Tears and Cheers

Today involved cake pops! To tell the truth, I actually had never had one before. But the guy from afore-said neighboring coffee shop stopped by with a little bag and asked if we wanted some cake-pops! I, of course, automatically answered, "Yes!" then later realized my out-burst was probably semi-inappropriate, and over-zealous. But I really, REALLY wanted a cake-pop. I also really like free things. Seriously. If you offer me just about anything that is free, I will probably accept it. But long story short: I GOT FREE FREAKING CAKE POPS!!!

I was really excited. But then, there was a girl today, and my heart about near broke for her. I don't handle upset people very well....I have a really bad tendency to empathize with them and over-think it by trying to fix everything for them, when sometimes people don't actually need fixing, emotionally. But anywho, this girl comes up to my window, and I do my cheerful welcome, and she sits down. I ask, "What can I help you with today?" And I think that must have just been the breaking point for the poor honey, because she bursts into tears!! I'm sitting there, looking at this girl, not sure what to do, but Honey Bear brings over a box of tissues, and I hand one to her and ask, "What's up?"

In the mumbling tear-filled sobbing way that we women have of talking when we are very disgruntled, she says, "My boyfriend just broke up with me, so I need to set up my own account. Also, take my name off of his.." My eyes of course get huge over this realization, and I say, "Of course hon! I can't do that, but a banker can..." so I taker her over to Blondie and sit her down, but first whisper, "Do you want a hug?" And the girl looks at me like I'm crazy, and says, "No thanks." Lol oh well. It probably was completely un-professional anyway.
