It's really interesting, I've been looking back on a time in my life that I've been somewhat nostalgic for; a time that had a lot of positive memories but also some really rough times. And after time passed, I had been able to block out the crap, and keep the positives; hence, I was nostalgic for it. It's funny then when something happens to make me realize how thankful I am that it's a part of my past.
I'm thinking of a job I had when I was 16. Caribou Coffee. A bunch of teenage girls, catsy-bull...I absolutely loved that job, but the teen girl politics made it miserable. It made me realize that a good friend I had, wasn't a good friend.
But in the end, it's not a sad thing, because I was just sobered up by a recent incident. I was reminded that, though yes there were great parts of that time in my life, there was a definite equal - no, exceeding amount of hardship. I mean, 16 year old hardship. College was easy, my job was difficult...ha, at 16. Now, I have a job that I love even more, and the hard stuff is a busy morning that kicks my ass. There's none of the drama that went with the stupid #146 store.
I found out the other day, it still plagues that place. It made me feel a little bad for the people involved, and also really thankful for my drama free job.
Cheers to one of the top 10 best places to work! and the best co-workers.
