I had a very eventful halloween.
first, i was very upset and sad because i could've sworn that Produce Guy was working from 1pm - 9pm, but he wasn't there at all, so i was very mopey and i tried not to, but i really just couldn't help it. It was on my mind every second.
Then i saw his brother... Grocery Guy... who isn't a grocery guy anymore, and hasn't been for a long time now, but still. I've always been a bit attracted to him, and when he looked at me, i felt so guilty. About what? I was guilty about liking two brothers from the same family, guilty about liking the way that grocery guy looked at me, guilty that i didn't say anything to him and avoided him while he was there. I dont know what came over me but i became so overwhelmed. it's silly really, ridiculous even, but it was just a lot to deal with. I was working on halloween, produce guy was not working, and i like his brother. I took a walk during my break. it helped a bit. Mostly because i learned that there are horses by the lake i walk around. Animals always make things better.
After my break, around 5:00pm, i clocked back in, and i instantly noticed the hat that Produce Guy wears. He gets away with wearing a Green Bay Packers hat instead of the green produce hat he's supposed to wear. My insides rushed back to life, and then instantly melted. Keep it cool, i kept telling myself, and i did. I always do. Im too afraid to instantly acknowledge his presence, because i dont want to seem obvious... or anything. It was about 10 minutes later, when i was in Starbucks making a water, when he walked up. I got him waving at me when he sees me. He doesn't wave for anyone else.
We talked for awhile. I noticed he kept coming over to talk to me. I noticed he didn't just stroll up to Starbucks to talk to me like everyone else does, but he walked into the Bakery and stood beside me to talk to me. I even noticed a specific moment, when Cashier Starbucks Girl was getting him a water... he was outside of starbucks, while i was inbetween starbucks and bakery... he got his water, stood there for a second, and walked into the bakery and stood beside me and talked to me. He didn't have to do that. He could've just walked over to the counter and talked to me.
Later, around 7pm, when i was throwing the pastries away, he and i got to talking about things, and one of the deli team leads who likes to tease everyone (shes so awesome), teased Produce Guy about getting his work done instead of talking to me. I jokingly said "There is nothing wrong with talking to me!" and she teased "It's ok if he gets his work done!!" It made my insides flutter. Even she noticed that he was talking to me a lot. Produce Guy "got in trouble" for talking to me a lot.
A few minutes later, he asked me when i worked again. Minutes later he asked me for my email address so he could email me pictures he drew on the computer of a few people in Produce.
He talked to me pretty much his ENTIRE shift. He even said he was really happy today, and he hadn't been that happy in a long time.
the only problem is that he was telling me how he was getting fed up with his bosses, and he was thinking about quitting, same with Eye Candy Produce Guy. So, hopefully no one pisses him off too much...
Anyway, i think i had one of the best work days ever... probably the best Halloween too.
