Work

So last week I went through complete training at the Melting Pot. I learned the menu, how to make the cheeses and chocolates, learned about presenting and everything. I was scheduled to start following other servers but decided instead to quit. I know many people will hear this said and think, wow, she is not being smart but I feel differently about it. When I started training I first trained as a hostess and I met some of the people working there. As I met the people some were nice and some were just plain rude to me. I could not understand how someone could act that way when they are meeting someone else for the first time, ever. I did not even know someones name and they made a rude comment to me. So I went through the waitress training and when it came time to follow I was dreading going in to work. Of course, I called my mom to get advice because I didn't want to do something and then regret it. I told her I didn't want to waste a part of my life doing something I couldn't stand doing. Why should we have to waste ANY part of our lives being miserable? It just seems silly. You live once, why not take a risk and make it an enjoyable time. I mean I know a majority of people are working to make money and are miserable doing what they do. But why? I think people are scared to not have all the money they are used to having. I know it is terrifying to be living in a place having to pay rent, water, electric etc. and not have a job. I also know its terrifying to realize that it is August of 2010 and I have no idea what I have done for the six months I have been home from Hawaii. I am young and want to enjoy life and do what makes me happy...not what makes me money. I want to take pictures and start painting more. I want to sew more clothes that I can share with other people. I want to be thrifty and creative. So that's what I am going to try my best to do. My goal is to be happy and I will do whatever it takes to make it constant. <3
