You readers are in for a special treat! For the first time in a while I have made 2 posts on consecutive days. That's right, before you even had a chance to read my previous post I'm hitting you up with another one. Lucky you.
First off in regards to my summer goals:
1) bench press 185 pounds (I've done it...but today I dropped it)
2) curl 105 pounds (95 pounds twice...105 negatives)
3) gain -15 pounds. (i've given up on this one...)
4) learn a new programming language (css becoming a lot more readable to me...as you can tell from my blog)
5) drink bubble tea with friends and introduce at least 5 people to t'licious
(reintroduced 2 people)
Anyways this post is meant to be a reality check. For all of those who have been living in this dream world for the (insert floating point # here) (insert unit of time here) and now have hit a low point which you haven't experienced in quite some time. Welcome to life. Life isn't meant to be perfect. Sure there are high points, but those high points are only rewards for getting through the hard times in life, and going from the high life to rock bottom is the most difficult part in life. However, one can only get stronger by sucking up and dealing with it. I feel that this is the difference between successful people and deadbeats. Successful people can deal with hardships and deadbeats just keep on whining about how much their life sucks and don't do anything about it. And when I say successful I don't mean financially wise, I mean happiness wise.
I got totally side-tracked so I'll stop it at that.
Point is, do not live in the past when everything was so great, one will not grow that way. Learn from the hardships and mistakes and move on.
That is what I have learned. I have learned that computer science is not for me. I am good at programming, the camaraderie among other comp sci majors is great and I thought I would really enjoy it once I got out of school, but then I take this ING Direct internship and I see what a lot of comp sci majors do...and I don't like it. I dread going to work everyday cause everyday is the same old shit...look at the monitor and watch for something to break. Other people rack servers and make sure they are running smoothly, others make sure people can get their email. It's quite boring. The other interns have learned something practical to their studies, but the most important thing I got out of this is that this is NOT what I want to do for the rest of my life. And I realized why I did collections for 3 years and why collections was the only job I've ever had prior to this. It was because it was what I was meant to do. Maybe not collections in general, but to help people earn money, get out of debt, help them become successful financially and emotionally, that is what I really want to do. And it took a job that I thought would be better than collections to show me that.
Thanks ING Direct.
Hope this made sense to everybody.

While I think you may be the only person to ever say that ever, I see what you mean. More power to you.

read on son...i didn't say i wanted to do collections...
Yea I know. I was just thought it was different for somebody to actually see their experience as a collector and draw a positive from it.
