Service

I have a completely different viewpoint on humanity after working in the restaurant business.  I don't think that people's true character can be known until you know how they act towards people who are serving them (not just in a restaurant but anywhere really...Wal-Mart, the mall...etc.).  First of all, it's a job...just like any other job.  It's called the service industry, yes, and for a reason, we serve people.  But many occupations are included in the service industry.  Your doctor is in the service industry and you wouldn't talk to him the way you talk to a waitress.  Why?  Because he had to go to school and pay the big bucks to get where he is?  Because he has a higher degree?  But how do you know that your doctor wasn't a waiter to pay his med school loans?  I'm sure that there are those that have.  Your servers are people too.  I wonder if people realize the way that they are speaking to them.  I wonder if they understand how rude they come off.  I wonder if they purposely don't make eye contact?   

Rant over I guess.  Pay attention to the way that you talk to people.  You never know how that effects them.

Note to the world:  Christ has called us all to the service industry.  Who are you serving?

This Week = stress (in the beginning) = me probably failing my ConLaw midterm = not much sleep = me working twenty something hours this week

This Week = happiness (in the end) = me going home for a little while this weekend = me making mostly A's for midterm grades= me getting an apartment yesterday!!!! = March Madness starting = certain other schools being back from spring break on Sunday :)

I can't stop smiling. 

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.  It always protects, alwas trusts, always perseveres.  Love never fails.
