Work and random tangents

So far at work, there are two people that I like working with particularly. The rest are neutral.

I think its easier working here as a girl because there's a sense of competition among the men. Their pride gets in the way about wrong and right and soon people hate each other. Everyone's got opinions. I'm the new girl, so everyone is nice to me, showing me the ropes.

Of everyone, I am one of two girls that work at Rogers Plus besides management, which consists of two women.

Yesterday, a co-worker of mine was watching this TV show on TLC called "I didn't know I was pregnant", which was just horrifying and disgusting. Click here for a Youtube Vid. On that particular episode we watched, a woman didn't know she was pregnant, thought she was constipated and gave birth to her baby in the toliet, which was just gross. My first thought, when I saw the show was "why would anyone want to watch such disgusting and gruesome tv?", but now, I can't stop watching it. I am addicted to watching this horror.

Okay anyway, back to work: another co-worker of mine lives in the same (ghetto) neighbourhood as me, so he gave me a ride home yesterday. I really like working with him because he's been employed there the longest of all the customer representatives and he knows what he's doing. Thus, he does all the harder tasks and I do easy stuff like checking in videos.

He's currently in university for a business program but he hates business and wants to direct movies. I find this so cliche, but I like the fact that he wants to pursue his goal of directing after he graduates. There are too many people stuck in jobs they don't like, yet they don't want to do anything about it, so I admire him for taking this risk.

The other thing I like about work is the location. The area is well-off. One day, I'd like to live there with my future husband and kids. I like watching the parents come in with their children, all happy, without any worry to the amount of money they drop on DVD rentals. Some customers end up spending $30 or more to rent a few movies, which I find ridiculous, yet they don't bat an eyelash when I tell them the amount. Other customers will end up leaving the store paying $100 and over for movies and confection. They don't seem to care. Money is dispensible to them. They are rich.

This is in direct contrast to the student life I've been living, where I rent movies from the library for entertainment and occasionally go out to see movies in theatres. Some of my friends download movies online for free. (illegally *cough* haha... just sayin') Someday, I want to be able to freely spend money on this type of stuff and not worry about being reckless with my wallet. Working in this area reminds me of that goal, that I won't always be working minimum wage jobs, that there is more to strive for, if that makes sense at all.

To my non-existant readers (who never leave comments!): What are your future plans or goals?
