Some back story. I never really paid much attention to the rest of the world. When COVID happened in 2020, I started to pay attention. In 2021, I started to care. Now, for the entirety of 2022 I have just been sick of watching bad stuff happen on tv and not being able to do anything about it.

It just makes me so mad, when customers bitch about the most insignificant things (y'all know what I'm talking about). Having to wait an extra 3 minutes for your stuff because we're understaffed, not having an item because of shortages, so on and so on. It's like "People are getting slaughtered in the Ukraine right now, but screw it not having spinach feta wraps is the most detrimental thing in the world right now!".

I understand not everyone thinks like I do. I understand that people in less fortunate situations are not going to be thinking about stuff like that. I really do appreciate being in the fortunate situation I'm in to be thinking on this deep of a level.

I've made the decision (back in March) to join the Air Force to try and be a Pararescuemen(quick google search will tell you what that is if you don't know). The moto of that group is "These things we do, that others may live." It sums up perfectly what I've been trying to direct my life towards.

Until I get a date to go to boot camp, I'll be stuck with this company, dealing with these same feelings at work. I just wanted to vent to people who could understand what I'm feeling. I appreciate you all!
