Yesterday I went to the NHRA Drag Races. It was SO much fun. There is an indescribable feeling that you get when cars, running on nitro, drive by you going 300 mph. The ground literally shakes. It is amazing, these cars can go from 0-300+ in like 4 seconds. There is something about burning tires, the rev of an engine and the smell of exhaust that is just awesome.

I find it interesting that work has be stressed out already and I haven't officially started in my new position. (I believe that is tomorrow). Last week wore me out. These week I only work 8am-4pm, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I am beginning to have serious doubts on how I will do in this new position. One day last week, my friend and I, who was also promoted, were working together w/some other people. She took charge, told people what to do, knew the best ways to get things done and I sat there and thought, "I can never be like this." I have never had a "take charge" personality. I think there are times that I would like to, but part of me is too worried about what others might think. Then there's part of me who doesn't want the responsibility of being in charge and would much rather have someone tell me what to do. I have no doubt that I can do the job that will be required of me, I doubt my ability to lead and direct people w/the best efficiency, I doubt my ability to be assertive and I worry about what people will think of me. At least all of the people I used to work with everyday still talk to me...I'm sure this sounds dramatic, but I have seen these people start to be rude or quit talking to someone for no good reason...I was worried about that, but so far they are talking to me...who knows what they are saying when I'm not around, but oh well. That's one reason why I'm glad to not be around them anymore, honestly. I feel a lot of pressure on my shoulders and I just want to do well.

Paul McCartney is this Friday...I am on pins and needles.

The musical Cats will be playing in December in the same venue I saw 311 in the last 2 times...I am VERY tempted to buy a ticket...the most expensive is $69, which is a lot less than I expected. I really love Cats, the only think that's stopping me is my work schedule...because we're really not supposed to ask for time off. I am a part of the venue's mailing list, which means I will have a few weeks to get tickets before they are on sale to the public and I get 10% off the price, so I will have to think about it.

Hope all is well w/everyone else. :)
