"Change Gonna Come"

Much has happened since I last wrote.

Things you should know:

1. I have a boyfriend. Yes, I know shocking isn't it?
2. I am currently braving this ever dangerous terrain known as "the job market." I have to say that I'm grateful. I have more options readily available than most but I'm rather indecisive as to what exactly it is that I want to do. More on that in a moment.
3. Perhaps due to points 1 and 2 above I've decided that my life needs a major makeover. I'm determined to get my spirituality, room, car, time, money, body, and family life back in order. So far, I have exactly zero of these in order but I'm trying which really must count for something.

A couple came into work tonight and the gentleman asked me why, if I had a degree I was waiting tables. Oddly enough this man worked retail for 25 years and also has a degree. I wanted to ask him what made waiting tables such a lowly vocation. I mean gosh, I get it, its not like I actually want to wait tables, but then again how many entrance levels jobs pay about $20/hour (depending on whether its a good tip night or a bad tip night that number can fluctuate)? Its strange really, the man's comment is an often verbalized annoyance that I convey, but when posited from an outside source its almost annoying. "Yes sir, I do realize that I just paid almost $100,000 for college and I'm serving you a Big A** Burger. If I knew the reason I have a degree and I'm still waiting tables I would probably not be waiting anymore." Soon, I have to believe that soon I will be able to make the cut and never wait another table so long as I live.
