Tim Davis, Jamba Juice, being sick So its about 10 A.M. and I have been sick the last 24 hrs, you know the same old average cold with a sore throat from who knows where. I woke up this morning actually feeling worse than last night. I wanted something cold and soothing for my throat, so I got their “coldbuster”, which is basically a mango/orange/lots of goodness fruit smoothie with boosters of vitamins and yada yada yada. Well it is soothing for my throat as I sit here and type this, but thats not the point I want to make.

I was there sitting for a while waiting for this one guy to make the juices, I’m thinking to myself this guy is working by himself, this is taking forever! So I’m sitting there… “Give me something cold for my throat already”.

Then the door from the back swings open and this girl comes marching out with an attitude (of course nose piercings, dread locks, the whole 9 yards), she goes marching up starts blending some of the drinks, speed walks over to the sink with this obviously new girl following her around like a puppy. You can totally tell that she is being trained. She tells her how to wash the blenders etc., she is completely abrasive with this new girl that just started, I felt bad for the new girl.

So regardless that I am sick, I don’t have it that bad because I could sleep in, not have to call in sick to anyone, not get bossed around by a scary girl, come back and enjoy my drink while writing this and go back to sleep. That is really not that bad of a deal at all. I love being self employed and “working” a.k.a. playing on the internet and getting paid for it! I am extremely glad today that I put myself out there and went out of my comfort zone to learn a new skill set in order to not only have financial freedom, but just as importantly time freedom. Thanks to all the great people that I work with online, you know who you are, you are greatly appreciated here. Remember when you think you have it bad and times are hard, that it could always be worse, and that you really don’t have it that bad!
