Transition

The title of this post could describe several periods in my life which have already occured. The series of events and feelings that make up what can be labeled a "transition" is a state of being, and we all experience it in phases. This does not necessarily imply a forward progression, but I like to think that with me it is.

I am finding myself in one of these new periods, where very much in my life is the same save one aspect that has been a major part of it for over a year. Of course, I immediately recognized this and did my best to curb its influence, so I believe that this is a minor transition, the first in a progression that will culminate after I have lived in London for about a month to three months.

The transitory period can exert visible influence on us, albeit not always measurable, and does not have to be positive, although I look at it this way. Being able to make efficient use of time during one of these phases is key, especially at this point in my life. Goals should be present and attainable, measurable with each day. A new state of mind and habit develop or evolve, but only if once can embrace it.

I am ready.

Another Successful Encounter

I went to Olga's Kitchen for dinner this evening, and oh boy, what a night. The guy, totally reminiscent of a homeless person, was being ultra rude to his server and the manager after he barked some orders to his server and she did something wrong. The following conversation ensued:

Me: (Quite Loudly) Excuse me, We are both servers (referring to Kristi, who was also present), and it's people like you that make me hate my job.

Guy: (stupefied)

(stupefied)

(stupefied)

We are about to leave when he says:
Guy: Well if you hate your job, maybe you should get some sort of different future!

Me: At least I have one.

Several people verbally thanked me for calling this guy out. This is why the world needs more confident people.
The end.
