Do you have regulars that you don't know their names? I do. I have so many. Let's see:
McDreamy
Doctor Model
Guy who wears scrubs that I don't know what he does.
Guy in the black shirt
UPS guy
The twin brothers
The couple I can't tell if they're married or brother/sister
Lady who always gets so many waters
There's probably more. But those are enough for now.
What about dreams? Do you ever just have crazy ass dreams for no reason. Actually the reasoning is probably that I'm extremely stressed. But I had a presentation yesterday and I had been having nightmares about it. Then also, maybe two nights ago I had a dream where someone I care for deeply died, but not only did they die it was a suicide. And I had to sit there and watch. I tried to help but there was nothing I could do. In the same dream I had tried to endlessly find this person. I went to their apartment. I could never find where they lived though. I tried relentlessly, it was almost like there was a mental block between me and this person which was preventing me from being able to find them. This whole series of dreams has bothered me and I I can't get it out of my head. I keep ruminating over it. Thinking about it. It's in my brain. I want to help, to save them, to find them. Everything. But I can't. I can't change the real world and I can't change my dreams. I want to so bad. I want so many things to be different. But the won't be. Or they can't be. Because of my decisions or other peoples decisions.
I don't know. So many thoughts. So little that I can change from all of this. So little that will allow change. I hate change, but I want it so bad. For somethings.
The twin brothers' names are Ed and Fred, if you wanted to know. But honestly, I found it way more fun to think of regular customers as whatever name I had given them in my head. Not out of disrespect, but because that name more encapsulated who they were with me during our interactions. Sometimes I really miss that familiarity now that I'm not a team member anymore. I kind of wish I could still talk to Philosophy Guy, Uneasy Smile, Flannery O'Connor Dude, and a few others.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to think of them of the twins. There's so many regulars I have that have their own nicknames. Starbucks guy. Mean old lady. Gift card lady. UPS guy is one of my favorites. And so is Guy in the scrubs. Also I miss working with you. Come see me more!
DeleteAsk UPS guy about those Guru Energy drinks, and he will talk to you for hours. I put him on those, and as a result he knew my name and came to talk to me every time he came in. That's one of the ones I kind of feel bad for not knowing the real name of.
ReplyDeleteI always bug him about getting a case of those. He and the guy who wear scrubs are two of my absolute favorites. I seriously get upset if they don't speak or come through my line because they are highlights of my day.I THINK one of them's name is Micheal but I'm not 100 percent sure
