I am really committing to making time to sit down and write. Finally done a super long work week. I am finding that hard work and dedication are what keeps me semi-sane. Idle time isn't very healthy for me as I know from past life experience. So I get up and I go to work.
It's funny how you can start to learn a new city by serving everyone donuts and coffee. Now I'm the general manager but I love simply waiting on the same people every morning. I know their names, where they have to go each day, because everyone is in a huge hurry to get to where they have to go. Smiling faces, angry glares, numerous weirdos make up my daily work life. I walk to the store and I know how almost everyone of these faces drinks their coffee. I even know if they are lactose intolerant, because they request almond milk. I know who doesn't eat pork, because they order turkey sausage. It's crazy, but on most days that knowledge is a common thread. The city doesn't start until I unlock the doors of the store with brewing pots of hot coffee. Everyone knows me, but no one knows me..the ultimate paradox.
New life in Harrisburg...
