My shift supervisor is such a neat guy! Anyone who has worked knows that the people you work with can be just as important as the work itself! Well, beginning work at 5 am means that our two personalities and sleepy reactions / sense of humor, have to click.
And we click. After my initial shyness or distance or whatever it was when I first began, I was fast friends with Shift Supervisor Sammy. He’s funny and we dance around and sing the background music when no one is in the store, for that 4-6 minute period after we’ve served the line of people waiting for us to open and before the post-workout crowd.
I have seen it with other new colleagues there too, the initial shyness/distance followed by a full and loud personality. I wonder what it is about the initial stage of employment that makes the distance. I’d like to think it’s just that there are so many new people that it takes time to get to know them and a sense of humor level for each.
In any case, it’s on my mind right now so my blog post today is a “cheers” to my colleague Shift Supervisor Sammy. Pouring coffee for other people when I haven’t even had mine yet, wouldn’t be the same without you!
Be sure to tip your baristas, and bye for now.
