A New Beginning

"Hello and welcome!
This space is going to be used as a step by step account of my idea/dream to open a lunch spot.

Throughout my life I have always been a person who has observed others doing things that they truly did not enjoy, and felt an obligation to stay with. This can be translated to many things relationships, work, careers, homes etc. I am concentrating on the work/career area. I have been in a job that I like but do not love, many people would say well you may want too much. "You have a good job decent benefits, pay is sub-par at best, but it's relatively secure and you have good hours Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, what more do you want?" I say you are correct and on the surface it may look exactly like this. Scratch the surface just a little and this it what you will find: I work a second job to make just enough money to be able to do the slightest extras, take my beautiful fiance out to eat, purchase groceries that are at my standard of living, purchase clothes and that is about it. Back to my original job I run an audio visual department at a college. These duties are various in nature and range from theater sound production to setting up a T/v vcr in a classroom. Not to mention the minutiae of running a department in the educational system, hiring/firing of employees, organizing a budget that varies in dollar amount from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands, dealing with instructors, staff, and administrators that do not always have a handle of what is needed and what certain things take in way of preparation and attention to detail. So you may find yourself saying you don't have it so bad buddy what are you complaining about. That very statement is what I am complaining about, that very attitude that we all have it tough, exactly! What happens over time to us that have to deal with things that are tough or that we deem to be tough, we began to lose sight of what we want and desire, we may escape with booze, drugs, vacations, sex fleeting moments of things that make us feel good. Why do we have to be far removed from enjoyment 80% of the time? We get it when we can. I'm tired of knowing that if I died tomorrow that my job would be filled within a month's time and the new person would do a fine job replacing me maybe even better then I do! Well this is my motivation to attempt something that is my own from start to finish, be it a success or a big flop, it's mine!"
