I think today has probably been my favorite Monday in forever and all I did was work!  I mentioned on Friday that it was my last day of work.  So today was my first day of being “free.”  Obviously, I was not exactly free because I took a shift at Sonic because someone called in.  I got to Sonic at 6:00 AM!!!  6:00 AM is CRAZY and I know people do it EVERYDAY and I give them so much credit.  There are people that have no other choices and need to support their family and they will work any job so that they can give their family a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs.

Basically on that same note, it bothers me when people say they cannot find a job, especially people my age.  What they are basically saying is they do not want to work in the service industry to make extra money, they may think they are “too good” to work in the service industry or they are too lazy to work there.  I guess what really bothers me is that some people thing they are better than other people and that a job in the service industry is below them.   Yes, they may have a college degree but sometimes you may have to take a job to pay the bills that may not be your dream job.  But you have to start somewhere.  Who knows, you could begin working at the lowest position on the totem pull and work your way up to high management, it has happened a lot more than once.  I guess it just bothers me that my generation has this sense of entitlement and gets a bad rap from it.  I understand we are not perfect, I’m not perfect, no one is.  But it does make me mad how some of my generation acts.

Okay, I guess I’ll step down off my soap box, but it is a blog for my opinions, so that is what I give.  It is great having an outlet where I can let loose and let my opinions be known.   After I worked at Sonic (only until 9:30) I went to baby-sit at 10:00 until 3:00.  I am so glad that I can baby-sit again, I have missed it.  I honestly feel that my calling is to work with kids.  Working behind a desk from 8:00-5:00 was horrible for me.  I love to be on the go all the time and doing that did me no justice.  But again, it was a job and it was a good job and I am thankful for the experiences I gained while working there.  We have to try things out before we find out what we like and what we do not like.  I honestly do not think anyone can come out of college knowing for sure what they want to do.  More than likely they have not had a lot of experience with it and are basically finding a job in a field that they think they want to be in.  For me, I always have wanted to work with children and teach.  I just took the more practical route of a business degree and always planned to go back to graduate school for education, I just didn’t know it would be so soon.

But I think everything works out for the best and I am more than ready to start this new chapter of my life.  On another note, Gossip Girl is on today.  It is my all time favorite show.  I know it is basically a show about stereotypical upper east side high schoolers, but that is what I love about it!  The characters are so well defined, it is just a very well written show.  Also the premiere of Samantha Who is on today and I LOVE that show as well.  I don’t have a lot of time to watch tv, but these are my two do not miss shows.  I cannot wait to see how they begin this season of Samantha Who.  I honestly want her to get back with her boyfriend, I cannot think of his name right now.  But I have always wanted her to get back with him, all of last season.  So I cannot wait to see what they have in the cards for them this season.

I must be going now.  As Samantha Who is going to begin in about 10 minutes.
