A new perspective
So a lot has happened to me in the
past month. I have quit a job got a new job quit a job and got an old
job back. To make sense of that I quit managing at TCBY and started
work at the airport which ended up being a disaster. To have a phone
call from Old Manager Dave... basically he said he had heard what
happened at the airport and had a proposal for me.
It was as follows:
-I would return to TCBY and work at 3 different stores
-I will work at Garylane on Mondays, Overland Wednesdays, and Meridian
on Fridays. -I would paid $7 an hour at Garylane and Overland
-I would be paid $7.50 an hour at Meridian, this is because Dave owns
that store
-I would be allowed at anytime to quit without any grievances
-I would have no management type responsibilities
-I may have the internet password if I so choose
-I can put out a tip jar if I so choose
-I would be guaranteed 3 shifts a week consisting of 7.5 hours a piece
or a total of 22.5 hours
-I would be allowed to ask for any days off I want as long as I asked
for them within the time constraints
This was something I couldn't refuse and besides the fact that I
couldn't find a new job and had been out of work for a month I was
totally for it. Yes after a month I went back but who wouldn't with
that kind of deal. I was only making $8.50 managing and it was a whole
lot of work and responsibility. I am happy with this. Being gone and
out of work and seeing how it was at the airport made me really
appreciate the job I had. I am thankful for all TCBY has provided me. I
wouldn't trade it for the world.
So I was working tonight with my best
friend Trudy and I have to say that she is truly amazing. She just has
the best outlook on life. She is wise beyond her years when it comes to
people. I honestly don't where she comes up with some of her ideas but
they really make you think. I just love the conversations we have
because they challenge me to think outside the norm and all the typical
stereotypes. Plus she encourages me to strive to be a better person and
makes me want to accomplish more and think more positive. She just
excites me about life. To live it to the fullest and take things for
what they are worth. She is constantly reminding me that things are not
as bad as they seem and that people always pull through no matter how
bad. Plus she reminds me that God is always there and that we are never
alone. He knows best and we need to just accept that and once we do
life is so much simpler. It is just really cool.
Hmmm anyways my point is just live life... don't get caught up on the
little stuff. I know its hard sometimes, but really there is always
someone out there that cares about you. Just look at the positives. I
am really guilty of the opposite and I just realized its not worth it.
