One Hour Wait

This morning I got to work at 8:00(a little cafe about 10 miles from my house). It was okay at first, you know, not too many people. But about 1 hour in we got a crazy rush of people and the wait list for breakfast was over one hour. As we are all going crazy running around, I brought a table their coffee and the man sitting there said, “Oh! eemon!” (of course, that’s not a word. that is how it is sounded out… the real spelling is in Arabic) and he was flat out reading my tattoo! It was really cool considering I haven’t had anyone read it before. So as I was waiting on them, he taught me a few words in Arabic.

Later on, when I turned around to grab the pot of coffee, I looked over at the bar and saw Brian and Adam. Brian and Adam are two of my favorite people in the world. Whenever I see them, my day is immediately 100 times better. They are the sweetest, most genuine guys I have ever known and I love them like family. So, even though I was really busy, I ran over and gave both of them a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek. They wanted to know everything that’s new in my life and how summer’s been treating me. They hung out for a few hours… it was nice.

A party of like… 6 came in around 11:00 and they all ordered alcohol, so when I brought it out to them, one of the guys at the table elbowed my tray and all their beer spilled… all down my legs… and soaked into my Toms. Toms. Aka sponge shoes when wet. Yeah it was really nice, my shoes were soaked for the rest of the day and my feet were sticky.

Then, about an hour before I clocked out, our regular Tom yelled my name and held up and envelope. It was a gift certificate… for a 20 minute massage at the massage place next door. Best surprise ever!!! I guess he gives one to everyone that works there every once in a while. He is the best.

On my way home I remembered that I’m supposed to babysit tonight for like 3 hours… and then I got a phone call from they lady I’m babysitting for. But I ignored it because I was driving and called her back when I got home. She told me they wanted to switch nights and have me watch the kids tomorrow night… YES! so stoked. So I showered and now I’m listening to my new Bon Iver record and laying in bed with the windows open knowing I have no where to be. It is phenomenal.
