a job, a smile, a kiss, a startled look

if indeed i am to remain in oak harbor the coming necessity of a job has been imminent, so far as the issue of money.. but a job is more than just a way to earn this tool, a job is good for teaching a person discipline. which i do need.

Well, i got a job, beginning April 1st (No fooling bout it) I have been employed by the resturaunt chain applebees. ;and to note, 1. its a better place to work than my past 3..maybe 4 jobs, maybe all-tho it is work and always will be work 2. its a food place thats healthier than mcdonalds, but i only suggest u eat there if u also workout that same day.

Thus, i has job.

im the opening host thruout the week, so far everyday i work in the morning at 1030-whenever they tell me go home. (which depends on the amount of guests, but on average 230) cept for saturdays, i have had off; and sundays i work 11 or 4.

Thus a smile.
Be it known, i dont smile at every guest because i am paid too (and i actually dont smile at every guest) i do it because i genuinely want them to enjoy their meal. many come by to get away from the stress of work, and or to visit family in a function that gives our bodies energy.

Well, u should know that there are definite regulars, and guests who return reoccuringly either daily, weekly, or monthly. Today i share a visit of one such group. A group of mostly older than me in twelve years asian ladys. aka 40 yrs, and a few 60s. 8 in all. they came not all at once, but in two's over about an hour; and the last two to come in, was a 45ish and a 60ish year old asian lady. the latter, using the younger as a support to walk, looked at me and smiled. I holding the door open, with a smile of my own promptly said the paid for phrase: "welcome, to applebees". with her left arm she then reached for my right hand seemingly and i put out my left hand cautiously. in my preparation for the upcoming awkward handshake my mind was preoccupied when my eyes attempting to alert me that she had grasped my right arm which was crossed in front of my chest; then she pulled up and kissed my lips on the right edge.

Thus, a kiss.

ergo,

thus a startled look.
