ELLA

bueno que decir si vos sabes que me tienes loco
me matas con cada mirada
my vida pendiente en cada mirada
cada palabra
pero que te puedo decir
si tu lo sabes todo

Strange but true

I am currently looking for work, and as I attempt to land with a good company, I cant help but notice the inequalities in pay between some profesions.
For instance an armed security guard is making $10 an hour but a barista.(overhyped coffee maker can make up to $15)

It just makes me wonder were our priorities are:

If your Barista has a bad day well you get bad coffee, but if your armed security guard has a bad day you get dead.
I would think that people would want more qualified people to carry weapons,or at least be more concerned with the mental and social well beign of those who carry weapons.
I would think you want to make the guy with the gun as happy as possible?
Or why would you temp fate and have a guy on the poverty line just strugling to get by bearly making it.
Just think about it if you made $10 an hour could you survive, can you live a happy
healthy life?
His dating life allready hampered by the fact that he is a security guard is probably not helped by the low income. So now what you have is an underpaid, undersexed, lonely guy with a loaded gun and a badge (granted fake plastic badge) or what I call a recepie for disaster.

But we dont care ...
I guess we just keep playing russian roulette until one day we push to far and our under paid overstressed security guard puts a cap in our ass.
Than I bet you wished we had payed the lonely guard a little more.

In the mean time why dont you just have some coffee and relax..
In a world that is getting stranger by the day..
