Perspective.

Life's all about disappointments.

Yesterday I worked a five hour shift. No complaining, it was pretty uneventful. Nothing too extreme or out of the norm for the standard McDonald's shift.

Today, Boston was bombed.

No one knows why, and two people have died so far, with 141 others injured.

Like I said, life's full of disappointments.

A friend of mine was actually at the bombing in Boston, not in the middle of it, but a close enough witness to this horrible tragedy.

Today, my fellow McDonald's employee said a woman yelled at her because their wasn't a sufficient amount of whipped cream on her shamrock shake. Is it disappointing? Maybe, for a moment.

In the grand scheme of things, none of this matters. McDonald's, and your experience dining at one of the millions of fast food locations, doesn't matter. Your life can be taken away in a moment, are you going to spend it yelling at the part time teenage workers at a fast food chain?

Food for thought.
