This might be long...or might not be
So what up everyone? Been doing ok? I hope so. I really do. I hope wellness for all that deserve it. There has been some time that has passed with naught an update from yours truly. I'm sure you all miss it terribly. My mindless ramblings and goings on. I almost hope you do. Given that I aspire to be a writer, it is a hope that at least some enjoy my writing. I know that writing about my life is certainly different from writing in fiction form, but, they may be one in the same.
I have figured out a few things in the past month or so. I love certain aspects of Asian culture. Now i know it is hard to place such a large number of people into a category like that but, it is hard to break it down further without spending a shitload of time on it. Me working at the restaurant where I work has certainly raised that love. It has also given me some inside into the workings that I may not like and some that I really don't like. I suppose it's good to see both sides of the wall rather than just go on thinking that all is great and grand. But, for the most part, I like quite a lot of things about the culture and products that come out of Asia. I have become nearly obsessed with their drinks. I love Asian tea and now have discovered their "soft drinks". The one that's the best so far that I've seen is a small glass bottle with weird curves in it. I bought it for the fact that it was glass and looked so odd. They also have great flavors like melon, apple, and Hello Kitty. I am not sure how that one tastes but, it is going to be a stocking stuffer for my sister and when I taste it will decide if I go get more.
The greatest thing about these beverages is how to drink them. There are instructions on the bottle. So that's good. What you have to do is take the protective thin plastic off the top. Then you take another sort of "cap" off. This is in two parts. One nipple looking part and a surrounding skin to keep the nipple thing attached. Once you do this, you throw away the skin-type thing and the thin part. Now you have to push the nipple thing into the top of the bottle which looks hard to do since it looks like there is some thick ass plastic stopping the flow of beverage into my thirsty mouth. What pushing the nipple in does is actually push a clear marble....a clear marble, that's right, into the beverage. What the odd curves are is stop the marble from going to the bottom....for some reason. So the marble stays in the top region. Another set of the curves is for when you want to drink, you're supposed to position the bottle so the curves stop the marble from going back up into the mouth where it can't escape and makes it hard to drink. There are tons of these drinks too in various flavours. There are warnings on the bottle to not try and remove the marble...what am I going to do tomorrow? Try and remove the marble. What is the point of this small thing in my beverage? I have not a clue. I want to know though.
The other things I got, drink wise, were a case of apple sidra. Which is apple soda, which really isn't that bad. I also got two 2 litres of different teas and 2 very small energy drinks. I can't wait to try those. I'm sure my mind will explode. The great thing is that most of the bottles are written in some Asian language so what they choose to translate is usually hilarious. On one of the tea 2 litres, which i drank one of in about an hour, it says FOR BETTER TOMORROW, YES! Fucking hilarious.
The other thing I've picked up on is that you meet some real interesting people when you work in a restaurant. No matter what kind. Servers are, in my estimation, probably some of the most experienced people persons. No matter where your place of employment is, if you work in a restaurant, I salut you.
I think the way that my mind works, I am very capable if not perfect for running a restaurant in some way. A manager position is one I think I would be great at. I have no problem being strict with people when need be and being lax when need be. I wouldn't care about firing if it had to be that way. I know how to spot bullshit without stepping in it. I can hire people and keep an eye on them whilst they are getting adjusted. I can train. I'm not that great at math but, computers are. I can calm people down or raise their spirits if so required. I can talk to people on the phone well. I'm good at estimating what people would like if I can talk to them in person. I know how to treat people. Most people like me when they talk to me. I am understanding of most situations. I can take control or let it slip whenever the situation calls for it. I could do very well at marketing if I had the money to do so. Know what, fuck it. ME FOR PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD.
Drunk people usually like me and like to talk to me.....a lot. I am sick of being called Jack Black. I don't like my original birth name, but, to be called someone else, that sucks even more. Well, I just had a long phone conversation which hasn't happened in a long time. My mind has wandered off from writing this shit. I'm done. Peace out.
