Father's Day

Sent home early today because it was so slow in the cafe.  What kind of society are we turning into, where fathers don't demand tea on holidays?  What blasphemy is this, I ask you?

I met the busboy (BB) today, he's 15 and related to all of them.  Nice kid.  I figured he would slum around in the kitchen all day with his cellphone, but he actually stayed in the front of the house with Cathy and I when he had no dishes to wash.  I think BB has a little crush on me; it's cute.  Every time he came back from the kitchen he would wave enthusiastically and say hello to me.
BB: I waved at you!
TH:  Yes, I noticed.
BB:  You didn't wave back!
TH:  I just saw you five minutes ago.  I'm sorry.  I'll wave back from now on.
A little strange, but I'll chalk it up to weird hormones.

A customer came in to get an iced coffee to go, and when he put a dollar in the tip jar, Cathy ACTUALLY exclaimed OUT LOUD, IN FRONT OF HIM:
"Finally!  A dollar!"
I wanted to apologize to him, I felt completely embarrassed.  I gave a wimpy smile and mumbled for him to have a good day instead.

I headed out at 2:30, with good intentions of doing some work at home, but promptly fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.  My next day off is Wednesday.  So sore, considering getting a massage.
