I missed reading your pieces, briffin! I worked in restaurants too, still do sometimes. I get some freelance shifts from time to time. It’s a great business if you are a writer. Being constantly surrounded by people from all backgrounds can truly show you stories are built. And to hear their stories… to hear their conversations when they think no one is paying attention to what they are saying, that is priceless.
Loved this. For the most part, we’re all immersed in our own bubbles. When it’s finally popped and we become observers rather than participants, we realize how arbitrary parts of our existence seem. Then we can acknowledge that everyone’s got their quips and mishaps and we’re not the only ones on this rock. It’s nice to get that reality check every now and then.
