Most of the time when I write on here, it's about the bible and stuff, but since this blog is about counting my blessings, I feel the liberty to also write a bit of other stuff sometimes.
What, you ask?
Well let's begin by saying that this past February, God blessed me with a job! I've been working at McDonalds, which has been great.
My recent theory is that I am now bound to live a long and prosperous life, since I have been blessed by so many people at McDonalds.
No, I don't mean just normally blessed, I mean verbally blessed. It's been interesting.
Anyway, I just thought I would share a few stories which I thought were funny, feel free to laugh, or judge... y'know, whatever. I won't be offended. Especially if you don't tell me you're judging. I would appreciate that.
So story #1! This one day at work, I was on my break, just chatting, while drinking water, life was good, but then all of a sudden, my voice stopped. In the middle of my sentence, words just stopped coming out. I kinda cleared my throat, took another sip, and tried to continue talking. Nope. No voice.
I laughed and told my coworker, "I'm sorry," (in a very quiet raspy voice) "I don't know what's going on." I took another sip, but still nothing. So I went back out to work, and tried to call out an order number at the counter.
"Now serving guest with the order number 901!" I croaked. I don't think my coworkers even heard me.
One of my wonderful coworkers then offered to speak for me, so all I had to do was put orders together, which worked well, until one of the regulars showed up at the counter. "Keturah!" He greeted me, enthusiastic as he always is.
(insert frog voice here) "Hello!"
Oh my goodness. Yeah. That was an interesting day.
One time I got offered a piano. That wasn't really a story, but like... Who gets offered a piano at McDonalds?
Recently, there was a guy who, upon giving him a coffee refill, decided to give me some advice and encouragement for how to be successful. He recommended universities, and strongly encouraged me to get a good education.
A few weeks afterward, I gave him another refill, and got a repeat of the speech. This time though, he actually asked what I was planning on doing with my life. I told him I wanted to do ballet, and he looked SO disappointed. After much questioning and passive agressive disapproval, he was still determined to bless me in my efforts, so he gave me a long speech about how to become successful in the arts, which, (he made sure to add) VERY few people are successful in.
That was not the last time I was to see him though! Yesterday I saw him again, and received another speech about how to be successful in ballet. I am getting the feeling he will be wanting regular updates...
Well, I'll leave it at that. I hope that was a fun read, next time I'm sure I'll be back to posting more serious stuff.
