Maybe I've been in the business too long. Maybe I'm in my creative phase of my life. Though I have always drawn, acted, sang, painted, written, or something artistic. But now in my life is the time when I'm deep into it. But I feel like a robot almost. Except for the occasional person I really get to talk to, its scoop this, serve this, clean this, hand out cash, say thank you have a nice day, listen to this, stock this......Ugh! I do it cuz its money. And okay money too. But fuck me if I just don't wanna anymore! I've been working in fast food or restaurant or retail for 23 years! And nothing to show of it. My own fault mind you. But who starts saving for retirement when they're 19??? I mean really. Jeesh.
Well....I will keep plugging away. Cuz that's what I do. And btw...I'm such a good mindless drone that I am now, after a week, full time and got a raise and 2 more steps out of 6 to becoming the asst. manager! Yippee, Woohoo and stuff! *throws streamers in the and blows on her kazoo* <-------sarcastically
I think that's life...mindless drudgery mostly, but interrupted by occasional flashes of brilliance!
ReplyDeleteI like the occasional flashes of brilliance!! But more so when it ends up streamlined instead of flashing :D
ReplyDeleteEven though we are creative, we have to pay the bills somehow! Yes, I work in radio, which sounds exciting, but after a while it all becomes routine. BORING!
ReplyDeleteMoney makes the world go 'round...I don't want the world, i just want my half.
