I’ve been so tired the last couple of days. I can’t seem to figure out why. I’ll eat my vitamins, drink coffee, eat healthy, sleep plenty, and not indulge in any beer or wine. So why do I feel like I could use another 2-3 hours sleep? I speculated that it might be from all the smoke. I don’t know. If I knew I thing or two about how to use this site, I might post a couple of pictures of the air quality out here, or how it was last Thursday. It’s gotten a lot better. In fact I opened the windows in the apartment for the first time in a week this morning. Two weeks of you count our trip to Chicago, considering the house wasn’t open while we were gone. In any case, lack of fresh oxygen: could that leave me tired?
It’s true. Things are going to get worse before they get better. Economically, that is. Oil keeps going up, stocks keep going down. And all just in time for my graduation with the MBA. As bethie8888 might say, I guess the universe is testing me. I busted my hump for the last four years getting an MBA while working full time. And I did it all with the idea that I wanted to get out of bartending, and into something more “challenging” with “a better future”. And I seriously no sooner finish the masters and the nation’s economy sails into a tailspin.
But recessions are not all bad. Often times the biggest companies start during economic hard times. It’s possible that the entrepreneurs of those start-up companies formed there own firms because there was limited opportunities in the job market, and had no choice but to forge there own way. Is the universe calling?
Giusti’s is still there for me. I do have a job. So things are not all bad. But it is true that our many of our regular customers, who are not exactly spring chickens, are unable to come out as often as they use to, either because of health or the lack of it. Plus, we are further challenged by, like all retailers, of the tightening of the dollars by consumers. But, it is there. And a bird in hand, even if it is a small and shrinking bird, is better than one in the bush.
On the plus side, I’m probably in the best physical shape of my life. So that feels good. Outside of being tired a lot. Maybe I’m going through another growth spurt. Does that happen? At 33 I’ll shoot up another 2-3 inches. I hope not, my clothes sure would look funny. Until next time, take care.
