guess what ebi did
[bad punctuation due to lack of strength in left hand.]
i hadn't even been at work for an hour. within the first 10 minutes, i scorched my left hand with boiling hot water while making tea for someone. usually, i don't make such stupid mistakes, but today, i did. i tried to continue serving as many people as i could, but then it got so unbearable that i had to go to the back and put my hand in ice.
mary-anne, one of the bakers [bless her soul] immediately began helping me treat it. the last thing we wanted was for it to start blistering. so, i stood with my hand in the burningly chilled water for 10 minutes, crying. at first, it was the pain that made me cry, but then i was crying because i felt so guilty for doing that. they were already understaffed while i was there, and when laurie told me i had the option of going home, i felt even worse. i knew i had to go home, but i wanted to stay and help. there were so many customers and only about 3 staff working out front. 1 on front cash, two on drivethru. i was supposed to be helping front cash. later, john came to me [he reminds me of ichimaru gin] and was rubbing my shoulder and trying to comfort me. he asked me what happened, but because of his short attention span, didn't stay long enough to hear it. that wasn't to say he didn't care; when he left, he went to get some burn cream for me. he kept telling me that it was okay, attempted to comfort me with his burn story. eventually, he went back to work, all worried. he was working another double again today, but that was decided even before he found out what happened to me. i couldn't stay anymore and mary-anne said i could go home. i wrote my contact info for the other staff just in case they wanted to know what happened. i'm sorry i won't be able to see matt tonight. he is my sunshine; i claimed him as my gay boyfriend, even if he doesn't know i did.
i'm still very sad that i had to leave them like that. i told them that i don't work tomorrow, so if they need me, and i feel better, they can call me or i can call them and we'll work something out.
but... yeah. i'm a bit more cheered up because of watching blades of glory with mom and dad.
matt, thanks for making the last 2 and a half hours of yesterday's shift super special awesome! i pity the poor soul that got cold water instead of smoothie. XDDDD
