This morning I was listening to a local radio show, Chris & Mel in the morning…funny people. I flip radio stations because I am a music lover with ADD, once the song is over or even once I’m bored with it, I’m on to the next station unless I’m interested in the conversation. Which I’m not usually.
Today though, they struck a nerve with me. I am really getting tired of seeing tip cups in certain places. If you make minimum wage, and I’m not talking about waitress minimum wage, but if you make over $5.00 – 6.00 an hour, I’m probably not going to tip you unless you’re bringing food to my door. Yes, I tip the pizza person, nicely too. And waitstaff, very nicely.
I’ll drop a $5 tip on a $12 tab if it’s just me and I didn’t have to ask for anything, that’s service I don’t even get at home. Yep, I’ll pay for it.
On the radio they were discussing tipping for maid service in hotels. I think that when you sign all your crap for your room, they should make mention of the maid service and how they’re paid, if it’s up to you to make they’re living for them they should let you know that.
A lady called in and she and Chris agreed that you choose your job. This is where I totally had a moment and wanted to call in, but I have this so it’s better. 
I totally think you choose your job and you can make your life better and move up the ladder. Trust me, I used to work in a gas station after high school. I’ve worked my way into the medical field and now into the legal field, it is possible you just can’t be an idiot.
I’ve seen tip cups at A&W where all they do is grab your food off of a line and stick it in a bag. Come on!
What do you think about all this, is tipping going too far?

I vowed not to forget this week and seven hours ago wrote the title….and that’s all I’d done on this post until just now. I was working on a site for work. So now I’ve taken a break from that so that I can put this up here for you lovely ladies.
Some of you may be getting dizzy with all the design changes, I just can’t seem to find one I like, this one will do for now.
The Big Give was a show I wanted to share with you guys on Monday morning that’s coming on again tonight (Sunday), should be a really good one!
On Tuesday I whined a little about Climbing the Ladder because of a stressful day. Yeah, poor me right? I should be glad I have a job.
Wednesday I asked if You Choose Success or if it chooses you, lots of opinions on that one…
Thursday we talked about not following the crowd because we lose ourselves in trying to be like others.
Friday I whined some more. I’ll try to hold that crap back more, had a rough week, sorry. 
Yesterday I asked you all to Vote for My Tramp Stamp and several of you did, thank you all very much. I’ll be updating that post soon with a picture of the tat on my shoulder, I just didn’t have one yesterday to share with you.
Then later yesterday I penned the first poem I’ve written in years. I surprised myself with that one.
Hope you enjoyed this week’s posts and will stick around for more, feel free to go and have your say on any and all of them.
If you liked this post don’t miss anymore!
Tune in tomorrow, same channel!

Never one to give myself a second look
Entertain the possibility
That maybe I’d catch the eye
Of someone else
Naive and unaware
You were watching me
With those eyes so curious
What lies beneath my thoughts and goals
Has surprised you
These eyes look forward
To the doors coming up ahead
To you I’m a curiosity
An idea that forms in your head
A person to conquer
You quest for realism in my dream world
You bring my dreams down
Picking over them with your words
You stand back in mock surprise
When my nature shows it’s wild
Crying hurt and innocent
After the drama you created
Behind these eyes is a fire
Like none you’ve ever seen
Flames that swallow me
Burn bridges not meant to be
Shooting spears of stereotyped words
Expecting them to pierce me
Using my own historical pain to punch me
Right where you think it might hurt
I am stronger than you’ve ever been
I am weaker than you’ll ever be
But neither feeling belongs to you
They are those you’ll never see
My struggle is within
You bring yours to my front door
Thinking yours is mine as well
But I can’t be the warrior anymore
I’ve been where there is to be
I’ve seen what there is to see
Memories are a motion picture to me
In the back of my eyes I always see
Push me harder and just get meaner
You know I come from sin
Say things you know nothing about
You could become what might’ve been
