11:27a - coming out of my shell?
Last night, after a long day of work with a weird employee named Rebecca from Easton, Sarah and I headed to our manager's wedding. It was a very pretty wedding- pottery barn-esque, with tan, olive and lavender colors everywhere. The food was catered by Cameron Mitchell, and the atmosphere was awesome at the Columbus Music Hall. And I give my congrats to Elizabeth and Mike.
However, Sarah and I did feel very alienated at the wedding. Elizabeth hardly came up to talk to any of the girls that worked at the store. We both felt that we were just co-workers- not friends, like we had assumed. Elizabeth's attitude towards other employees that were there was very similar. Yet, we met up with Amy and Mike. Amy used to work at Cache about six months ago. I started when she was just about to quit, but I still got to know her. She's very very cool- loves vintage clothes (she's going to take all of us shopping sometime), has an awesome humor, and her husband Mike couldn't be more compatable for her.
As the reception wore on, Mike suggested to go out later. I was worried because I wasn't of age that I wouldn't be able to get in, but turns out it was a lot easier than we thought it would be. We ended up at Pollo's lounge- a very quirky place up on Bethel. It looks very odd from the outside, but the inside was actually pretty cool. Turns out Sarah knew the people that worked there, and I basically just walked right in. Sarah, Jessica, Amy, Mike and I had a great time. Sarah kept telling me that it was really cool that I was able to "loosen up" and as Amy called it, "come out of my shell". I didn't really know I had a shell- I guess a lot of people haven't seen that side of me- out of anyone, probably Abby and maybe Megan, my sorority sister. But it was a lot of fun- I felt at ease, and maybe it was because I was with people that were older than me. I felt like the people that were there that were my age didn't even pay attention to me and we weren't even remotely at the same level. The people I did meet were all around twenty-three, twenty-four, and they were very cool, willing to talk about life rather than their campus parties and drunken accidents that I normally get when I'm around people my own age. They also weren't intimidated by the fact that I was younger (errr...22?)- overall, I had a relaxing evening with friends. It's good to know that Sarah, Amy and Jessica look at me as a friend, because I've always looked that way towards them, and would never expect anything less. I guess we know where we stand with Elizabeth, and that's definitely something to remember for the future.
Off to work... YES...work. I'm not in the mood, and I'm sure Sarah isn't either.
