Long Live the King

Okay, so no firing yesterday, although the owners were in the restaurant. We got a little bit busy, and my manager put on an excellent performance. He took orders for me, brought out food, even printed up bills - all with a smile on his face. He was so incredibly helpful and when I tried to tip him out, he wouldn't take the money, saying "We are a team." Now that's the kind of manager that I'd like to see everyday!

So, I feel guilty for yesterdays post and all the times that I've been waiting for the ax to fall on his neck. Although, maybe I'm suffering from a kind of battered wife syndrome where I take all kinds of abuse and then he comes back with flowers and sweetness and all is forgotten and forgiven.

One of the regulars at the bar tricked me into buying him a beer! I'm such a sucker! There's such a fine line where my best qualities can turn into my worst qualities. I'm trusting and forgiving, but sometimes, I become a doormat. C'est la vie!
