Photo by Jen WongI'm very tempted to make a sandwich just to take a picture of a sandwich for my blog. After some thinking, I decided that doing that would be a little weird. Instead, here's a picture of a deviled egg. I made some deviled eggs yesterday because I was bored.
Do you like sandwiches?
I guess it's a weird question to ask a person, but I guess it's been on my mind a lot. I don't really like sandwiches unless they're deli made, or someone makes it & it's super yummy. I also don't put cheese in my sandwiches. Am I really that strange? I know the topic seems pretty off, but as I was making sandwiches for Kevin the other day, I had a realization. Is a sandwich like a resume?
A person has their name & contact info- the two pieces of bread. From there, the person adds their education, work experience, extra curricular activities, and references- meat, cheese, vegetables, condiments. Each sandwich is different, and only certain sandwiches stand out. Does that mean each one of us are employers? Employers pick employees based on what's in their sandwich. This kind of scares me. Does that mean there are people there they won't pick me because of my resume? Because I'm a crappy sandwich? I have nothing good to put in my sandwich, and it's really sad because one day I'll have to get a job- a real job.
Speaking of jobs, I have orientation again for my summer job at the uniform store this week. I'm kind of nervous I guess, but so much has changed this past year, and I'm going to try my best this summer. If you've followed my blog from the beginning, I mention a lot of my insecurities at work, but I really want to change this summer. I'll be different. I'll succeed this time. I also had a realization that I need money. I feel kind of stupid for saying that & thinking that, because technically I really don't need money. I really hate how materialistic some people are, and I'm afraid I'm just turning into another one of those people. Money's been on my mind a lot though, but I'll save those thoughts for another entry.
Huh, what an interesting metaphor. I've never thought about sandwiches as people but you do make a good point. I'm like you, I only like sandwiches from a deli. For some reason they taste better. Don't worry Jen, you'll be fine at work! I think you should just work hard and do your best, I know that sounds cliche but that's all you really can do. Haha I know I'm super materialistic, but at least you're aware of it! It's hard not to be materialistic in a world like this.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I LOVE sandwiches..but they have to be toasted Italian subs from Subway or Schlotzky's sandwiches in Texas! And Panini sandwiches are also pretty good...because of the melted cheese. But you don't like cheese. Alas! :/ That's okay! :P Hehe..anyway I think about food way too much! And it's not that you need money, it's just the reality of responsibilities you have to take care of in life and the people that you have eventually have to take care of in life. I've come to realize I spend way too much money on things that I don't need, but I'm trying hard not to covet other people's possessions and be content with the abundance of things I do have. Oh, and what is the uniform store? I know you'll be great! Don't worry too much, making money will help you learn how to manage it and be more responsible. Growing sucks...don't rush into it! ;) hehe...have a good week Jen! ^.^
