My new job

I finally got a job after looking for over a month. I work in a little pizza, place although I actually haven't done anything with pizza yet. Mostly I deal with sandwiches, drinks, and cleaning. I've only worked there for a short while, but it's given me a sort of admiration for people in the service industry. Standing on your feet for 8 hours with no rest save a lunch break makes them sore. It kind of makes me wish I'd thought to look for a job answering telephones, because at least then I'd get to sit in a nice air conditioned building. But other than than that the job isn't too bad, and I really do need it. Saving up for University is tough.
I guess I kind of worry I'll lose it though. I find it hard to fit in comfortably with my co-workers, and we don't really share many common interests. Although I suppose that's to be expected considering they're all at least a few years older or younger than me. But it doesn't help that I'm socially awkward to begin with. I want to be able to join in on the conversations, but it's hard for me to be able to contribute more than a line or two. And these days, it less about what you know and more about who you know. Being able to make connections is important.
