I'm a 38 year old psychologist living in Nashville, Tennessee. Until shortly over a year ago, I hosted a radio/tv talk show. At the moment, I'm amid plans to start a new one called, " One Man's Opinion". It's a radio show FOR women, ABOUT men, BY a man.

I got a job at a pizza restaurant. I've worked for the same chain several years ago (a different location). I filled out the application online, made some nice customer comments about that particular location because it's my favorite place, and the owner called me last night! I was feeling really down when he called, so I look at this as a good sign, because it really made me feel better. This may sound totally lame or corny to you, but I'd much rather being doing something, even if it's just making pizzas, or taking orders for them, then sitting around at home being broke. I need to help out my family, but I also feel better about myself when I'm working, like I'm "contributing to society " by having a job. Ok, so I'm not curing cancer, but treating people nice can really make the difference in somebody's day, and I will be working with the public, which I know I can do. It's been a long time since I've worked a cash register, but it didn't look hard, I'm planning to stay there as long as I need to to save money and go back to school to finish my child development credits, but I didn't tell the boss that. I think I conviced this new boss that I can handle it, so why am I so nervous? Any suggestions? I start my training friday. (link)

You're nervouse because your human. There's alot riding on this. More than one could see on the surface. Your being able to help, your intentions to continue your education, your feelings of self-worth/esteem. All of these are very major factors in one's life and this job is a very important step to bringing those things to fruition. So, naturally, you're going to feela little angst about it. You know what? I commend you. In regards to work, I always say, " If you have to clock in, clock out an you pay taxes, it's a good job because it's an HONEST job!". There's nothing to feel ahsamed about. I wish more people had the character that you have dsipalyed by your willingness to do what it takes. Take a few deep breaths, realize that this is an important step that you can do, and go out and give'm hell. let me know when you graduate.
