Monday blog

NOVEMBER 29, 2010 @ 10:00 AM

As far as Mondays go, today had to be one of the worst/longest. In fairness however, while waiting for your flight, considering the day ahead, one comes to realise how fluid time is. I was wiating for a flight around 6am this morning and was hoping my second cup of coffee would rouse me to some state similar to consciousness...it took a while. In the process, I noticed that there were more chirpings from young children than normal...upon further inspection, I noticed that there was some sort of camp going on tour and as a result, there was a group of about 50x 8 year olds running around the airport...no amount of coffee can prepare one for that many children at 6 in the morning! Nonetheless it got me wondering about what I'd done growing up, friends I'd made and lost along the way and it chilled me to the bone. It feels like last week I finished high school and yesterday I graduated from varsity. Now I'm 25 and selling my life to the corporate world for a seriously cheap rate. I promise this isn't a downy blog but is it just me? Is time way more than fleeting? One thing that did bring a (possibly freaky smile to the parnets of those kids) smile to my face were the memories of all the good time I've had with those friends. I'll end this rather contemplative blog with a simple message: Love like you've never been hurt, live like there's no tomorrow and party like tomorrow's Saturday!

Hang on a moment...this is how the rest of my Monday went though....

I love your simple message. I will add this ; "Love till your very last breath and let the night be your best friend, wrapping you and your beloved one up in the best warm vibe ever".

Lol at least none of the kids got sick near you or on you. My luck always allows me to sit next to extremely overweight women or old men who find me comfortable to sleep on during long bus rides...

Haha ... So true. Alcohol makes all plans seem better.
No major travel plans, local house parties and such.

OK, here's my understanding of it.

When you're six years old, a day lasts forever. When you're 25, you've had many, many days so they kind of go by. Thus, time speeds up when you get older. Imagine when you're 50.

As for selling yourself for a low rate to the corporate world, think in terms of what skill sets you have and what they should really be going for. If you don't make that amount, have something prepared that explains why you should be making that amount then ask for a raise for that amount, or find something elsewhere.

I've left 2 jobs the past 12 months because I found out I wasn't making what my skill sets are really worth.
