ok. so, today... stunk.
i was rudely awaken by the people who put carpet in the basement... hence, my day started a little off kilter. when i got to work, my boss was there to ask my why i had not been at work saturday, but, when in reality i had asked her off for saturday 3 times, and my other boss twice and they both said it was fine. at this point she should have also told me that the espresso machine was broken, but... no. i had to find that out for myself. then i got yelled at, until i cried by the owner of the music store that my coffee shop happened to be in, because of the offending broken espresso machine. so i called my boss who yelled at the owner of the music store, then i called someone to come fix the darn machine. when the guy got to the shop to fix it, turns out it was unplugged.......... talk about feeling like an idiot. then, once it turned on, something else went wrong with it! good thing he was still there so i made him fix it. at this time i end up with a line of people wanting me to make them drinks, the first line of people ive had all day. THEN, the owner of the music store comes over to hug me and tell me that "its ok, you thought you were doing the right thing... im sorry!" which, is the most condescending apology i have ever heard. i didn't accept her hug or her apology. bitter? yes. then to frost my cake the girl who was supposed to take my shift over was late. and there were news reports of Iraq on the TV. talk about tears, i didn't think i was ever going to stop crying, not because i was especially sad but i was so mad. . . . anyway, i calmed down and went to work out after work. and i got a call from austin, to whom i proceeded to rant about my bad day. he asked me where i was and told me not to leave the Y. i was confused but, did as he asked... and about two minutes later he met me at my car with a bouquet of roses and a big hug. telling me that he was sorry my day had been so crappy and he hoped that, this would help make it a little better.
um, i have the best boy ever? yes. praise god for bear hugs and a happy note on a bad day.
