"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

Incompetence at its Finest

Today I got called "effing incompetent" by a customer [edited expletive, obviously]. It was an adventure, let me tell you...

The best part wasn't when he started yelling. Or when he threw a penny a me. Or even when he went off on me in language that I dare not repeat on here [because, quite frankly, I don't want to burn in hell for ruining your innocent eyes].

No, the best part was when everyone working at that time pretty much tried to kill him, all at once.

I've never felt so cared for. Within seconds, I was out of the harmful situation and safe, and people who really and truly care about me were defending me, protecting me. I was allowed ample time to collect myself before returning to work, and even the co-workers I barely know were concerned about how I was reacting to such violent verbal abuse.

They care. And for that, I will always be thankful. I've said before that they're like a big family to me, and I mean it. With all my heart.

You guys are the best. Thank you for being there. Always. :]
