I had these feelings before…

When I worked as a Prime Shopper or Guest Experience Representative.

Or as a Whole Food’s dishwasher.

I feel like my time is worth more than directing fans to the box office, helping fans connect to wifi, and watching the game on the screen.

Troubleshooting loading your tickets:

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Connect to XfinityChaseCenter wifi.
  3. Fill out the form.
  4. Kill the Warriors + CC app.
  5. Start the app up again.
  6. View your tickets.

I feel I’m worth more than my current position.

And if I gotta get right, will I?

In terms of diet, career paths, will I?

If I really wanted to be a marketer, I bet I could do decent.

But I literally think I can do anything I put my mind, and heart in.

These things don’t drive me or give me happiness.

I wanna be on some Dave Chapelle sh*t!

My terms-My time-My place

If it don’t make you tick, you done.

I create positive work environments.

I’m not the only one on Instagram after work, at 12 am because I feel alone.

Situation: Minimum wage sf worker, commutes from Hayward, Diplegic Cerebral Palsy, always dreamed of being in the Golden State Warriors organization.

Complication: I want to be able to do things on my terms, my time, and my place.

Question: How will I be able to do things on my terms, my time, and my place?

Answer: Work for myself (my own business), invest, and have corporate partnerships.

I’m falling asleep at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday, learning about social media channels.

I haven’t been in Whole Foods in over a year.

The last time I was in a Whole Foods, I was a Prime Shopper.

I see only one shopper staging items for Amazon Prime.

Why work here? Money. Work experience.

Now, I come to buy dairy and gluten free cookie dough for a holiday party.

I remember team members from 2 years ago, still working there.

When I began working at Whole Foods, we didn’t have self-checkout. (11.10.19)

All I’m wondering at parties nowadays is how are you livin’?

Not that interested in wine, high noons, P-Lo, or jello shots…

I’ll share a full sampler of beer with friends tho.
