I wasn't nervous when I went for the "interview." I say "interview" because it was essentially me going in, and him telling me about the job and the details, and asking if I was interested. I sort of wanted to say "I'm here, aren't I?" but I didn't, because that would be unprofessional.
I knew I was getting the job. There was no getting around it. It was MINE.
I'm so bloody nervous and hesitant to go in for my first day. This has been a dream of mine for so long that I'm fighting with my expectations, just to maintain some semblance of sanity. I've had so much stuff to do this morning, and haven't been very productive at any of it because I'm all jittery. I don't think it would have been so bad if I had started this morning instead of in the afternoon. Argh.
Time to make the plunge. Time to take the next step on my career path. I can say that now. Career path. This is all so bloody scary.
It's one of those situations where you want something so bad, for so long... and when you get it, you don't know what to do with it. You're afraid to touch it for fear of messing it up.
*dry laugh* I just noticed that Winamp has chosen Once In A Lifetime by Dragonforce. Nice.
Once more, into the breech.

Greasemonkey
Remember that post a while back? The one where I said I was going to try to get an apprenticeship as a mechanic?
I did it.
I start at Myers tomorrow, on the lube rack (yeah, yeah, insert grease-rubbing comments here).
Nearly SIX years after I was turned down for being "too old," the same place is hiring me on. The class portion isn't available to me (due to spaces, not some wierd administrative requirement) until January 2009, but that means that I'll have a good year-plus of hands-on experience before I even step foot in a classroom for the theory portion. Four semesters later, I'll be writing my test for my Mechanic's License. After that I can get my Master Mechanic certification.
It's about damn time. This has been a dream of mine for so very very very long. The biggest step on the road to building my own car in the distant future.
Until then, I've started brainstorming ideas for the Unfire...
