Well, the first thing I found out when I arrived at work last night was that I was on drive-thru the WHOLE night. Dean came up to me and told me that I’d either ‘make it or break it’
Well, I guess I made it. Woohoo.
But anyway, I went to work in a relatively good mood. Everyone there was either mad or sad. Hence, I ended up retreating into a bout of depression because of everyone around me. Now, what was really quite funny was that even though Dean was in a bad mood, he couldn’t seem to stand to see me in one. He kept trying to cheer me up.
Amber was in a bad mood ‘cause she was sick and tired of people acting ‘like Burger King is a five-star restaurant. It’s not, people!’ And she was getting pissed at Dean since he was in a bad mood. Damnit, can’t people let me be happy?
But anyway....so I saw a lot of people I knew. Susan from handbells came in the front when I was just about to take my break, and she tried to order from me. Lol. I was like, “Um, I’m on break. You might want to order from Caleb.” Caleb was looking kind of disgruntled that she had ignored him. Hehe. I also saw Phil and Brandon come in through the front...neither acknowledged me, of course. And Ona came in, along with Nikki Gamble. And through drive-thru I saw Sam G, Erin Nieman, and Taylor, Jenny, Bailey, and Phil. Again. But when Taylor and that crew came, it was later at night, and Taylor ordered four waters in an unrecognizable voice. He was basically shouting in my ear! I kept hearing someone apologize, but I couldn’t figure out who. When they finally pulled up to get their drinks, I had just about panicked. I mean, the first question asked was “Is this April Bowman?” Hence, I didn’t know who it was or how they knew me...I was slightly scared. When I saw Taylor, it all clicked. I threw some napkins at me. Jenny and Bailey gave me a tip because of Taylor, lol.
I love my friends.
People in drive-thru kept saying ‘thank you’ and I love it when they do that! It makes me feel so special. I told that to Dean, and he’s like “Yeah, we have had nice people go through tonight. I dunno. Maybe it’s you.” Hmm. Are we saying I attract nice people or something?
When we closed, I went and changed into a different shirt. I hate the BK shirts. I wanted to be comfortable. Dean saw me after I had changed. “Hot date after work?” “I wish.” “Ah. Sorry I’m unavailable then.” Heh.
Well, after we were closed and I had done all the dishes and thought I was done, Dean came up to me. “Can I ask you a really big favor?” “Uh-oh. What?” “Linda’s never closed before, so she doesn’t know about putting the rugs up. Could you do that for me? Please?” “I suppose.” “Thanks so much! I love you!”
Now, the last sentence was a joke, I’m sure. But I am pretty sure that he doesn’t know what a chord he struck by saying that.
Well, I went out and put up the rugs, then remembered to check the ice. Guess who didn’t restock it earlier? So I had to get ice, also. Dean saw me getting it. “She didn’t do that, either?” “Nope.” “Wow. Thanks for checking. I’m going to marry you someday.”
He made my day...er, night, by saying that. Lol. But it goes on: “You’d have to be Mormon to pull that one off.” “What?” “You’d have to me Mormon.” “No, you don’t have to marry in the same religion!“ “No, I’m not Mormon!“ Josh intervenes and says “Why’d he have to be Mormon, then?” “Cause he’s already married!” Dean comes back. “No I’m not!” “What?” “I’m engaged, but I’m not married!” “Oh...but still.” “That’s it. I’ll have to marry you just to prove I’m not married.”
What a tease. But he’s awesome.
After I was done with the sweeping and mopping and restocking, I asked him, “What are you going to do without me for two whole weeks, Dean?” “Cry.” “Awww.” “But the real question is, what are you going to do without me for two weeks?” “Have fun in Florida?”
Then we went on talking about my trip and all that. Soon I remembered I needed two ‘available hours’ sheets because my schedule would be drastically changed soon. When I asked for them, he asked me why. “Because I have band camp one week, one free week, and then school...so I guess I need a third form as well.” “You’re leaving me again?“ “Huh?” “You said you’re going to band camp.” “Ah. No, that is here in town. And, actually, I’ll only be able to work nights because of it.” “Yay!”
Finally, he told me I could clock out ‘cause I was done. After I had gotten my bookbag and was about to walk out, he came up to me and hugged me. “Thanks for doing everything I asked and for putting up with my bad mood.” AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I told him no problem. Then I accidentally locked myself in. Go figure. I had to go out the back door ‘cause of that.
That was my night. w00t!
