Customer Service

The next time you go shopping, or out anywhere really, pay attention to the customer service. How fake/real are they being, are they real good at being fake? Be careful, and be appreciative.

Or you could try this - Treat the employee like the customer. It sounds weird, but ask them how their day is going, or smile at them.
What's that? free samples? a free latte? a new friend? NO WAY!

Carpe Diem

When I was in high school, any excuse to get out of class was a good opportunity. So when professional speakers came to give assemblies, it was mostly seen as an hour to not be miserable in class (because life was so hard right?).
One year I remember a man who came in and spoke all about living your life, doing the things you want to do, and how every second counts.
He wore a shirt with big bold writing.
'Carpe Diem'
Now my 15 year old self absorbed this and I lived this for all of 1 hour. I then went back to my regular teenage life of missed opportunities.
When I started getting sick I watched my life pass by me. I felt like I had lost months of what could have been spent laughing with my friends. Well technically I did.
I try my best when I'm feeling really tired to think about what I could be doing at that very moment, and that often gives me encouragement to actually go ahead and do it.
Now I'm trying to work on seizing the moment when it comes to relationships. When I think about all of the people I could have told my true feelings to, I realize all of those special moments I could have had.

Well thats my midnight rant on a Friday night. Big day tomorrow.
Carpe Diem.

Random Thought

I'm not ashamed to say that I am guilty of watching MTV religiously.
Watching The Real World today made me want to throw out a suggestion to any males taking the time to read this, and now that I think about it, for the girls too.
Sunglasses are to keep the sun out of your eyes right?
So why are you wearing them in the club?
Can you even see?
Do you realize it's douchey to call them your 'Stunna Shades' and not be joking about it?

Wear your sunglasses when it's sunny.
Just saying.

I'm a Cheater.

I cheated on my vegan diet yesterday. I wasn't having the greatest day at work, so for some reason that justified eating bad foods. I did not eat meat though.
I slept for 12 hours last night because I had a headache afterwards and I was feeling so lethargic.
I've definitely realized that I need to think of food as FUEL and not comfort.
