We all make
mistakes. Lord knows I make about ten a day.
Tonight was a
pain my ass. We had a benefit night at my job, kind of sprung on me without
notice. This always drives me a little nuts because we don’t get to keep our tips on benefit nights. To make matters
worse, I have a huge catering even coming up, I’m short on inventory, planning
Free Cone Day and trying to get together a special event for the company.
Because
somewhere up there someone is intent on making my life a living hell just
because it’s funny; my scoopers for the benefit
didn’t show up. See, they didn’t think they had to do anything; we would
just hand them a check without having done any of the work. I had to get a
customer who knew someone in a group and call them. We finally got two of the
girls in. They turned out to be really nice, just mildly confused.
I worked with
them all night to make sure they actually got some money out of the deal. I
didn’t want a silly mistake to ruin their chances to do what their group needed
to do. They worked hard all night and
did a really good job.
I could have
thrown them out, I had that option. After all, they were basically no shows on
a previously agreed work schedule. But I didn’t want to because they made a
mistake. I make mistakes every single day, tons of them. Maybe even more than
the average man. And I would like to think that other people would give me the benefit
of the doubt if I made a mistake like that.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Forgive and
forget, move on. Forgiveness is about you, it’s something you do for yourself
in order to get it off your chest.
