(no subject)
Zack told me i was his favorite co worker tonight. Which as usual makes me so humored.i mean why wouldnt we get along, he's a christian bible studies major at the Zion Bible Institute with a minor in music... umm his life dream is to be a christian rock star...
the irony of good friends.
its just so funny because hes telling me about this girl (that comes and sits and does homework when hes working), and i guess their like dating sota kinda. and he tells me all the stuff going on and asks what he should do. but its hard to give advice to someone that devotes his live to celebacy and doesnt act like it. Im just not sure what he wants me to say because hes at the point that usually most couples would be getting alot closer and perhaps intimate, and thats not of any interest to him. or at least by his morals and values its not. So he asks me about life and so one and such. and he tries to help me out with the stresses and thoughts and events going on in my life but his form of dealing is so different. i mean basically, look to god he will help. unfortunatly that doesnt work for me. its not going to be that easy.
After all that though. Hes still someone i consider to be a great friend because we have such a funn time working together. and i know that i could talk to him anything and i know that if i needed anything he would totally be there in a second.
I suppose the other thing that really makes him different and stand out is that hes from north carolina, to him the North is this whole other galaxy, which i totally understand cuz for the most part northerns are fucking assholes. i even notice it and i am from this area. I remember feeling soo complimented when after 2 days of training him, zack said, " your not like the rest of the northerners, you dont mind talking to people and smiling" . which i find to be such a statement about the northerners.
He also grew up through his teen's in a christian rock group, traveling around the country, and apparently they were fairly big, as far as christian rock groups go.
I really have gotten a real appreciation for the people i meet in life, because its like no one is normal or bland after you get to know them. No one is that boring as long as you try and dive into their personality or passions.
The irony is that i close myself off from people so easily that i rarely let myself get to know people.
Being at work, im forced to be nice and hold conversation. and therefore end up making friends with people. Like george the old man that brings me seashells and (randomly) sugar free Crunch Bars. And Frank, the JUstice of the PEace who gave me a 10$ gift certificate to macy's for x-mas (granted i sold it to my mom, but none the less, it was an incredibly thoughtful gesture) he told me i was his favorite one there.
I cant tell if its that people can see that after all the smiling that theres alot going in my head to keep me unhappy inside and thier attempting to get through to that. or if their just completely fooled by my smiles and enjoy seeing someone else smile.
I cant say i dont appreciate it though. Even when ive had an aweful day, if i have to go to work at the Depot, i can easily become happy because i know that as much as people think they just want to get a coffee and leave, they always brighten up when i joke around with them or ask how thier day is or make a comment to them. I suppose its also because i truely and utterly LOVE my job. which is by far a scarey concept, because the fact of the matter is, the job i love so much, is me Making Coffee's and Espresso's. How simplistic?! And yet, i have such pride in a great Cappacino. or when someone comes up and tells me they had the best espresso in a while.
OK the coffee depot is done.
i cant imagine its thrilling readin material
