Dream About My Past Job

I think it is time for me to release this memory by sharing this in my blog. I don't work for this company anymore since 1999 and of course I won't mention the name of the company. I think by letting out my frustration in writing will finally keep this dream from occurring.

I used to work for this gift shop. One of the managers that my mom knew, gave me the recommendation to work for them in starting position. Anyway, I started with one of the gift shops and that one was one of the best group of coworkers I ever had. In the 5 years I worked for them, I was transferred 3x. One was a request.

It was the last gift shop location where I had problems with. The people who were the same ethnic group did not like me one bit because I do not share their old country mentality and they all live in the City of Carson. I did my best to get along after work but it is usually the same pretentious attitude.

The sad part is they did not like the fact that my closest friends were the Chinese, Korean and Japanese people at my work. Actually I like people outside my race because I don't have to deal with the bs and formalities of trying to fit into a mold of an ethnic group.

One of my old supervisors two of them older did not like me one bit. I used to work as a part time travel agent and instead of supporting my small business, he went directly to my superior and left me high and dry. The other older supervisor accused me of not transferring on paper merchandise that was supposed to go to one of the satelite store. He blamed me and the female supervisor did not fess up that she screwed up and I was the one to blame. I guess he wanted me to be written up for it.

Anyway, the dream was about that same supervisor that blamed me for something I did not do wrong. I saw myself working for them in the same workplace. I know in real life I will never work for them. I actually quit on this job in real life. I did not like the office politics that was going around. Since 1999, off and on, I've been getting dreams about this particular gift shop.

I think by sharing this and releasing it in public view will finally let this go and I will move forward knowing that I will not look back on the what if's or why people are trying to come back from my past. There are people I will not talk to regarding my past. There is nothing for me to do with them. Nothing. They did what they did and I have things I want to work on like my advertising.

Athena

Thinking of this woman that reminds me of Athena. Much taller than me. Tall women are cool. This particular one is slowly coming into my circle. Not sure if she is ready to take me seriously in a relationship. The nice thing about dating is not having expectations and to learn more about the opposite sex. It gives me a chance to just talk and listen. Learning about someone takes time. We see things the way people are. We want to be their support in their business and their life's activities. We do need someone who will take the jump into business. Not afraid of risks. Understanding that risk is part of life. Being stagnant in a job or career we don't love or enjoy is like not watering plants when they need water. What I admire about Athena is she is constantly on the go. You see her in one place smiling and driving off to another place. It's like a bird's feather that travels from beach to palm tree. If you are reading this Athena, let me know when we go out for milk tea or coffee or chai.

Stale

I visited a small cafe. I ordered food and a drink. I noticed people coming in. I was immersed in reading of a story. I realized as I drive back and forth in this busy street, people miss this cafe. Signs are posted to this cafe. You have friendly staff and tasty food. Something was missing. Word of mouth? Ads? Coupons? Management? Ghosts? Decor is somewhat tasteful but something is missing? An airy vibe to the place would definitely bring more customers? How does that work? A thought into the people that bring their energy to a place. People like vibrant energy. Stale energy comes from people who are rushed, stressed and not grounded in some way. To push energy away you need a water bottle with water and sea salt. Another way to bring energy is to bring vibrant people who can really bring good energy to a place. Just check out places where people are laughing, loud and really enjoying themselves. That is a good sight to see.

Is it real?

After going through alot of disappointments in dating, I wonder whether these women I flirt with are actually interested in me or it is just a dream. Learning the difference between their actions and what they say is the most important thing to note.

If women I know reading my blog, let me ask you this question: If you are really interested in dating me, what action would you take to show me that you are really interested and wanting to date.

Options:

- Ask me out for coffee or a non alcoholic drink.

- I am a cheap date so don't expect me to flash money to impress you.

- We can buy bottled drinks at Whole Foods, Lazy Acres or Trader Joes.

Even if we have some sort of communication, your actions and really asking me out and taking the time to spend time with me means something. I don't expect a perfect date. I want a woman that is real and just want to go out and see where this goes.
