock, JPop, and a lot of Celtic/Irish type of music like Enya.
But I told her I was going to see An Cafe in a few weeks, and just thinking about got me really excited and riled up. She actually laughed at me, and pointed out my grin, she could easily tell that I was really excited. After that I couldn't stop thinking about the concert, even doing my job I kept thinking 'This is what the usher is going to do to me when I go to the House of Blues.' I also made a mental note to be really nice to the HoB ushers and thank them, since I understand what's going through their minds with this type of stuff. The smallest thank you, or just being polite to them helps them out a lot and makes their night way easier.
At the end of the night, out of nowhere I decided to work on my posture. I was in charge of the front doors, while people are leaving I'm suppose to thank them and wish them a good night. Before the very end of the concert I put my feet together, stood up straight, shoulders slightly back and placed my two hands neatly in front of me. Surprisingly I was able to hold the stance for a good fifteen, twenty minutes of standing there. I was really happy about that.
Even when we were walking back to the employees only area, George, one of the higher guys in charge told me I did very well tonight and thanked me. He said a lot of people made good comments so I was extremely proud. Even if it wasn't just me that got the comments, I'm very proud to be working with these people.
Though when I was leaving, I did feel my heart string being pulled. That was possibly my last night working with all of them. My job is based on events and with hockey season finally over the events are going to be way slow. And these next two months, every weekend is completely booked for me with spending time with my friends since a lot of us are leaving during the summer or will be. A large amount of my friends are joining the military (mainly the navy branch) and some people like me will be doing college summer programs or will just be plain gone. There are basically no events during the summer at my work, and I won't be around when Hockey season picks up in the fall since I'll be in college. So the last time I'll probably see my coworkers again is when I graduate since graduation will be at my work.
The more I think about it... the sadder I'm getting. :/
I better wrap this up... my entries are always so long. And I need to start planning on a way to get Tati back for an earlier incident. Be prepared Tati!!! (Cause I know you're reading this haha)
