A talent of yours.

I’m a good listener. I pride myself on being available to my friends and even acquaintances if they need an ear to bend for any reason. I’ll reserve judgement or delivering advice until they want it, or need them. I would hope all of my friends know I’m here for them and feel comfortable with talking to me.

Something random.

There was a steady rain today and now that it’s ended, it’s nice and cool out. I can’t say I like working when it’s raining, especially in the drive-thru because people don’t seem to have the smarts to pull close enough to the window to pay and get their food. I know it’s not personal, but it makes me feel bad when they roll up their window or just crack it open. It’s kind of degrading… even though I know it’s because they don’t want to get wet. *sigh*

I don’t know what it is, but today was the 2nd time in a week that a coworker made my hamburger with cheese when I didn’t run through a cheeseburger. Co-worker fail! I ate it anyway. *sigh*

After work, I had expected the husband to pick me up shortly after the half hour, so I stood outside in the drizzle for several minutes until he told me that he JUST got off work and was heading over. *sigh*

It was a very *sigh* day today lol.

An art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.).

My friend Vanessa is one of the most talented people I know. Her scope of talent is wide and I admire her quite a bit. This cut-out animation short is by her, made while she was in college. It’s dark & bittersweet and I love it.

A song that makes you cry (or nearly).

This song makes me cry because it’s just so sad… especially the video.

Something that is currently over-rated.

Something I think that is currently over-rated is how folks are automatically supposed to go off to college after high school. I think time and money is wasted if one goes to college if they aren’t really ready for it and know for sure what they want to do. This doesn’t include those who have been working towards college and what they want to do. I wasn’t somebody who was ready for college, and that is partially why I decided to join the Air Force instead. I knew I wanted to that, but not college. Now that I’ve spent some time working, and learning¹, I’m fairly certain what I want to study. Not only am I more ready to start college, but I’m also able to actually pay for it thanks to the GI Bill I received for serving.

I think the automatic push for college is over-rated.
