31. Welcome to my world... all are welcome... come into the light
I used to work for the heir to a distillery fortune... ran my ass ragged with investment management duties AND duties with their indie film production company... calls at all hours, ridiculous requests for anything from how the bananas will be cut on the fruit tray for their private jet flight to calling from the other side of the world in the middle of the night to change itinerary plans. Part of the job was keeping up on corporate AND Hollywood news.

I can proudly say I've never watched American Idol and don't give a rat's butt who wins... don't care who is dating who, who is having a baby, plastic surgery, etc.

I have a new job and I don't have to be anyone but myself, don't have to kiss anyone's ass... heaven:)

I still have to work under the blue lighting, but I'm much happier with a new set of priorities. And the boss knows if one of my kids call, or my SO, or I have something special I want to do, I'm outta here. I work hard for him and he supports my private life.

I'm so sick of pretentious assholes... I'll never, ever let myself take a job like that again. And when I see pretentious behavior, I treat that person like the two-year-old child they are.

I've worked for billionaires more than once and I can tell you, all the fancy homes, cars, private jets, private chefs and designer clothes in the world don't make you a better person and most likely it will make you quite the opposite. And when it's your time to leave this plane, you go. No amount of money, status or class warrior tactics will lengthen your stay here.

Best wishes to you and your awakening... life is what you make it. Make it a good one!
