Sometimes it takes something to inspire change, sometimes that's an awesome new job and sometimes it can be Jake Gyllenhaal. Really, though, I just couldn't find a suitable image for this post, but Jake is pretty cute, so he works just fine.
I gave my notice at Starbucks the other day, I've been working there for almost a year. Making fabulous drinks just doesn't quite fit in with my interests in human rights. If anything its the opposite, there are families in third world countries working way too hard to nurture those beans which Starbucks makes a fortune from and pays very little for. Solution: work more doing fund raising for those awesome organizations I mentioned in another post and make a hell of a lot more money. I will miss the fabulous people I work with there though, it was because of them that it was actually hard to quit!
Another change I'm making is being sure I do what's good for me. So this means I won't be around people who are too immature––not just in the annoying sense, but in life too. Sometimes its good to have fun, but its also good to take your job/career and friendships seriously. Friends, if they are true friends, are not expendable.
Finally, with having one less job I will have more me time. I'm ready to start dating again, I think... I guess. How I'm going to go about this dating, I'm not sure. Maybe I will just go to gay bar's and try to find the love of my life, NOT. I fucking hate how the gay community, especially in my city, is reduced to clubs for its primary social interactions and dating/fucking prospects. Its horrible. I don't want some guy's number who is obscenely drunk and trying to make out with my neck at the urinal at 3am, that's just not a good first impression. And clubs just aren't good spaces to actually meet someone, there are too much drugs, alcohol, stupidity, and falseness. Here's for hoping the ONE comes along sometime in the not so distant future.
