Yeah, I was totally singing along to Josie and The Pussycats.

Did what I hope is the final leg of my presentations to the Leads in the store and they seem to be all on board with my plans for organization and communication. Plus, it's not like they have much of a choice, but I did open the floor up for suggestions. Now its all up to everyone to work together to make my plan a successful one.

What's interesting about this is that if it doesn't work, it won't look like I failed, but rather the group as a whole failed. So its a win/win situation for me (or is that fail/fail?) in the sense that I took a gamble to create this plan, and I'm taking the gamble of placing my trust in my coworkers to carry out this plan, so if it works I win and if it doesn't work I still win because it wasn't my fault or that plan's fault due to the fact that I left it open with lots of wiggle room for adjustments.

Anyways, I shouldn't be looking at this as a win or lose type of deal, but rather as a system for success for everyone.

And again, I need to congratulate myself and accept the praise from my bosses and peers for a job well done instead of thinking I could do better (even though I could do so much better).

Day 6: Three small steps that could change the world.

 Ok before I get too deep into today's topic, the first thing that popped into my head was this song:


Such an underrated movie, completely misunderstood (it was a satire, not a comedy). Plus I had a big crush on Rachael Leigh Cook, who didn't actually?

Alright, three things that could change the world.

1) Renewable energy
2) A universal healthcare system
3) A redistribution of wealth, which in doing so will help pay for government programs to benefit everyone and not just the 1%.

And now I sound like a socialist.

I also realize that these are not three small steps, but rather incredibly large ones, but unless we plan on changing the world, we gotta think big to make an impact.
Sure you can start off small, but we all have to have the same goal, if not we're wasting our time.

And  by looking at the state of this country, we are so wasting it.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
