Considering the Options
For a week that has started out a little persnickety, telemarketers and evil email, I have to admit for a moment I actually romanticized the notion of taking a job in a fast food restaurant. I could easily leave my work behind every day that I walked out the door of said foodery. There might even be health insurance involved.
Then I did the typical smug thing and accused myself of sarcasm and righteousness, with a huge bit if ego thrown in to boot. There are times when I feel pretty brilliant at what I do; it seems akin from getting a calling from God. Mourning the idea that I would be letting humanity down, I also blew this off, sighed and went on clicking entrecards. How snitty is that? (By the way, no offense to the fast food workers of the world. Most of you I respect highly and am impressed with the patience you must gain from working with the public).
However, my partner was not about to let me revel in high-minded foolishness. He reminded me that if I got down off my high horse, there is a chance that I would still seriously end up serving humanity if I got a job at a foodery, perhaps more so. I have a bit of a counseling background (not much, but some) and I have always been the person people talk to about their troubles and I have the annoying habit of being a problem solver. Why would that change? Now I just know more.
It was an interesting idea and it humbled me. It is a totally new way to look at life.
But, for all you hypnotists who were breathing a sigh of relief that I would be out of the competition game (who me, compete?), I still have plans to continue on, as I am, the transparent hypnotist.

I believe we all have those days! I love what I do, I too, feel I am meant to do this thing called hypnosis. It is a love affair for me. That being said, there are days I call my WalMart Days. I fantasize about being a greeter, smiling at everyone who enters and at the end of the day, I collect my pay and go home to leave the business concerns to someone else. Like you, it is a brief fantasy, usually jolted by a client that makes me cry with joy and I am back to what I love.

Thank God. It is good to know that someone like you (whom I consider impressive) has similar days. I had not considered Walmart (that’s way stressful -LOL).
