Like Gavin Degraw, I don't wanna be anything other than what I been tryin' to be lately.

Today I ventured out to Wal-mart. As I was browsing through the Health and Beauty aisles, I was approached by a woman who asked if she could take a minute of my time. I probably grimaced as I politely said yes. The first thing she asked me was what I did for a living. After telling her I was a waitress, she explained that she was with the Mary Kay Leadership Program and would like to give me her card. Remember Mary Kay? The gaudy makeup, the pink cars, and every aunt and cousin and friend from church peddling that crap and trying to give you make overs. I'm sure they must have tried to update their image for the twenty-first century sometime in the last few years, but still, eww no. She continued that most people only think of the sales side of Mary Kay and don't really think of the leadership side. I am of the opinion that one shouldn't try to lead something that they've never even done themselves. In other words, I want absolutely nothing to do with what this lady's saying. However, I'm being polite and it can't hurt to take her card. But instead of handing me a card, she pulls out some paper and asks for my phone number so she can call me and talk all about Mary Kay leadership to me. At this point, I politely apologized and explained that I didn't want to give my phone number out. Her response? "Well, have fun being a waitress." And then she took her cart and huffed off. Out of the Wal-mart makeup aisle. All I could think was, "Wow. I just got passive aggressively dissed by the Mary Kay lady." So this is what it's come to.
