The best thing about having a job is the ability to get out or the house and meeting people. Some of the people you meet are worth knowing and are cool people in general. Then there are the people that ruin your day or the day of a co-worker. They are spiteful, mean, and selfish people who think only of themselves and their experiences. They have their reasons for being that way but they aren't good enough to to be mean to other people. Being with other people than just my family and those few friends I hang out with is awesome but a variety of people and the prospect of meeting new people makes things interesting. Being with other people also has its negative side. With what I stated before it also makes me realize that people cling to hatred like a retired KKK leader. People backstab and call each other names and worry only of themselves. It makes me sad that I'm apart of a race of people who can't get rid of their own hatred for one another. Forgiveness is forgotten and the grudge takes hold like a disease that consumes the soul. Thats life though and the only thing you can do is try and be that one person who picks up the slack. Sure you can't do it yourself but at least its a start. As far as I go I need to correct some mistakes in who I am. These mistakes will take some work but if it will make me a better person in the end it will be well worth it. Sometimes you have the chance to help others become better people but most of the time you have to take care of your own faults before you can start helping others with theirs. I think thats why some people may call me cold or heartless, because I see how people act and say something about it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you act like a jerk, talk like a jerk, and walk like a jerk then what are you? A kind and caring wonderful individual who is out for everyone's well being? Not in the slightest. Work made me see all these things about people and ultimately about myself. Thats why I think interaction with new people and new places is important. It expands your horizons and teaches you new things about the world and yourself. So its a bittersweet experience re-joining the work force. It will ultimately pay off as far as the money aspect goes as well so thats always a plus.
I need to play more video games. And read more books. And watch more movies. May 25th is Pirates day.
