I hate not being able to fall asleep. I always end up creating these elaborate situations in my mind about things that are happening in my life, or things that I imagine happening. A normal person would fall asleep in that situation, but not me, because I have to see how the story I created in my own mind ends. It sucks. Tonight, I started to think about how it must feel to be old and to know that you did not make a difference. Those people who go to WORK every day, eat their lunch at McDonald's and then come home in time to watch Wheel of Fortune and then American Idol, ending the night falling asleep in bed with the news on that they are not really watching because they don't have time in their busy lives to care about anything else. People who live their whole lives to get married and have kids, and do that. The time after that happens becomes them stalling before they die their early death brought on by their diet of high cholesterol and stress.
My job has made me realize that there are more of those people in the world than one would like to think. I work with people who have two jobs. People with kids. People who never went to college because they decided to pursue their dreams. There is a women who sits next to me named Ade. She was a dancer in the 80s in Las Vegas, and even was in the move The Blues Brothers with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi. Now she calls people from 9-5 every day monday through friday to schedule them for focus groups. Ade is smart and funny, she works hard and cares about what she does. How is it that in this country someone with that work ethic, someone who has an above average ability to relate to other people, ends up at a job she has to take a bus to from L.A.?
People like to think that they control their own destinies. If that were true, then there would be no janitors, maids, or phone recruiters at Adept Consumer testing.
