i want to help people.

so i've done some serious thinking lately and i've decided that i'm done SERVING people. i want to HELP people. i used to think customer service was help for the people, but not lately. i've had my eyes opened and the majority of people don't appreciate the employees that work in the retail world. i used to always bite my tongue and brush off the rude remarks, but i'm getting to my breaking point. now, i'm not naive. i know other professions are hard and get the complaints and whatnot, but i don't feel that retail HELPS anyone. i want to make a difference in people's lives. whether it's massage therapy, nursing, teaching or even cosmetology (all things i've been considering), i think i will get much more satisfaction and feel a lot more positive than i do about the retail world. i can't wait to go back to school and start down a career path i am going to love and be proud of.

... no what is that career path going to be??

that's the toughest question. any ideas? :)

so i've had a couple days to relax. finally. this retail holiday season is already taking a toll on me and it's only the fourth of december. less than a month left is all i have to keep telling myself. in the past month this store has lost so many employees. and to be honest, i don't blame them for leaving. it's not the worst job in the world; there are still some great people working there. but when you walk in you can just feel your blood pressure go through the roof. i know if josh and i didn't depend on my paychecks every month that i would really contemplate quitting. but for now, i'm going to tough it out.

i wish whoever reads this blog, happy holidays! keep the people you love close. it's a time to be thankful for all your gifts. :)
