Well, it's coming down to the repetitive state in my work life again. Most 40 hour work week folks know exactly what I'm talking about. Every week day is the same, wake up at the exact same time, do your morning routine in the exact same order that you've been doing every weekday morning for the past 10 years. Leave for work at the exact same time, take the exact same route, park in your same parking spot...etc. Though your work day and work load might not be the exact same everyday it's in the general category, right?! Yes.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, i'm just saying its repetitive.
I love both my jobs, don't get me wrong. Absolutely, I found these two jobs, the social media intern and waitress jobs are the first two jobs that I've actually been really happy about. I loved working at the Ole Dusty Trail in Denton, but with all the drama and poor management it got real old real fast. But at Rojo, even though i'd do things a bit different, things are working out great. As for the internship, geeze let me tell you, you know that feeling you get deep down inside your gut when you find the perfect pair of shoes. Your whole body just KNOWS that those are the right pair of shoes for you, as if they were made and put in that store just for you to buy... that's how i feel about this internship. It was made for me... probably not really, but coincidentally I got the job and it feels right. I know this online marketing business is going to BOOM in the next 3 to 5 years and I want to enjoy the ride, i want to be apart of it. I want to be able to look back and tell my children how I was a part, a miniscule part, but nonetheless a part of the online media generation. I helped create it. Even if all i did was put a tiny piece of scotch tape onto the building blocks of the online media world, that tiny piece of tape wouldn't be there if it weren't for me; and who knows, had that tiny worthless piece of tape not of been place strategically in that specific spot I chose for it to be placed... the online media world might not be what it will become..
Hmm..
Something to think about.
I hope people realize that every single movement and choice they make in life some how in some way makes the world a better place. Sure you could counteract my statement with something like "what about those people who litter, they're hurting the earth.." well to answer that, if it weren't for scum bags who litter, we probably wouldn't have the prisoners on the side of the highway cleaning up their trash. Which in turn could possibly save a mans life, given we all know that many deadly fights occur everyday in prison... and who knows maybe that man, that was out there picking up someone elses trash the day a deadly fight occured, maybe he was innocent... and so forth. I wont go into all the different possibilities of how things could work out, but i think you get my point.
Anyway, though my work days have become repetitive, and quite frankly annoying, I don't plan to give up either job anytime soon. Maybe you should think about that next time you get tired of doing the daily grind for 10 years...
oh and while you're at it... take a break and listen to Mark McKinney's Story of My Life song- I guarantee it'll make you feel a hell of a lot better.
oh and on another note- i fractured my tail bone in Lake Tahoe snowboarding... ouch!!
