Spanish is a useful language if live in the Southwest like I do and it is also fairly easy to learn. German is also fairly easy and has much more in common with English than people realize. Italian is a great language to learn if you are interested in music as a lot of musical terms are in Italian and is great if you an opera fan as well.

At my current job I make $15 an hour with some great benefits and still haven't reach top pay (it somewhere in the low to mid 20's) yet I am miserable. It is not that I am not grateful for what I do have but there is so much bullshit I have to put up with on my job and of course my injuries keep piling up which combined with the stress from the job is destroying me physically, mentally and emotionally it got so bad last year that it nearly drove me to suicide. I am strongly considering becoming a history teacher which is a profession which dosen't pay much at all but is one that I am very likely to enjoy because it is a subject I am passionate about and I would have the opportunity to make a difference in peoples lives.That is a goal that will take a while though so luckily I have some plans that if they succeed will make the rest of my stay in the grocery industry much more bearable which are described in this recent blogpost I made. http://mlpforums.com/blog/456/entry-13028-receiving-some-potential-good-news/ Money is great but what is the point of having it if you can't even enjoy it? I just want enough to where I am independent, can support myself and a family if I should choose to have one and maybe be able to get a few extras every now and then.

Actually it would be the entire backroom of the store which is actually not all that small or cramped. I would say by grocery store standards it is probably a mid sized back room. It is large enough to where it can fit multiple pallets of product both on the floor and up in the rafters. As Receiver one thing I will be responsible for should I get the job is using the power jack to both bring down and put back up pallets of product from the rafters. There is a sub room within the back room called the Receivers cage with a computer and several order guns which will be my go to place for supplies as well as to input the various information I need to in the computer in addition to being able to look up the buy sheets in the computer so I can probably plan things out.

This will be quite the rare blogpost from me, one where I talk about work without going into rant mode. As those of you who read my blog posts know I am a dairy clerk at a grocery store, not a fate I want to be lifelong but one I am stuck with at least for now. But I am being presented with an opportunity I may never get again if I do not seize it. I am strongly considering becoming a Receiver and because the current Receiver at my store is likely going to be retiring soon I have the best chance I may ever have to eventually take his place once he does decide to retire. For those that don't know, a Receiver is a back room manger. The Receiver is responsible for checking in all loads that come into the store during their shift, they count everything that comes in and log it into the computer. They are also responsible for signing in and out all delivery truck drivers and vendors/merchandisers as well as being responsible for all mark downs as well as keeping the back room clean and organized at all times. It is not an easy job by any means but it is one that I believe will greatly benefit me for the following reasons. 1. I will no longer have to deal with customers: I will be confined to the backroom all day which means that while I will have to deal with vendors and other employees I know exactly how to handle them. Because my current job also has me as a backup checker I often have to deal with the public which because I am the worst checker in that whole store results in a lot of frustration on both my part as well as the customers and a few misunderstandings that aren't my fault but still occasionally get me in trouble. 2. I will be significantly less likely to get another injury: because being a Receiver is much more mental than it is physical the odds of me getting another knee injury will go down to practically zero. 3. Better hours: I was at my happiest when I was first promoted and had 4AM shifts and with me being a Receiver I can have those sort of shifts once again so I can get work out of the way and have the rest of my day. My days off will also be fairly consistent with them nearly always being Wednesday and Sunday. With that kind of schedule I could plan a lot more during the day and get much more done. My hours will go up but despite that I will be able to make much more efficient use of my day. It is not something I am taking lightly and I of course am formulating backup plans in case it dosen't work out but I believe I will be much happier in such a position and better able to achieve my more long term goals.

Zaheer (Avatar the Legend of Korra) and Two Face (Batman) Like Zaheer I have strong opinions that are consider way outside the political mainstream and am willing to break a few rules if necessary. Of course the difference between me and him is that he uses violence to achieve his goals and I do not. And like Two Face I have long struggled between my light and dark sides though with Two Face his dark side seems to be winning the war even if his light side wins the occasional battle. The fact that he needs to flip a coin to make major decisions tells just how conflicted he really is.

I am not against electronic music but the way it is being used in many cases seems really lazy and much of it sounds the same. The "song" posted in the OP just sounds like random noise to me. If things like the "song" posted in the OP are the future than I prefer the past thank you very much.

My own list is relatively short but I would say the most important thing is values and by that I don't mean the kind where you judge and condemn everyone that you disagree with. What I mean I want someone who cares about someone other than themselves, I don't want to be involved with someone who is self absorbed and just goes about their merry way like the whole world revolves around them. I am not expecting perfection here because nobody has that, but I want that sense that they care about something bigger than themselves. I don't expect perfection, I am not looking for Mother Teresa here but it is what is inside that matters most to me.

Push: Rob Van Dam; he deserves much better than being a jobber for his return. Hire: Kaval; that guy had so much potential but he got so screwed. Fire: Bo Dallas; look up the word overhyped in the dictionary and this guys picture is in it and his rather annoying "inspirational" persona only makes it worse.

Carrots and Spinach both raw please and potatoes which are great boiled, barbequed, baked or fried.

I would have to say Capicolla which for those of you that don't know is an Italian cured ham. It is kind of expensive so it is an occasional treat. What is more common for me though is roast turkey or black forest ham.
