On my way to work today, I was thinking about how my life has been going lately especially over this past break. Having a job and being part of the work world, it's really a different life. I mean I wish I could spend time with friends, enjoy the weather, or do as I please, but it's not like that. I can work all day, from sunrise to sunset, and I come home at the end of the day to nothing. Nothing in the sense that I have to eat dinner alone, and embrace the fact that I haven't been able to hang out with anyone. This is what life will be like when you're older. You have a responsibility and you have to earn your living. I've gotten a taste of that. Enjoy life while you can with all the freedom you've been given.
Today I worked a straight 8 1/2 hours without a break. It was pretty intense, but I do work son! Anyways, every time I work there is practically something that happens that day that is memorable. Today was truly one of those days. I was working back drive-through and a pair of teenagers pull up to pay for their food. Their total was $2.14. The couple handed me a dollar and some change and they continued to search their car for money. When they asked how much they had given me. It was $1.38. They gave me more but it wasn't enough. Looking at them, I decided to pitch in a dollar to pay for the rest. I gave them their leftover change and they were super thankful for it. I felt really good about myself.
But it doesn't stop there! So a couple orders later, an older woman pulls up to pay. Her total was $9.06. She gives me a bunch of 1's and the 6¢ and I count it at first and there's 10. I was like no that can't be right. Why is there an extra 1? I asked her and she sensed my confusion. She later explained to me that the extra $1 was a tip since I'm working and that I'm nice. I simply couldn't accept it, but she said she does it all the time. I tried handing it back but she started to drive off. I just said thank you. What great karma. My dollar found its way back to me.
God truly does work in mysterious ways.
You are having a great day. You will remember for a long while.
