* So yeah, predawn and several stories underground I pounded an energy drink and grew delirious in my minivan. FUCK IT, I rashly proclaimed to the Twitter! It is going to be a GOOD DAY because I SAY IT WILL, and I am going to SMILE and I am going to serve the HELL out of some customers. And if it is as dead as we expect it to be I will smile ANYWAY even if ERRYBODY ELSE is SURLY!
* And then I went to work, and it was dead, and errybody was surly, and I smiled, and volunteered to hang around so someone else could leave early.
* And then ten minutes before I was supposed to leave we suddenly had as much business as we do all day, all at once, and we were understaffed, and it was RIDICULOUS.
* So I kept a smile on my face and stayed two hours late and made ten times what I usually do in cash tips on a given weekday, and the large group that made up most of the rush even gave me a box of cupcakes. CUPCAKES.
* I still say magical thinking is largely bullshit. However: we made rent. And also: CUPCAKES.
* I win, Monday!
