an ode to O'Charley's

Dear Chux,
We've had a good run...5 months is nothing to shake a stick at. Our relationship started off a little rocky but we've grown together during this time, and we've had some fun in the process. Of course, nobody is perfect: I dropped trays of food right in front of the people all prepared to consume it and dropped plates of salad on the cold floor. You required time and effort on my part, but we created a friendship unique to itself. However, it's time to say good-bye. It's not you, it's me...I've found something new, something far better than you could ever be for me. Don't be sad...I'll be around. It's time to move on, but we can still be friends...

Yours truly,
Peggy

life as we know it

So, more changes around the Bauman household. Next Friday will be my last day at O'Charley's! Not because I absolutely hated it there or anything, I just have a better opportunity to do something I love for much better money than something I simply like.

Awhile back I was struggling with what I wanted to do with my life, and I think I have it: be a barista. It's relaxing, most of the time it doesn't feel like work at all, and best of all, I don't have to graduate from college to do it!!! I guess I always thought that someday I'd have to grow up and get a "real job" but I'm finding out that maybe that isn't the path for me. And you know what? I'm ok with that. =)
