New (temporary) employment!

Yesterday, I started on my first day at my new job. I've never really worked in this industry before, so I have lots to learn and lots more mistakes to make. I think one of the hardest things about this new job is the fact that I have to stand on my feet for most of the day.

Give up? Don't know where I'm working? Drum roll please...

I'm working behind the counter at Melange Magique (for those who don't know, Melange is a local (Montreal) pagan shop). I've had many friends work there and I've been associated with the shop for about 5 years now since I started volunteering at the Montreal Pagan Resource Centre.

It's a temporary position, but I'll be there every day for the next two weeks. I've never worked in retail before (or worked a cash register), so it's a real challenge. I've always had ideas of opening my own cafe someday, so working in a retail shop will give me some idea of what this type of business is like.

It's also putting a real dent in my days, where I usually spend that time doing research and company development for Documentia, so it'll mean later nights as I spend time catching up.

Come visit me if you have a chance!
