beansideAnother entry for Dar Williams subject week! I'm finding Dar very soothing. It's very easy to come up with a good song for the day.
The cat decided that I should be up half an hour early and began screaming at the top of her little lungs. I hurried over and checked on her, only to find that she was bitching about waiting for her food. Once I fixed that, I looked at my phone and saw I only had a smidge under 30 min, ad just got up. Wasn't worth getting comfy and having to get back up.
Yesterday was a very good, but a little bit strange day. I spent a lot of time filling in spots, and taking calls, to the tune of 49 total. Then about mid morning, I got a customer compliment which was very sweet, and made me sound good. When one of us gets a compliment, the manager who receives it will copy it and then send an email to the team. So in the morning I get a very sweet compliment, and the team will respond with gifs and "great job!" I have a folder in my inbox titled happy that I save all of them in. So that was nice, and I was happy about it.
Lunch was good. Had some leftover rice and beans and played with my new Tortilla press. I can make tortillas! I am still tweaking the recipe as far as lard and baking powder amounts, but I'm close. The tortillas I got were tender and delicious.
I came back from lunch from another message from a manager. I assumed it was in the same chain of shout outs, you know, good job, etc. But no. It was not.
Despite a bad outcome to the test I'd scheduled them for, the person I'd helped before wrote a compliment. And it was a doozy. I don't know what they do for a living, but they should consider writing.
I wish I could post the entire thing, but alas, HIPAA. I'll share the snippets that made me cry at least. I don't think I have ever had a stranger say such kind things to me, and told me that I matter quite like this. I had to take a few minutes to process before I could get back on the phone.
"In that moment, Teresa was simply more than she needed to be. She is a stellar human being that has an awareness of those outside of herself and in that beauty, she passes beauty onto others – even over the phone."
"You don’t have to have any letters behind your name to have a heart. I will never forget her gentleness and generosity. And that will be one of the bright spots on my likely 5th cancer journey now.
SHE is the bar you want to set.”
It 100% made me cry. I got a flood of replies from my teammates about it. And most of them said that they weren't surprised that I got all this nice stuff said about me. A couple of them made me need to take another moment. It was weird.
The rest of the day felt kind of surreal. I finished work, and sat down with my warm feelings for a few before I made dinner.
Dinner was a big ass Dutch baby pancake and sausage, which was all very good.
Then, we had our Brindlewood Bay game, and maybe still on a high, I made a daring, move in game, and told our prime tormentor, who has probably killed a handful of people to get fucked. This will one hundred percent come back to haunt me, but I can deal with that.
While I was waiting for game, I also bought a few new TTRPG maps from Czepeku. They're amazing, and have multiple versions of each map, to fit various situations. If any of my DMs are interested, hit me up and I'll send you the link.
For now, time to get myself together. Everyone have a wonderful Thursday!
