A Real Job?

I can relate. unless you fed me your entire story i feel like i might know what you are going through. They asked me if the customer is always right. I responded "Of Course, the Customer is ALWAYS right, because without revenues supplied by themmmmmm, we cant construct a capital structure. I diddnt get into any economics, but that would be the only way i could keep talking without getting my true feelings adjacent.




As a customer, i cant help but accept whatever i get. I now hold a great respect to every server at denny's working the early morning shift. Every bartender, bouncer, and especially the bathroom attendent. I try to start conversations and do my best to make their day. Recently this became really important to me. It became really important to me to view my peoples as equals, or even above. My innate satisfaction with life tends to always be on my side. the cup overflows onto the table and drips on the floor.

They asked me how i prioritize things in my life. I answered pretty liquiditly and said that i love people. I love my social life, but the promise made to me by the university and a even more liquid element (my job) i have the satisfaction to know that most of my friends are staying for good so i can concentrate singlemindedly on what offers a promise. The promise though, was given to me standing in front of a mirror. or a piece of glass to be dramatic, where 2 pupils turned into 4 looking  in the same direction.

I put that to the test in the month of october. I understood my need to socialize and party. Losing myself in the process i found that in this rare month of 5 full weekends, i spend a minimal amount of time doing the weekend. In Chris Hedges' masterpiece  "The Empire of Illusion" i immediately understood how human beings are so "maleable" or should i say easy to please. My interpretation of the facebook like button is the same as ordering off the mcdonalds picture menu, its easy convienient and it appeals to the masses. I feel like its true that we lack culture and depend on the media to provide the fodder for our nutrition.  IF they asked me what my strength was. I would respond with a smile. Because it is what it is. I was brought to this planet to touch hearts.



Well today there were no more behavioral questions. There was one though.



Actually it was more like an offer.

I missed his call(heart jumped), called back, (skipped a beat).


It was a JOB offer. an internship yes. but the step 1 which in pareto principle, was more important than all my other steps combined . I wanted it. I wanted it the right way.

i celebrated.

Now its back to work. i have the day off tommorow.

but i have a to-do list that is waiting to undress a whole 8.5x11.


Thank You Kobe.
Thank You Family
Thank you God.

I have so much more to do. But i cant say that this is a real job relative to ones ive had before. It is a job though, that will utilize my knowledge and force me to think.
