Where is my auto pilot?


From the eyes of a newbie where is my auto pilot

When I drive long distances, take a shower, bake chocolate chip cookies, or fold my clean clothes my mind switches into auto pilot and my thoughts don't have to think.

Just a couple months ago I used to serve at a restaurant for three years and auto pilot was used quite a bit. Now having this new job where is my auto pilot? Sometimes I just want someone else to do the listening, the decision making and the thinking. I wish someone could climb into my brain and take the wheel, just for a little while.

Being new at a job you learn many things everyday. My ears always need to be opened and my mind sharp. Unlike college, where I could tune out in class and figure out my homework later, there is no book or internet site to look up questions for what I do. I can't pull my studious classmates over and have them outline the last hour, or look at their notes. There are no notes, no books nor reference, just me and my tired brain waiting for the day auto pilot will surprise me.
