I am *so* very happy to announce that I am completely exhausted. So it goes without saying that I'm going to try to keep this brief.
Today started off crappy. I don't enjoy days where people annoy me and the minutes drag on feeling like hours. I don't enjoy days where silly people - who want two extra large pizzas with 14 toppings total - get angry at a $50 bill and then end up wanting delivery outside of our boundaries. The result is a cancelled order that cost a good 15 minutes worth of pricing estimates and annoyed customers standing in front of me. I don't enjoy days where we're overstaffed and underworked and I feel useless standing around for the last 45 minutes of work.
I do, however, enjoy days where I get permission to leave 45 minutes early at the request of a friend in need.
I'll tell you what's beautiful...when you get a message from a friend (whom you generally rely on for support, comfort and encouragement) asking if you can find some time in your evening to spend with them because *they* need one or more of the above.
It's funny how sometimes a miserable day can turn really great knowing that you have someone out there who will be there when you need them...and also someone who might need you to be there once in a while, too.
The best part of my day wasn't simply getting out of work early or having my dinner bought for me (although I do quite enjoy spinach dip)...the best part was a mere hour and a half tossed spontaneously between work and previous engagements to just...be.
"She thought of me..."
- a quote from my brain for probably the first 20 minutes of my drive home
