I just checked my voice mail and there was a message from my immediate supervisor at the Banquet Staffing Service. She very kindly thanked me for putting out this morning's fires though I was technically off (I'm still an hourly employee) and said that she would not forget it going forward. That really means a lot to me - having someone express some appreciation, and it is also something very new to me. Tell you what, express some gratitude, I'm much more likely to be fully present during the next (and there will be a next, we are talking food and beverage here) crisis.

So something nice happened today during my wait at the Municipal Courthouse, and something that I really appreciate. Rob
