I work in a restaurant, Anna. (Hint: my little animal under my name..... ) I've managed retail, restaurants, convenience stores and liquor stores. It is very draining at times. The only peace I have is when everyone is gone and I'm there alone with my paperwork.
I used to be a supervisor at Starbucks a long time ago. I hated the business - way too many irritating idiots!
Quiet is the reason that I go into the office on the weekends now. It's the only time I can get work done without someone's petty office drama getting in my way or the phone ringing constantly. It's actually very soothing to do paperwork and such in the quiet. I think I'm just weird.
some of it's magic
some of it's tragic
but i had a good life all the way......
