A little bit ago I completed day 5 out of 6 at work. I am beat! I better get used to it though, starting next week I will be 5 days in a row for a while.
The weather here has been beautiful. In the 80s today...and tonight, it is windy and nice outside. Makes you want to sit outside and enjoy it.
One guy at work wants to start a union because he thinks Target doesn't pay us enough. He has brought this up before and talked to me about it. I definitely don't think we get paid enough for some of the crap we have to go through, but I need the money...I told him that and he disagreed and started talking about principle and what not. My response was that Target won't care. For every person who striked and tried to form a union, there would be 10 people willing to work for $7.05 an hour. Again he talked about principle. And I told him that I was graduating this year, I don't live with my parents, I have to support myself and I can't afford to quit. Plus, I am kind of thinking that if anyone is really fed up with our pay, they have an option to quit and find a job that pays more. I just think it's interesting how serious he seems to be getting about it.
That same night, the same guy asked me what my passion was. I paused for a few moments and realized I couldn't answer that. I told him I haven't found it yet and he seemed surprised by that. Is it really that abnormal? Not to have a passion at 23? He's 19 and has one. There are things I thought I was passionate about, but I'm not sure anymore. I have a passion for 311, which in many ways, has very deep meaning for me. But I'm not sure if that counts as a passion. As 311 has so wisely said, "So what you will so what you wish, follow your bliss on everyday."
Tomorrow, I want to get some stuff done that I have been meaning to. I want to check all the fluids in my car, make a few phone calls, workout, dust my room, and get some paper work filled out. I guess I will see how much of it actually gets done. ;)
I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend!
