Work started yesterday. I wasn't in the mood to be there. But payperiods and orientation only happen every so often, so my friend Jeff encouraged me to suck it up and just come in.

But today, after finally going to sleep and getting a fresh start, I came in, and yes, i realize now that I am actually an employee of the government of the United States of America.

Since I work for the Department of Health and Human Services, I'm really at the center of where everyone who needs human services is at. At the cafeteria, a sight impaired man is the cashier. It put a whole new perspective on who those people really are. When we go to pay, we have to tell them exactly what we have ordered, and then tell them what amount of money we're giving him. It seems so simple and so easy to lie... but, can you really bring yourself to lie to a blind man? And knowing how karma works.. he probably has some acute hearing senses and can tell when a person is lying.

It just showed me how sensitive we should be to those other people that aren't just average people. Ramps, brail, vibrations... everything that we see and then wonder what's the big deal... well... when you see it and put two and two together... you really feel glad we mad it a big deal.
