I’ve been under the weather for a couple days now, but that hasn’t stopped me from having to do insane amounts of physical labor. I’ve been getting our house ready to go on the market. Part of that included climbing on the ridiculously steep roof to do some post-hurricane clean up. I nearly fell off…true story. I have a couple swollen toes to prove it. So, after a full day of manual labor, I had to go work a closing shift at my job. I really wasn’t feeling up to it. I tried to get some one to cover for me, but only one person even responded to me, and they said no. Everyone else just ignored me (which is common, people often choose silence of have saying no). So, I had to tough it out and go into work. As if that weren’t enough, I realized that I didn’t just have to close the store. No, no, it was the last day of the month which means I get to do all the month end stuff. Lucky me. But, the cool thing is…this morning I got a call from my boss. He left a message thanking me for doing everything so well. He said that the store was perfect, and it nearly brought a tear to his eye to see it. Lemme tell ya, that totally just made my day. People don’t usually think twice about calling you out when you make a mistake (not that i ever make any :P), but how often do people actually go out of their way to appreciate you?
