Topical brain scan

Happiness, Friendship, Energy drinks and Tech jealousy.
When someone is not happy does that mean it is your job to do everything in your power to help them become happy? I have decided that this goes in the "not my job" category.
Energy drinks have become a large part of my work routine and I am hoping to review a few over the next little while.
Just downloaded an application to my phone that will allow me to be a more consistent blog poster. Hope my 3 readers are as happy about this as I am.

Random topics.

Topics on the top of my brain. Bars, Therapy, Gardening and Work.
I have never gotten the Bar mentality. I don't visit them to drink and I don't visit them to socialize. The few times I have been in a bar when not there with a purpose such as the band I was hanging out with a long while ago I have gotten an overwhelming sense of desperation from the act. The idea of going to a place to drink enough alcohol to make the other desperate people there seem more attractive has never appealed to me. I am not a bar person. I much prefer a coffee shop atmosphere or an all night diner vibe.
Therapy is interesting. The counselor I am seeing seems to think that I am doing well and that the majority of my issues are external. The people around me need help in her opinion. I see that but I also enjoy the idea of being able to talk to someone without having my every choice or decision called into question and picked apart. I like me. I like the me that is here today and the me that is growing from the choices and decisions I am making.
The garden is not progressing very quickly because the person that has taken it over does not have a great deal of time right now. Hopefully she will be able to do more soon. I would also like to see her to find out if there are any small things I can do to help the progress.
Work... Fun, low stress for the most part and mentally unchallenging. I deliver pizza and help customers for the most part. The cleaning and maintenance of the store is just a side note that has to be done. I make a fair amount in tips that covers the discrepancy in the paycheck most times. I do not make minimum wage but it is enough. The crew I am working with now is decent with one exception on either end. Boss dude is a great manager. Patient, appreciative and willing to work WITH you to get things done. Other end of the spectrum is the guy that is at the core a child. The idea that drugs are an appropriate subject of conversation while working, that selling them is also an appropriate thing to do from work and that it is my problem that I think they are not. I agree, that is my problem but I do not think that I should have to pretend to like a person that has no respect for me or anyone else that works there. If this person gets caught the entire store gets in trouble. I can't afford to lose my job because of one moron.
Those are the topics rolling around my head right now.
Journey in peace.
