Karma <3's Me

Lately a lot of good things have been happening to me.

I've been finding extra money in my pockets, car and desk. Not a lot mind you, just a couple dollars and even a few times I had extra 5's!

I've been meeting awesome people. Alec, Cindy, Lauren, Karen (I think?) Johnnie (or Johnnie O! as some people call him), Mike, Johnny H, Sarah and many many more!

I've been doing exciting new things such as hanging out in Laguna at 2 in the morning with some street performers. Going to African Drum Circles on the beach under the full moon. Hiking in beautiful CA with psychic death survivors.

Getting Employee of the month at work (a cool pin and $50 in free food) and then getting recognition for all my hard work again at our annual employee meeting (that gets you a loud applause and a Starbucks gift card).

I played Poker the other night and for about 2 hours every hand I played I won! That all changed during the last hour. Chips dwindled down and then went all in. But still pretty lucky, right?

I'm feeling really good, blessed, and or lucky about all this.
And then tonight the following happened which could turn out to be awesome as well...

Tonight when I went to ask Ahn to come check out the Bakery so Marisol and I could go home he asked me

Ahn: "Amy, why aren't you and I sharing a dessert?"
Amy: "We should...tomorrow night" (I had already had some tiramisu that had fallen apart so it was unservable but still oh so delicious! Shh don't tell!)
Ahn: "We should sit down and have dessert and talk about your career at The Cheesecake Factory sometime"

I lighten up at this because I have been dropping hints wherever I could about being promoted to serving or food running and I have been planning on asking Ahn and Todd to sit down with me and have a meeting where I was going to tell them that I had to be moved up or I was going to have to quit and move back home because making a measly 9.25 and hour doesn't cover all the bills.

Amy: "Yes, yes we definitely should! Sometime this month..."
Ahn: "How about Tuesday after new menu roll out"
Me: "Sounds great" Big grin on my face...

So hopefully this little sit down will result in me becoming a food runner which is the next vital step in becoming a server at The Cheese and is also a big pay raise too :)

Well I better call it a night for early tomorrow morning I'm going to The Goddess Temple of Orange County to try out meditating!
