I fleeting glimpse with a history of excuses. That's all this world is full of.

Busy at work all day today, but honestly didn't do much. For one hundred twenty-one dollars and fifty cents, I'll do it again tomorrow. Sure beats working fast food. I've never had such a job and can't see myself ever having one. I don't even understand how people can settle for such shit pay. When you settle for such little pay that says a lot about yourself. I can appreciate some peoples situation, but when I pull through a Wendy's or god forbid a Taco Bell, I just feel sorry for those people. It's one thing to work there for a while, but to keep going back? You can tell some of the younger crowd may have something bright ahead of them someday, but they really have nothing now. Some of them might be going to school but they don't have any skills for a job now. They're going to school with the expectation of that piece of paper being the answer to their plight. I'm so glad I know the things I do and I am able to speak to people like I can. Every job that I have had is worthy of my resume. I'd never be satisfied with myself if I worked at the Taco Bell drive-thru window taking peoples orders who don't have the time to get out of their car to order. I've even heard McDonalds has plans to make the system more automated and computerized with no local people taking orders at the window. If I was working fast food at the ripe old age of 22 or even in college, I'd definitely be looking for a new job and/or contemplating suicide. Fast food jobs are for high school. There must be better jobs out there for some of those people, but to be honest with you there probably isn't. I only mention this because of the screw up I had today while ordering food.

Sometimes I wonder why I even decided to come to college. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed myself while here. I've had a lot of fun, run around with my share of girls, had more alcohol than most have in their entire life, and most definitely pressured people into doing things they wouldn't have done without my terrible peer pressure skills. Even where I am at now without a college degree, I'm ahead of most with one. Once people in management see my potential they usually start making bigger plans for me. It's been that way with every job I've held. There was a year and a half that I didn't carry a job because I just wanted to fuck around. I didn't want the responsibility of a job or hearing bosses tell me theres more to me than my current position. I didn't want that responsibility of meeting their expectations. I'm honestly ready for that now. I'm glad I checked the school papers online classifieds when I did. I landed a job thats going to help me take care of the majority of my plans on my 5 year list. I have a few things on that list that would be taken care of in a year if I wanted to. I'm ready to move on. I love waking up for work and driving there. I have a lot ahead of me. It's all going to happen much sooner than the kid working the Taco Bell window taking my order.
