Valentines a RECAP

This Valentines Day or Single Awareness as many of my peers like to call it was crazy. On Wednesday and V-day I got a mini job helping out my friends who own a flower shop. You see there are so many deliveries that need to be done, that they need to outsource to friends and family to pick up the slack. I decided to put the Element to use, and became "jodi the Jolly deliverer" for 2 days. It was stressful, funny and actually made me happy. I love seeing peoples faces light up when they get flowers, a look of curiosity of who sent these and my favorite was the response of the last delivery on Thursday. It was at a beauty salon and it was for a very eccentric hair dresser. He blushed, he cooed, he gushed and was so dramatic about the delivery I just couldn't keep from smiling. One woman who worked at a Mesa School decided the flowers were not good enough and I ended up having to return to the school, pick up that arrangement and come back with a completely new arrangement (i feel like she was a bit ungrateful seeing that the flowers were fantastic as they were). I wonder about peoples personalities and character sometimes. I know with most people we encounter we only get a snap shot a tiny slice of who they are. Yet, some of the actions, words, slices are so telling it is hard not to make overall judgments. All in all being "Jodi the Jolly deliverer" was worth it.

I had to cut deliveries short because It was V-day and Chili's had me on the schedule to serve it up. I busted my booty getting extra sides of ranch and keeping strawberry lemonades filled to the brim over and over again. A few people I knew came in and it is always fun to wait on people I enjoy. I finished about 10 and didn't make a killing but did make enough to enjoy me some Chili's food and just hang out with the other workers who were finally off the clock too. I gotta tell you I enjoy the other workers. I have always wanted to be a server. It just looked so fun to interact with the guests and the other workers (plus the days of DQ were some of my funniest work memories). Guess what, it is fun to chill with the random server staff. They are crazy.

You gotta love a V-day filled with randomness and being busy. Honestly I had a great time and made good monies. So i guess the point is, if you can't be madly in love on the big day at least take advantage of the commercialism of the whole thing, and make some money. I LOVE LOVE, but I LIKE MONEY.
