I wasn't looking forward to this week without my best friend here. Without knowing what to expect, I was hoping for the best, but dreading boredom, nerves and a sneak peak of what it could be like when he's on externship somewhere other than here.
BUT, the week is half way gone with just one more wake-up to go before he's back, and I've actually had a pretty good week. Here's a few highlights:
Feeding my competitive soul:
I won the Iced Via sales competition last week at work so this week I get to pick my deployment everyday. That means, I get to choose if I work at the bar, in the drive through or at the front register. I've been choosing the front register so that I don't have to have a head set on. Bliss. Pure bliss. And more than anything, I LOVE TO WIN!!!
Making friends and charming their freakin' socks off:
One of the reasons that I hate work place gossip, among other reasons, is that when I hear co-workers, or partners, as it were, talk about someone, it makes me wonder what they are saying about me when I'm not there. But today someone volunteered information that a certain cynic called me adorable. ADORABLE! I was shocked. I mean, you know the type, cynical, artsy, musician type, and the adjective adorable came out of HIS mouth?? Apparently I have him fooled. He seems to think that I am effortlessly funny, even when I don't even know it. I don't think that I'll tell him that I actually try really hard. But I'm winnin' those partners over one mishap of the mocha powder at a time. I LOVE WINNING!! And they love cleaning up after me. I'm pretty sure.
I did find out today from my manager that when I enter the room and he says, shaking his head, "Katelyn, Katelyn, Katelyn," that it's in reference to The Odd Couple. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I will do further research, and get back to you.
Mail Call:
I received a package in the mail containing a super cute canister from my mom!
Tonight is small group and tomorrow is the Poughkeepsie farmers market and the Poets Walk in Rhinebeck with a friend. And then IAN'S BAAAACK! I can't wait!
Hope your week is going as well as mine has turned out to be!
Dearest Kate ,
