I have began a new stage in life today. At 34 years old, I've been doing the same kind of job for almost 15 years. Being a cook did have its perks. I never had to worry about weather there would be work available because as Lon as there people around, there will be cooks needed. I just couldn't ever find a place that valued my skills, my loyalty or my hard work and as a result, I never stayed at one resturaunt for very long. That looks bad on ANY resume. So, after a lot of thinking and after a few pep-talks from myself reminding myself that I can do anything I want to if I try hard enough, I finally quit the kitchens. Believe it or not, its a hard thing to do not to g slap a few applications down at the local eatry because I know the work is there and that its easy. The whole point though is to stay away from resturaunts entirely.
       I am a live-in care taker for a disabled Army veteran, its why I don't have to pay bills like a normal person. That's all it does though. I never have any money to spend on things I want and I never have enough money to put gas in my car and just go wherever I want. So here I am beginning a new chapter in my life. I don't want to get rich, I don't want to be famous, (I wouldnt be mad thought if that happened) I just want to take a road trip to Colorado whenever I want to without having to pimp my cooking skills, which are prolific, out for minimum wage .
