Dan-e–Hard to tell with folks, most of the time.

Phil–So nice to hear from you! As for one month to the next, mostly I go day-by-day, and even then I wonder how any of us do it.

Sometimes I wonder how I’ve gotten from one month to the next.

How do we perservere sometimes?

these short stories are great. it’s probably not unique to the service industry but i think that people who are incredibly social at work are often lonely people that use their job as a social outlet. i work with a busser who is always talking, whether people are listening or not. the few moments when he’s not chatting, he looks depressed.

Mike–appreciate it.

MikePete–I actually found it almost useful in one respect–When I had to throw someone out the other day–a first–I remembered the non-confrontational advice given in one of the videos. I know, stupid, but in the heat of the moment, it was good advice. Plus, my manager paid for my class. Very cool.

Laurie–Thanks. As for texting, as long as it’s a mix of both, I’m okay with it.

JoeinVegas–No, not really my perennial naysayer. That’s the point, wake up the next morning and move on from any worries of the day before. All good.

kgrrrl–You sound like me. We think too damn much, and over think everything.

Kim–Indeed. In fact, today is a toss up for turning out any which way in my world.

Sometimes I wake up, aware that it’s a day to renew myself.
And sometimes I wish I didn’t wake up.
Neither of these states, however, is much of a predictor about how the day will turn out.

Gawd, you totally just wrote everything in my head lately.
Each day is new.
But I wait for his text, but only cause he’s the one who loves me more… and I no longer feel the same, but just want to know he’s ok.
And I wait, and I hope.

I wish I didn’t.
It’s a girl thing, no matter what end, we care too much.
I wish we could turn that off.

Oh no, hanging on waiting for text messages again. Hope it goes well.

Nice writing RG. Keep it up!

On a side note, I have developed an aversion to people over 30 who constantly text instead of talking on the phone… WTF! I guess I’m old fashioned that way.
