while i was working on it, i heard two somewhat interesting statements regarding me. the first was someone happy to see the manager finally hired a "token straight guy," because every shoe store needs at least one heterosexual male to keep it diverse. huh.
the other, though, was from a hispanic girl who whispered to another coworker, "he's cute but i don't date white guys."
i hadn't really realized that the trip to the store would be so judgmental-- i figured all of that would happen during orientation and not the tax-form day. what's worse is i was recently told "you're cute but i don't like asian guys." it's funny how the bi-racial thing can kick you in the ass sometimes. but what really bothers me is that i wasn't attracted to either girl.
"good, because i don't date racist ugly girls."
it was insulting because they were denying me something before i had the chance to say i wasn't interested.
anyway, i'll be starting work soon. technically, i've already started. but i'll know my hours at that time. i'm excited for the crazy shoe-loving customers i'll meet. and i'm excited to learn how to judge people based on their feet-gear.
also, i wanted to include a picture in this post, but blogger has decided image uploads will be disabled for two hours due to maintenance. so, here is a picture that was already previously uploaded and unfortunately completely unrelated to this post.
