"And as my mind begins to spread its wings, there's no stopping curiosity."

Things recently have become sort of bland. I'm still working at the local Olive Garden, and trying to gain more money, as to make plans work out quicker. I've begun to do some research on how to make things more cost effective, but with the holiday coming upon us quickly, it might take more time than initially expected. I really need to get back out west, where my heart belongs.

I was working a temp job this past week, and I had a brief reality check. People are weirdos. I worked with several people who appeared to be content working at temp jobs making $8/hour without benefits. Said people also appear not to care how they look when they go to work, as they wear sweat pants, and scrubby looking shirts. Please don't misunderstand me- I don't dress up when I go to work at a factory, but I wear jeans, and decent looking tee shirt. My clothes don't have rips, tears, or stains. No bleach marks, no deodorant marks. I look clean, and I don't have body odor. I keep myself clean, and it's clear I run a comb through my hair. Someone I worked with appeared as though they had not combed their hair, or showered in several days. I thought to myself, "How weird." It later became more obvious that they had no ambition to go further with their life. They were content with popping out babies and working minimum wage jobs. I thought to myself, after they reported having their first kid when they were 19, that I was selfish. I noted to them that there are way too many things I feel I need to accomplish before I even think about having kids. I also reported that I am 25. They proceeded to look at me like I was crazy. Wow. One of my aunties suggested that I don't worry about it, and attempt to focus solely on myself, do a great job, and move forward. I like this plan.
