Against the Odds

Greetings Folks,

Today the odds of it raining were 20%.  It would've been a good day to bet against the odds.  It's now 1pm and it's been raining since before I got out of bed this morning.

Yesterday I worked 7-3:30 which meant I had to get up at 5:30.  I didn't sleep well that night and at 2am I had to get up and clean up dog puke.  Needless to say I was a bit tired at work.  The morning was busy, the afternoon less so.  I actually think the slower pace makes for a better atmosphere, not just for the workers but also for the customers.  Long lines and employees running around to keep up doesn't seem like a  relaxing coffee house to me. 

The two shift supervisors working yesterday are probably the most relaxed of all the supervisors which made for a fun afternoon.  There was laughter, high fives and stories from one colleague about being a witness to a police shoot out that happened on the highway earlier this week.  (Well the last part wasn't really fun but we were all, of course, intrigued to hear about it.)  We were probably being a little too silly at times, however the necessary work was getting done.  It reminded me of the old times with the Crisis Team where every so often we would just have one of those days.  (I'm sure Heath doesn't miss those days!)  Sometimes, I think a silly day is necessary in any work place.  It relieves stress.  Laughter is medicine for the soul.

Last night I attended a gathering at a local health food store to learn more about Reiki.  It has been suggested to me that it might be something I'd be good at doing.  I am currently undecided on my feelings about it.  I met some interesting people and I'm glad I went.  Though I can't say I am any more interested in Reiki than before.  Who know if that's good or bad.

Another weekend is upon us.  Wherever you are, I hope the odds work in your favor for a good weather weekend.  I'm holding out hope to see the sunshine here before the day is through.

Until next time...
Peace, Love & Roll the Dice,
Hope
