I keep starting posts and then get distracted, busy, or give up. I feel like all my posts should have a purpose. They should have some moral. Something spiritual and righteous at the end. It's been more than a month since my last published post and I'm coming to realize, they don't always end that way. But this one might...
Have you ever noticed that some people are just angry? No matter what the issue is, or what you can do for them, they are angry. Even if it isn't your fault, they're angry. Like the person behind me in line at the pharmacy who is grunting because the person in front of me is taking a long time. I offer to let them go in front of me because they are obviously in a hurry, and I'm not in any rush, and they don't say thank you, and they still give an attitude to the cashier. Or the customer who's DSL is down because the phone lines aren't working properly who yells at me because AT&T can't get to the location until Friday
Life happens. Take a chill pill. Street lights turn red. The line you're in is always the slowest. The cashier just ran out of quarters. Is it really worth becoming utterly enraged when something doesn't go your way? Life just can't be that bad; can it?
My live surely isn't. I work the early shift at a cafe (at work by 6:30 am) and I start seeing customers between 7-7:30. Many mornings people tell me I'm "too perky" or "too happy this early." My response? I get paid to be there and get off at 3:30 in the afternoon. Sure it isn't ideal, but it could be worse. I used to work until 6 or 7 at night and that was no fun.
Anyways, the moral of the story is: don't be a downer and angry all the time. It's not worth it.
