That's a funny question, hon...What"s next? That's a funny question, honestly, insofar as it's awfully presumptuous. I have no idea, and frankly, neither does anyone else. We have enough to worry about with what is, without even considering what if.Alex Beecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903373025698480314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467998390384387670.post-39910242564946165022012-04-10T07:23:46.774-05:002012-04-10T07:23:46.774-05:00"Did you graduate from college?"
- "..."Did you graduate from college?"<br />- "Yeah, I did."<br />*Pause*<br />"So...are you just waiting for 'what's next'?"<br /><br />(The single most offensive comment I heard while working for 4 years as a barista). The customer is lucky they delivered it to my co-worker/friend at the time and not me. <br /><br />Of all my "real jobs", being a barista was the most rewarding and enjoyable. If it paid enough, I would go back to it. <br /><br />Everyone looks down on manual/skilled labor as undesireable work for under-acheiving, failures. That is...until something breaks and they need their car fixed / plumbing repaired / trash taken out / "freedom defended" / coffee made / etc. etc. <br /><br />Capitalism creates such a funny hierarchy of false importance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
