Proof for 311 for your time uTeyah ! Edit loltiny bee name in poll <| sep |> I had to work all day today . I was bummed , I miss my family , I felt burned that my boss wouldn ' t just close the store , that he didn ' t think that maybe I wouldn ' t want to do thanksgiving 3 years in a row . Anyway , while I was sitting at my post throwing unnecessary shade at people just trying to buy last minute stuff because I was coming to terms with possible mistakes I ' ve made in the past that landed me here , an older lady came in , just full of smiles and sunshine . Oh looks like you drew the short straw , super lame you have to work today , the sort of comments that usually put me in a much more foul mood . I was being my cantankerous self , again for no reason other than self pity , when she explained during checkout that she ' s been looking forward to going home and hanging out with her dog and watching some Netflix . That she ' d love to see her family but they ' re across the country , schedules are hard , and she ' s just happy to have a nice day . My family at most is 3 hours away . We talk all the time , and they love me . They support me in all my strange ventures and have always been a strong supportive rock in an otherwise strange and tumultuous life I ' ve led . I have the most amazing woman to come home to that loves me and is the shining point in my life . I am so lucky , and I find myself upset about trivial things when In reality I ' m incredibly lucky and very blessed . I ' m thankful this year to have that perspective sometimes . And I learned a good lesson today . I hope you all have a thing you can rely on . Love you folks .
