Minimum Wage

So at some point this morning while I was at work I had a small revelation: I love my job. Like, I really really enjoy it. And I don't even do anything terribly important. I mean, I work at Graeters. I scoop ice cream and sell doughnuts. But it's the perfect job for a people-watcher like me. I am constantly fascinated by the people who come in.

There was a woman that came in who looked much too sophisticated for Cincinnati. She had her hair up in a smooth twist and she was wearing skinny jeans and a blue-and-white striped sweater and had an adorable brown clutch bag. Okay, this detailed description makes me sound very creepy, but for some unexplained reason, I was extremely taken with her. She seemed like a big-city writer or journalist of some kind. I tried to imagine her life, and what a person like her could possibly be doing in a suburb outside of Cincinnati.

There was also a lady who I saw who looked very... I'm not exactly sure how to put it. She reminded me of Sandra Bullock as Leigh-Ann Touhy. Just very rich and slightly demanding. When she placed her order, I was surprised to find that she had a strong accent. It sounded Russian, or something along those lines. And she ended up being extremely nice and friendly. And her name sounded very romantic (although I won't mention it), like she could be a Russian princess or something. I had a very enjoyable time imagining it.

I am constantly surprised by some people. There was a guy who came in, probably around mid-twenties, who, I'm not going to lie, kinda creeped me out. He looked a bit sketchy. But he came in, and immediately greeted all the employees, asked us how our days were going, and made conversation the entire time. He was so cheery and happy that I couldn't help but be in a good mood the rest of the day.

I love meeting new people, and seeing people I know. If there was anywhere I could work, this one is the best suited for me. I don't even really mind doing the dishes. Which is weird. I hate doing dishes.


Well anyway, those are my sentiments for the day. And now, I think I shall go to bed, since I worked at 6:30 this morning.
