As I was driving home from work today I was kinda fuming about the situation we’re stuck in…our employee situation hasn’t improved, if anything it’s gotten worse. I just got done working 7 straight and I’m jumping right into another, with many of my shifts being extending because of us having to cut someone’s hours. Really, it’s the 3 of us managers running the store. 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, just the 3 of us. It’s ridiculous and I wanted to vent about it…
However, as I was on that short roughly 2 minute drive home I passed 3 people who stopped to wave at me with beaming smiles and I couldn’t help but wave and smile right back. These are people that, although I’ve lived in this tiny little town for 14 years, I never would’ve met if it weren’t for my job. Sweet people that’s simply existence brightens my day.
By the time I got home I was actually a little teary eyed with the overwhelming love I feel for my job :) Yeah, the amount of time I’m having to put in right now sucks BUT I love the people I’m putting in that time with. Yeah, there’s asshole customers BUT there’s even more great ones. I might dislike the long hours here recently BUT I still never dread going to work. And THAT is always something to be thankful for :)
