Do you ever want time to yourself? To have peace, quiet, and serenity with no technology and no people bothering you.

I do - on a regular basis. I wish I could take a month off and do nothing but just sit with my feet up and… well that is it.

But after about a month that would get boring. Why? Because I am a person of action and service. And after about 30 days I would get bored and want to go out and do something. Teach someone something. Help a friend with a project. Anything to interact and help server my fellow man.

Which begs the question… were we put on this earth specifically for customer service? By “customer” I mean your family, friends and neighbors. It almost seems to simple. There is a good chance that the human existence revolves around the fact that we are supposed to be practicing customer service every single day. I am not going to get preachy here - I’d hate that if I read it someplace. But this is something you need to stop and think about.

There are plenty of things that we do that are self serving. And they need to be done. But from the moment we are capable of independently supporting ourselves we are in the position of performing customer service. This planet is one big giant helpdesk, and all we do is move back and forth from the front to the back of the counter.

Life is more rewarding when you are behind the counter. Have a kick arse weekend!
