Back to the Basics

I was in Dinging Room again, and had to come in an hour later. My guess is that fries will be left to longer shifts. Speaking of, due to the power outtage (which is why I came in an hour later), the fryer and grill were down. Very bad news for the DR (Dinging Room) person. It meant that about half (if not more of the menu couldn't be served, hence no or very few customers. Mom says i shouldn't complain so much, and at least I'm employeed, and I am trying to take her advice, however, when I heard the news about sideline (grill/fryer) I couldn't help but feel annoyed and grumbly. Fortunately the fix it person came in and repaired the fan that blew out, so sideline was back up and running about a half hour into my shift, which was good, since there were enough people to keep me busy so the time went by. Supposidly if you tell yourself something long enough you believe it. SO I'm trying to think postive every time I'm put in DR. It wasn't so bad tonight, since quite a few people came in, and the customers are usually (9 times out of 10) very nice. A little muggy and warm, but that's just the weather here in general, so all and all it isn't a bad night. I'm a little tire, and find it hard to sleep at night. i think I need to get a fan for my room. I'm feeling a little down, but I should improve within the next couple days. Yesterday was just so great, that I guess it's a lot like a rollar coaster, you go up, and then you have to come down. But then you get to go up again, and really, life is one big rollar coaster, the really big climbs and falls, and the little hills. It's those small, thrilling moments that you get every once in a while that tend to make life worth it. Those tiny moments were no matter how tired, blue, bored, or just plain wanting to be somewhere else, suddenly God reveals somthing to you. Maybe it's a friendly smile, or a sunset, or realizing that instead of rain, it's sunny out, and you catch a bit of... how do I describe it... purity? A moment when you look at nature and see God's work in it and think, "wow..." and suddenly you feel good. While it's no so bright and sunny today, yesterday I had a moment like that. Even thinking about it makes me feel better. It's when your down that remembering the little moments helps you move on.
