i think i figured it out...

why exactly it is that i adore this job as much as i do... ok see if you can follow this ~ i explained it to a friend the other night and it made sense then

my favorite thing to do... make people happy ~ which makes it extremely frustrating to be me 'cause it is so hard to make everyone that i love happy

but see when you bring people their food... they are happy ~ even on a busy night when maybe you aren't getting to them as quickly as they might like or things are a little bit harried ~ when you set their salad down... or the garlic rolls and their main course ~ they smile and with very few exceptions are just happy

and for me i get to step back a bit and watch them... so i spend each shift i work truly making just about everyone that walks in our dining room so very happy ~ if i'm really lucky they will order desert and well there you go... major bonus

we get some grumbly people no doubt... but even then there are little things you can do that will turn it around and that's brilliant

my song last night... Sick and Tired ~ Cross Canadian Ragweed 'cause this fits how i feel right now...

'you're no longer sick and tired
everything around you feels brand new
the days fly by, the nights could be longer
everyday you're just a little bit stronger...'
