I got fired today.
Except that I had already quit. I unknowingly thwarted the "best laid plans" and all that stuff. :)
I went to bed last night mulling over the bullshit of the day. I was mad at the perpetrators of the bullshit, but I made a pact with another involved to "let it go, move on." My much loved "friend" lent me the solid voice of experience I so severely lacked. Thank you, love you.
When I woke up this morning, the emotion was gone. Not like the "I forgive you" gone, but more like the I "shed that skin in my sleep" gone. The experiences were there and the lessons still learned, but somehow, in my sleep, I took back the power I gave them to cause an emotional reaction from me. Weird!
I remembered again today how much I love my job. It isn't about the coffee. It's about the people. How you make THEM feel and how you treat them. People don't pay $4.00 for a cup of cofee, they pay for "The coffee experience." We are the morning bartenders. WE are to Coffee Heaven, what "Cheers" was to Woody, Sam, and Norm. They come to us because we "know their names". We have the ability to bring a smile their faces. Pretty Rewarding.
All in all a very good day....I am at peace.
ps....I love you girlies...I will miss your smiles, and your laughter. I will miss dancing around the shop, singing at the top of our lungs. I am so proud of you both. You are talented, spirited women, and I am better for knowing you. (muah)
