Day 1,189

Today, is day 1,189. This day holds absolutely no significance except for the simple fact I actually sat and thought to myself "God, how LONG have I been here?" That's actually a really long time. If I really wanted to get technical, I could break it down farther to the ACTUAL number of days worked (so excluding weekends, and holidays) but you know... I compare this to prison sometimes, and they get to count weekends and holidays, so why can't I?

So, on Day 1,189, I think I did my fair share of work, and have earned my pay check this week, that will sadly all go to bills. Money comes and then it goes to maintain this (not-so) extravagant lifestyle. OH! The 427 sq. ft. apartment is quite glamorous! And OH! Having to choose between either watching channel 5 or 7 is far too exhausting. It's rediculous how I live, basically, day to day to pay the rent. Man, I wish I had no hopes and dreams, and working at a coffee place was a "good job". Ignorance. IS. Bliss. It is. I wish I never knew how much money I could potentially make everyday by doing this job. Now I'm accustomed to it, and I wouldn't consider getting out of bed for anything less. Sad, I'm the equivalent to a snobby overpaid actress...

Strangely, other Seattle businesses actually think that the STC is a great place to work. This means we actually have a head up on the competition, as far as the job search goes. I've found that there actually are MANY other employers out there willing to pay as much, and often times MORE than we are paid here. Interesting. So if you ever feel like getting the hell out, I guarantee that you can get a much more rewarding and way better paying job based simply on your experience here. Just so ya know...
