I feel good.

It was a shitty weekend. Fourteen hours of work Friday, and people from both jobs making me nuts. Trouble sleeping, had to get up and visit the in-laws. My own personal hell after... Ummm... a few months of working 2 jobs (I can't remember anymore). But I feel great. I went out to get dinner tonight, and ordered pickup from what had to be the most polite young waitress I've ever had. The thing was, she had been crying, and you could tell. Her face was red, blotched, puffy eyes. She took my order, joked, gave me a seat and a free drink while I waited. Then she turned away, leaned against a coworker and started crying. When my order was ready, she cleaned her face, put on a smile and brought me my order. I slipped her $5, and told her I'd never had better service and a smile from someone who was obviously having a bad day. I got in my car and she ran out of the restaurant to stop me. She told me that I had made her day. Then she hugged me.
I feel good.
And I'm full….
