Burrito War is Getting Ugly in Arlington


Burrito War
Originally uploaded by joy and pain.

We all know I am wishy washy. And I mean that going to Baskin Robbins poses a challenge to me as I have too many choices. I can't do it and it stresses me out. My parents like to point that out whenever we pass one, because I pissed them off as a kid whenever we went there because it took 20 minutes for me to pick out a flavor. And then I'd be mad cause I'd get something stupid like bubble gum ice cream. And have a dilema about if I should save the gum...or swallow it. What are you supposed to do with it? Get an extra cup to spit it out and then eat it afterward? AND the gum was rock hard cause it was frozen. So you have the dilema of what to chew and what to save, and you have to weigh options like teeth over that 2 seconds of enjoyment with the gum...I always started chewing it while chowing down on the ice cream...and I'd swallow it on accident. I'd have a pained look on my face while concentrating hard not to swallow the gum, which backfired. And my Dad told me that gum stays in your stomach for 7 years after you swallow it, so it should be all out by now, since I haven't touched the stuff in ages. I hope they got rid of that flavor. But if I worked at Baskin Robbins I'd totally upsell the bubble gum ice cream. That'll teach those rug rats about choices and how you should always get plain old chocolate. Anyways...segueing to work.

So, it's happening again with work. I am perfect when it comes to telling other people what to do with their lives, but piss poor at my own.
I am divided between the world of burritos and drunken sots...I have my friends telling me to move on and go bartend or serve. Valid point. I really miss the bartending, and serving would be a brainless job for me at this point. No stress. But I have the burrito peeps telling me to stick it out, help is on the way, things are going to be great in a week or two...
What to do...If I stuck it out and treated this as a "career" I could be doing district management/corporate stuff down the road. But I mean down the road...DOWN the road like all the way to China, but I can't quit jobs every 6 months like I am 16 and feel I should stick it out for the advancement.

So...I will continue to bitch in hopes that I will get 31 options available and then the choices will really kill me, but hopefully I can get a cherry on top and maybe some sprinkles, but no stupid bubble gum.
