Lame.

Not even an interview… I would have thought that 5 years of Japanese culture and language classes, 2 recommendations from former employees, and my experience tromping all over the globe and being independent while doing so would at the VERY least get me a meeting with someone. Maybe it’s just not meant to be. I’ve got to meet the people that do get picked though, they’ve got to be qualified out the ying yang.

Best of luck to all of you interviewing.

Whether it’s seeing a cute girl and thinking to myself, “I want to ask her out” or standing up for myself when a client tries to take advantage of my generosity. I want to somehow convince my mind that it’s okay to speak up.

A friend of mine constantly makes decisions as to what we’re doing when we hang out, and I go along with it EVEN WHEN I DON’T WANT TO. Why? I’m not sure. Maybe because I see him little enough as it is and I don’t want to strain the relationship? But it becomes strained when I’m seething inside anyway.

Ugh.

So, I’m not talking George Bailey impact on someone’s life, that’s a bit extreme. And I’m not talking about the normal everyday impact that you have on your friends or family, everyone does that. Somewhere in the middle would be good. Where something I was able to do or say had a positive effect on someone. Where it changed their way of thinking or changed how they see the world.
