This week… It’s been a rough one. If I’m being completely honest, the past two months have been rough, but there’s been enough good times to forget about the bad – even if just for a moment.
At the beginning of the week, it began like any other week – I did my online course work, got my schedule for work, went to the market, etc. Unfortunately, when I went into work on Wednesday I found out that the restaurant was over-staffed and that they no longer needed me.
Honestly, it wasn’t all that much of a surprise, they’d let people go a few weeks ago, but the rest of us employed seemed to fall in a false sense of security, thinking that was it, but of course, it never is.
I don’t know if it was the people, the atmosphere, or just the restaurant itself, but I actually felt at home here. And having my boss sit me down and tell me they didn’t need me anymore was kind of the equivalent of being thrown on the street for me. Which sounds completely dramatic as I write this out, but god I loved this place. I never felt uneasy or hesitant about anything – I knew I could ask questions and not get chewed out. The feeling of trust and camaraderie I felt with these people – it was like nothing I’ve ever felt with coworkers before. I’m happy to know that I can still rely on a lot of these people – I’ve even been lucky enough to hang out with some outside of work!
So here’s ending on a lighter note… Although the week started off poorly, I got to spend some quality time with some wonderful people for two days straight. Did I mention that we got to go some of the most beautiful places ever here?
Definitely makes the past two months completely worth it.
Until next time!
Cheers,
Catherine
