Awesome as a Blossom

This past week I worked a lot more than usual. I know that five days may not seem like a lot of time to invest in work, but when you put school, homework, and club responsibilities on top of that, things can get hectic. Thursday was my first night off for this week, so I decided to take my girl out...to Texas Roadhouse. Right before going to eat we had a friendly game of bowling (I won). Dinner was great, but it was a weird feeling knowing that I would have to come in for the biannual server assistant meeting. I finished my dinner and headed to the mall with Erica to look around. We returned to Roadhouse for my 9:30 meeting and Erica insisted in staying in the car. I hated the idea of having a meeting because the last meeting lasted over an hour longer than expected. After waiting a good 15 minutes for the meeting to start, I smelled a wonderful aroma. The manager had brought in appetizers for our consumption. Sadly, I was still stuffed from my meal earlier and refrained from eating any more greasy bacon, cheese fries and cactus blossoms. The meeting began and the boss went on this long rant about employ apathy. He told us that the servers did not care about us or our home lives, so we should not bring in any raw emotions. Suddenly the boss made a turn to a more positive note.

"Servers really do not care about you guys. But to tell you the truth, servers come up to me all of the time and compliment Chaz saying 'Chaz is so helpful. His work-ethic is like no other. He is amazing.'"

At this I was not shocked, but deeply surprised at its inclusion in the meeting in front of 12 other young guys. Some were jealous, but bore no harsh feelings. The meeting ended and I returned to my car to find this girl resting in the back seat.
