One humbling experience

This beauty of having freelancer shifts, sometimes I really do not know what I will end up doing. Today for sure I was caught by surprise.
But before I start to mention my working day, let me tell you guys that I have been following Wim Hoff breathing technique, if you don’t know what is it, I strongly advise you to google it, or YouTube doesn’t matter, same company, same bullshit! And I am doing this technique that requires approximately 11 minutes and 30 seconds (for the ones who didn’t get it … Yes, it was a joke) one time before I go to sleep, and another when I wake up. It’s my fifth day in a row, and I am witnessing some mood changing, and a more productive brain in the morning (not that I really need my brain at the moment). But well, I am going to try this for 30 days, without any expectations, but curious for the result.

Moving on, after adding this, so far, an amazing technique to my morning routine, I had to rush with my cat (Pixel), to cut his balls off, we couldn’t handle the harassment he imposed to my other cat (Jinx) and finally, after 6 months of witnessing such abusement, we decided it was enough! Yes, here in this house, wear take some time to take action, sometimes we are waiting for some divine help. When we realize that help is not coming any time soon then we take action… Ai ai ai, well better later than never!
Moving forward, after rushing to take my cat to the vet and luckily enough to not escape the rain, of course, all over my face once again, here I am in this new place called Intratuin (apparently “interior garden” in Dutch), yeah I know these guys still want me to learn their language…
Without knowing what I was going to do, I have assembled a task that consisted in the delivery of shopping trolleys for every single client in the store (corona measure), my immediate thought was “ Damn, I hope my studies really give me anything, I really don’t see a bright future for me..” But well, I was there, so let’s take this responsibility and see the benefits of it.

First, I will be the first impression of the store, so better put a smiley face and give some positivity to these people, for eight hours, daaaamn eight hours!

Second, I thought to wait a minute I am learning marketing, and super into it, let’s observe (not in a creepy way) people behaviour, and how much will they consume… I can say that I took a lot of conclusions, but decided to keep all for myself.

Third, I imagine myself providing a social work where I was actually being super useful and avoiding the spread of a lethal virus … For moments, I really felt like a superhero!

All of this, to merely say, regardless the situation you are in, being humble and accept the situations you are in, always makes the process easy and nobody needs to take with your shit, so better smile and put a happy face and think about better days, but today and this moment you are here and better make the best of it.
So, I am super glad about the outcome and even had a guy saying that God will bless me with a gift, I am still kindly waiting for it, better you not lying.
Again, thank you very much for whoever reads this and gives a fuck, if don’t I couldn’t care less!
