Hardships of reality.

First off, before I begin this, I just want you guys to know that my last blog entry was more directed towards those who are intentionally ignoring me. So if I've been recently speaking to you, but if you're unable to reply because your real life is getting in the way, I understand. Just, don't take it the wrong way.

With that out of the way, I'd like to talk about the hardships that reality brings, specifically to me. Most of my hardships come from my workplace, which is at a bloody McDonald's restaurant... At least half of the time, they have me doing the cooking over at their kitchen, which is where all the pressure is at. Lately, I've been doing a great job trying to keep up with the assembly line, but even so, a lot of times they end up asking for hamburger meat on a near constant basis. Normally, that doesn't bother me much - far from it, it actually keeps me busy, & thus the time will go by faster. In all honesty, it only really becomes a problem when the person assigned to the meat cabinets either leaves empty trays inside of them, or they end up taking meat from more than one tray at a time. Both of those are big no-nos, as I won't know that these people will need more of the meat until they take out multiple empty trays. What really gets me is, that sometimes, they leave all the epmty trays inside one after the other, so when it comes that they're needing meat from me, it's because they're already out of that particular item. In any case, it makes my job tougher than it needs to be. On top of all that, I've got people up front that ask me for baked desserts, namely the pies & cookies, on a regular basis. The pressure really starts to mount when the people at the front are asking me for pies, but at the same time, the assembly line keeps asking for meats constantly. In these situations, I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle, if not a losing war.

Frankly, if it were up to me, I'd be content to just keep the living space that we're in as clean & neat as possible, cook for the others that do work after they come home, & clean dishes after dinner-time. Once everything is finished, I go to my gaming sessions. That would be my ideal life-style, but are they happy about what I'm doing at home?

Nope. They say that I've got to have a paying job. Thus, that's the reason why I'm stuck at my current workplace.

After some thought, I realized that I've only got myself to blame for this, since I refused to learn how to drive a motor vehicle after hearing what other people are doing out in the streets & highways, & that I've barely managed to graduate my High School by the skin of my teeth. With further education becoming more & more of a necessity, our society is approaching the point in which our futures hinges on this binary action: Succeed in college or university, or kill yourself trying, as if one doesn't try to get further education outside of high school, one's chances are looking very grim.

So, each & every day, I'm looking to escape those hardships that this reality brings to me. Video games, PokéCommunity, Skype, YouTube, & the internet in general are my means of escaping the hardships. The bad thing about them? They're only temporary - once my time is up, those hardships are back.

The sad thing is, even though I've got all of those, in addition to those friends that I've grown fond of: Amanda T., Jo a.k.a. Alexial, among others...

In spite of all the good things in my life, it'll only be a matter of time before the pressures of reality become too much for me to handle, & thus I'll end up seeking a more... permanent means of escaping the reality & it's hardships...

Thank you for seeing me as someone you can trust. It really means a lot to me. Also, I understand what you're going through, my friend. Even if you think I actually don't, I'd really like to understand. Let's talk about this when we see each other on Skype.
