My Life Thus Far
It's All Rather Silly
It's funny how yesterday at work felt so slow, yet today it actually was slow, but it didn't feel as slow as it did yesterday. There was a Seahawks game this morning, and Washingtonians take their Seahawks very seriously. It's kind of a cult phenomenon around here. I don't particularly like football, and I definitely don't like following the crowd. I think it's all rather silly, actually. Snookums has always been a big football/Seahawks fan, but I'm glad he hasn't jumped on the psycho fan bandwagon.
I didn't have the best day sales-wise. With it being slow, I had already prepared myself for a less than awesome day. Then it turns out one of the newer associates was doing some dishonest cashiering (causing her to have a crazy high sales per hour number, and mine was suspiciously low). Even then, I still wasn't upset. I don't know why, but I just wasn't bothered by it today. I drain too much energy worrying about something as unimportant as sales numbers. It's not what I want to focus on. I know I'll have days were I do care, but I want to have less of them. It's a constant battle, reminding myself of what's truly important.
I've noticed over the past couple months that my consciousness has expanded exponentially. I haven't decided if this is a good thing, or more trouble than it's worth. Things I didn't used to care too much about, I'm starting to feel more passionately about; racism, veganism, social injustice, feminism, politics. I hate politics, so that's slightly upsetting. I don't like thinking about things I don't feel like I have all that much control over. Politics is #1 on that list. Mostly I just want someone to fix the shitstorm that's consuming our country right now, and I don't think Donald Trump is the right person. If he wins the Republican nomination, I'm appalled at the idea of my Republican friends voting for him solely because he's Republican. I normally vote Democrat, but the more I learn about Hilary, the less I'm inclined to vote for her. She's been bought. Bernie Sanders is the way to go. I hope even shithead stubborn Republicans can figure out that voting for Donald Trump is a joke. Why do I care? I didn't used to, and now I do. It sucks. Perhaps I'm finally growing up...
I feel the need to go into nature tomorrow. I haven't hiked in awhile. It's supposed to rain, but I'll have to look and see if it's going to be torrential, or just sprinkles. I can handle sprinkles.
