Things are looking up. I got the confirmation call from Costco. I am officially an employee and I have my orientation this next weak. Yay....its a start! Its something different. Its not my what I am interested in as far as a career but it will be something to pay my bills for a while. I found that cashiering at Barnes and Noble isn't exactly interesting.
After two weeks I'm board but it is such a positive thing to have a job and I look forward to getting my own place once again. I can't wait.
No other religion has affected me nor has any other religion put tears in my eyes and joy in my heart as Islam has. It is such a misunderstood religion and I wish people could see what I saw in it before my conversion and now after. I knew from a very young age I was drawn to women who wore a veil (hijab) but didnt know why. It was as if I was destined to find Islam and the second I put a scarf on I knew it would never come off.

Friday at work at Barnes and Noble
On Friday the 7th at Barnes and Noble I was cashiering when an elderly man walked up and said you must be really cold today. I replied no, I wear this every day no matter how hot or cold it is. He huffed and puffed. Snatched his money and walked off. He didn't reply back when I told him to have a nice day.
In saying that, when he said that to me I really wasn't paying attention to what he really meant by it. When I replied to him it was truly just reply to what I thought was an honest harmless comment by him. It wasn't until he huffed and puffed and snatched his money that I became suspicious of his intent and had the feeling he was being mean with a nasty attitude. It was nice outside, it was a warm day.
I relayed the incident to my two co-workers and they said he was being mean. I don't know, I didn't see his face when he said it and I really didn't make eye contact with him at all. He only bought a juice so the transaction was less than 45 seconds.
My heart says to not make anything more of it and not read into it if I am not sure. I don't like to think the worst of people even when my gut is confused.
