Good deal

Finding something worth Blogging about is more difficult than I had expected.  I wonder how people can people can consistently Blog.  I guess it is a benefit of living an interesting life.  I guess my problem is that I feel my day to day activities are not really intriguing.  My job, while I am happy to have one, is rather dull.  I work in retail and to be honest I am tired of dealing with the public.  It is almost as if people come in with a chip on their shoulder just to unload it upon anyone in a servile position.  I do not have a submissive nature and find it hard to deal with the attitude and mistreatment from people whose only contribution to society is that of a consumer.  I do not feel grateful for your business because it does not impact me!  I don't work on commission or set prices so your complaints that the item is too expensive is not an issue I feel compelled to discuss with you.  Please do not place your cart in front of my checkout area and leave it there after your transaction.  Someone has to put it back and guess who that is?  If you guessed anyone other than me, you are not only wrong but a fool.  So I have to walk to the other side of the counter, grab your cart and wheel it to the cart area.  The cart area is right by the entrance/exit so I know you are more than capable of putting it in the right place on your way out.  I guess it's a control thing.  If the items scans for a price different than what you expected please do not think raising your voice and telling me "THAT AIN'T RIGHT" is a solution. 9/10 times you were probably looking at the wrong price tag, and if that is not the case I have to enter a sale code.  So relax, I got this.  Your beauty cream and Usher cologne are 10 cents off.  Ahh, you got a good deal today.

First post

I started this blog as a form of self-therapy.  To be honest I do not feel like typing.  A few years ago I took a big risk in life, and for a time it was paying off.  Sadly, like many others who invested without to much knowledge as to how these things work the market crashed and I am left a little shaken up at the moment.  I know things from this point on will be better than before, but I miss living in those days before it dipped.
