First Day on the Job
Just got a sandwich for lunch at the Deli around the corner. It can get crazy in there and today was one of those days. It was made worse by the fact that someone had not shown up for work. The girl who took my order seemed a little befuddled and ever-so stressed. She apologized for being so slow. She confided that it was her first day and she that was still learning. I replied that it was ok. I also told her that I had been there and to hang in there. She smiled back and looked relieved.

Sometimes a little empathy and understanding can go a long way to making someone's day a little better.

Do you remember your first day on the job? I have had some horrid experiences...
