Taking chances

I honestly can't stand when someone asks me to make a 'life' changing decision and practically demands an answer right away. I don't really mean life changing but I can't think of another word, basically it's a big decision that will change my future for a little while. Today at work, this new manager asked me if I was willing to switch over to over nights because one of the over night workers was quitting and she said it was a guaranteed four nights a week, and plus I would make 8.25 an hour instead of 7.25, and on Sundays when I make 8.25 now, I would make 9.25 then. All of that sounds really nice, I mean I would work 24 hours a week, I would be making more money, I would basically be left alone, and I wouldn't have to deal with management *cough cough Randy* But there are a few downfalls to taking the position, one is well obviously it's over night from 12-6 and I don't know when I'm expected to start the position but I'm guessing it's soon and I can't all of a sudden sleep during the day and work from 12-6, that's just mahogany. Another is, since I don't have a car I rely on my mom and brother, and at 6 AM my mom is getting ready for work, and now she would have to interrupt her schedule and pick me up. Also my brother got a new job which is 45 minutes away and sometimes he works until 11:30 so that doesn't work. What if I got sick? I can't exactly call off. Plus, over night workers do a lot more than cashiers during the day, they restock, they set up the registers, and of course ring up the new customers that come through. I mean the pay is amazing and my introvert self is beyond pleased that I would basically be left alone but it's a lot to think about, and I had to answer by 5. Ultimately I said no, but I'm of course over thinking everything and I think I might of made a mistake.

Although, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my mornings and I would miss some of the other cashiers.

Ugh it's all so confusing.

Enneagram

Last night I decided to look into my enneagram because to be honest, I didn't know anything about it besides that according to tests I was a 5w6. I filled out this survey on Personalitycafe in the Enneagram forum and people said I was a 6w5, 9w1 and a 3 wing something (we're not sure what yet).

I really like enneagram but I still prefer MBTI.

Other than that, nothing else is new.

Proper blog post

Since my last post was basically describing myself in the most awkward way possible, I think it's time to write a proper blog post.

Lately I have been cleaning my room and finding things from my past and I'm suddenly overwhelmed by nostalgia, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just weird. I mean I love looking through old journals or photo albums because I will jump back in time so to speak and relive those moments, but sometimes nostalgia isn't a good thing, which I guess defeats the purpose but I can't think of another word so nostalgia will have to stick.

Since I made this blog tonight, I went through my old blog, which of course all of the posts were deleted years ago when I gave up with the damn thing, but I still could read the 'about me' section. I remember when I made that blog, I was still in New York, and then I went on a 'hiatus' until September when I moved to Pennsylvania. Those postings were probably filled with random garbage about a friend at the time, and how stoned I was. I try not to think about my junior year because I wasted it, but at least one good thing came out of it, I learned who I was as a person and I let my 'inner nerd' come out.

Sometimes I like to think about my life three/four years ago and it's always bittersweet. The people that consumed my life aren't in it anymore, and it's a good thing but it's sad at the same time.

I'm not sure what else I should add besides the fact that for once in my life I know who I am and three years ago I would have loled at myself now. Stupid 17 year old Allison.

New blog!

So I have officially started a new blog, I made one on this website over three years ago and I stopped using it shortly, so this is my new blog.

I don't know why I started a blog because, nothing eventful happens in my life. Maybe I hope to meet people that interest me?

So I should probably tell you about myself, right? That's the point of a blog after all.

So here goes.

I'm Allison and I'm 19 years old, I'll be 20 in December. Currently I work in a supermarket and I am wearing a brace on my left hand because of a pinched nerve. I'm a 5w6 INTP and I spend a lot of my time on personality cafe lurking the INTP sub forum. My interests include reading, learning, Doctor Who and my many other 'fandoms', typing people, psychology, sleeping, and of course coffee.

I like to think that I'm a fairly interesting person and I hope you think I am as well.

Honestly this first blog post is awkward and I don't know what else to write so bye?
